Cookie Policy
Last updated: 2026-08-16
This policy explains necessary and analytics storage used on stonewards.top, plus advertising storage if AdSense is enabled later.
1. Necessary storage
Necessary storage is active because it supports basic site operation:
- Locale preference: remembers that the site uses its English locale.
- Delivery and security: hosting providers may use short-lived security or load-balancing data.
2. Analytics storage
Google Analytics 4 and Microsoft Clarity load automatically and may use cookies or similar identifiers to measure visits, pages, sessions, devices, referrals, and site interactions. Clarity may also produce masked session recordings and aggregate heatmaps. Analytics storage is granted by default when the site loads.
3. Advertising storage
If AdSense is enabled after approval, Google and approved advertising partners may use cookies, web beacons, IP addresses, or other identifiers for ad delivery, frequency control, measurement, fraud prevention, and—where permitted—personalization. Advertising storage is granted by default where the site's analytics configuration allows it. Adsterra native banners on article and hub pages, when enabled, may use similar identifiers for ad delivery and measurement.
4. Browser controls
This site does not display a cookie preference pop-up. You can block or delete cookies through your browser, use private browsing controls, or install Google's Analytics opt-out browser add-on. Blocking analytics storage may reduce measurement accuracy but does not prevent you from reading the site.

6. Changes
We update this page when the configured providers, cookie categories, or purposes change. Contact [email protected] with questions.
