Cookie policy

Last updated: September 27, 2026

This page explains cookies and similar technologies on PolicyPlain (policyplain.org). Guides and tools remain available if you choose Essential only—we never use cookies as a paywall. See also our Privacy policy.

Your choices

On first visit we ask you to choose. We do not treat closing the page or ignoring the bar as consent.

• Accept — allows analytics and advertising cookies (Google Analytics, and Google Ads / AdSense when those tags are configured).
• Essential only — the site works; analytics and ads storage stay off via Google Consent Mode.

Your choice is stored in a first-party cookie named pp_consent for up to 12 months (all or essential). Use Cookie settings in the corner of any page to change it.

Essential cookies

• pp_consent — remembers Accept vs Essential only
• pp-region — remembers US vs EU/UK reading preference
• Accessibility preferences may be stored in local storage on your device (text size, contrast) — not used for advertising

Optional analytics & ads

Only after Accept, and only when measurement / ad IDs are configured on the server, we may load Google tags. We use Google Consent Mode v2 so default storage is denied until you Accept.

How to withdraw

Open Cookie settings, choose Essential only, or clear site cookies in your browser. You can also use Google’s ad settings for ad personalization controls.
