## Quick answer

Our own pages, tools and statistics set no cookies. Google Analytics 4, which we use to measure which pages are read, sets the _ga and _ga_* cookies. Our visit counter from hub.cr43dv6zq7.com uses no cookies. If advertising is switched on, Google may set advertising cookies; visitors in the EEA, the UK and Switzerland are asked first, and their choice is kept in browser storage, not a cookie.

## What we store in your browser

| Item | Type | Why | How long |
|---|---|---|---|
| _ga | Cookie, Google Analytics 4 | Tells new visits from returning ones, for our page statistics | Up to 2 years |
| _ga_* (for example _ga_TP597C0M30) | Cookie, Google Analytics 4 | Keeps the state of the current visit for our page statistics | Up to 2 years |
| cc_s | Session storage, our visit counter (hub.cr43dv6zq7.com) | A random visit number so page views in one visit are counted together | Until you close the tab |
| Your consent choice | Local storage ("icf-consent") | Remembers whether you accepted or declined personalised ads | Until you clear your browser storage |
| Admin sign-in | Session cookie, admin pages only | Keeps the site owner signed in to the admin area | Until the browser closes |

## Analytics cookies

Google Analytics 4 uses the _ga and _ga_* cookies to count visitors and visits; it does not use them to show you ads on this site. You can block or delete them in your browser settings or with Google's [opt-out browser add-on](https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout). The site works the same without them. Our privacy policy explains what Google Analytics receives.

## Advertising cookies

When ads are on, Google AdSense and its partners may use cookies or similar technologies to show ads, limit how often you see them and measure them. In the EEA, the UK and Switzerland, personalised ads are shown only after you consent.

## Changing your choice

Clear this site's storage in your browser settings and reload any page; the consent banner will appear again if it applies where you are. You can also block or delete cookies in your browser at any time.

## FAQ

### Does the site work with cookies blocked?

Yes. Every page, tool and search works without cookies.

### Why do I not see a cookie banner?

The banner appears only where consent is required for advertising cookies, and only when ads are switched on or your region is unknown.
