Privacy policy

Default loading, and how to withdraw

GA4 requests use www.googletagmanager.com and www.google-analytics.com. Clarity uses www.clarity.ms, scripts.clarity.ms and regional collection subdomains under clarity.ms. Adsterra starts with bicea.org; its creative partners may vary. All three load by default; Reject turns them off. Google Consent Mode starts with ad_storage, ad_user_data and ad_personalization denied, analytics_storage granted, and ads_data_redaction enabled before configuration. The vendor-loading choice is separate from those Google advertising signals. We do not require an Accept click before measuring or advertising. If localStorage has no valid choice, the page writes accepted and loads GA4, Microsoft Clarity and Adsterra on the first view. The banner still appears, so the default is visible and can be withdrawn at any time.

Pressing Reject writes rejected to twau_consent_v1 for 180 days. The page unloads the vendor scripts for the current view and reloads; later views do not request them. Pressing Accept reverses that. Cookie settings in the footer reopens the banner. Global Privacy Control and Do Not Track are treated as Reject.

The default loading described here is a technical setting, not a claim that continued browsing gives valid consent under every privacy law. Use Reject to stop analytics, recording and advertising requests. Contact us with a privacy request at [email protected].

Google Analytics 4 (G-VT7PKSD4M7)

GA4 runs on every page. It sets _ga and _ga_VT7PKSD4M7, reads them on later visits, and sends page views, approximate location derived from the request (Google does not store the IP address for GA4), device and browser details, referrer and interaction events to Google. We do not link this property to a Google Ads account, and we do not upload customer lists.

Event-level retention follows the configured property setting; this review did not independently verify that setting. Aggregate reports may be kept longer. Google acts as our processor under its data-processing terms. You can refuse GA4 with Reject here, or install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on so GA4 does not run on any site.

Microsoft Clarity (project z5mk4xlu6t)

Clarity records anonymised sessions and heatmaps: clicks, scrolls, taps, page URLs, device and browser, and a first-party identifier. Text typed into form fields is masked by default. It sets _clck (1 year), _clsk (1 day), CLID (1 year), MUID (1 year) and SM (session). Session recordings are kept for up to 30 days and heatmaps plus aggregate metrics for up to 13 months.

Microsoft is the processor for Clarity and its privacy statement applies. Reject sends Clarity consentv2 with analytics and advertising storage denied, removes the tag and stops this page view's collection; later views do not request it.

Adsterra advertising (website 6161507)

We load two Adsterra placements: Native Banner 31995976 (NativeBanner_1) and Social Bar 31995977 (SocialBar_1). No Popunder, Banner or Smartlink is loaded, and adult ads are switched off for this website in the Adsterra panel. The invoker scripts come from bicea.org and are created by our own loader after the document is parsed, so they do not block the first paint.

Adsterra and its demand partners set cookies and similar identifiers to cap frequency, measure impressions and clicks, and personalise ads where permitted. The names are chosen by the network and can change per campaign — for example a first-party Adsterra user identifier and partner frequency-cap cookies. This site's own code sets none of them. We do not pass your email address or any account data to Adsterra.

You can opt out of personalised advertising at https://adssettings.google.com, https://optout.aboutads.info and https://optout.networkadvertising.org. Adsterra's own policy is at https://adsterra.com/privacy-policy/. Adsterra receives the approximate location and technical data that any ad request carries. Reject disables this loader on later page views.

YouTube, only when you press play

Trailer buttons use a picture hosted on this site. They do not request YouTube while you are reading. If you press play, the page inserts a player from www.youtube-nocookie.com. That request can set cookies such as VISITOR_INFO1_LIVE, YSC and PREF, and it receives your IP address. YouTube's terms and Google's privacy policy apply from that moment. We do not receive a copy of your YouTube account.

Your rights and how long we keep things

You can ask what this site holds about you, ask for a copy, correction, deletion or restriction, object to processing, or withdraw consent. Email [email protected]. The only record we control directly is the consent choice in your own browser, so clearing site data removes it and the next visit counts as a first visit again. Vendor-side data is deleted under the retention periods above and the vendors' own request procedures.

You can complain to your local data-protection authority. We will change this page when the script list changes and put the new date at the top of the news log if the change is material. There is no sale of personal information, because we do not collect a customer database.
