1. What are Cookies & Local Tracking?
Cookies are small text structures placed, modified, or accessed in your browser when you visit websites. Local tracking may also utilize browser cookies or standard HTML5 localStorage parameters inside your local device cache to speed up retrieval times and sustain custom layout preferences.
2. Explicit Cookie Categories & Purposes
| Category | Cookie / Cache Name | Purpose & Deployment | Lifespan | Compliance Basis |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Strictly Necessary | _whois_history, _theme | Tracks recent searches and theme choices entirely on your browser. Never transmitted to our servers. | Persistent (Until cleared) | Exempt from consent: Essential for user-initiated features. |
| Performance & Analytics | _ga, _ga_* (Google) | Captures anonymous traffic trends, referrer channels, page latencies, and device configurations. | 2 Years max | Opt-in (EU/UK) / Opt-out (US): Active after consent approval. |
| Marketing & Targeting | __gads, IDE, DSID (AdSense) | Delivers relevant regional advertisements and monitors visual ad performance. Prevents duplicate ad blocks. | Up to 1 Year | Opt-in (EU/UK) / Opt-out (US): Disabled by default in compliance zones. |
3. UK, EU, and US Consent Management Protocols
- For UK & EU Residents: Non-essential analytics and marketing tracking elements are blocked by default. They are only initialized once you signify dynamic voluntary agreement (consent).
- For US Residents (CCPA/CPRA rights): We support local opt-out capabilities. To opt-out of "sale" or "sharing" of personal data or custom targeted promotional metrics, you can directly adjust your Google Ad Settings profiles or configure browser and security parameters to block third-party identifiers.
4. Disabling and Removing Installed Cookies
Most modern browsers allow you to change cookie configurations to fit your comfort levels. Navigate to Google Chrome Settings -> Privacy & Security, Apple Safari Preferences -> Privacy, or Mozilla Firefox Settings to review active cookies and clear your local cookie data blocks.
