They
2			allow the site to remember information about your visit — such as your preferences — so
3			you do not have to re-enter them each time. Cookies can be "first-party" (set by the site
4			you are visiting) or "third-party" (set by a service embedded in the site, such as an
5			analytics or advertising provider).</p> <p>Cookies have a set lifespan: "session cookies" expire when you close your browser, while
6			"persistent cookies" remain until they reach their expiry date or you manually delete them.</p> <h2>Cookies We Use</h2> <h3>1. Essential Cookies (First-Party)</h3> <p>These cookies are set by Acken Tools itself and are necessary for basic site functionality.</p> <table><thead><tr><th>Cookie</th><th>Purpose</th><th>Type</th><th>Expiry</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td><code>theme</code></td><td>Stores your light/dark mode preference so it persists between visits.</td><td>Persistent, First-party</td><td>1 year</td></tr></tbody></table> <p>The <code>theme</code> cookie contains only the string <code>light</code> or <code>dark</code>. It contains no personal information and is never transmitted to any
7			third party.</p> <h3>2. Analytics Cookies (Production Only)</h3> <p> <strong>not</strong> set on localhost, development, staging, or Cloudflare preview
8			deployments.</p> <table><thead><tr><th>Cookie</th><th>Purpose</th><th>Type</th><th>Expiry</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td><code>_ga</code></td><td>Google Analytics — registers a unique ID used to generate statistical data on how you use the site.</td><td>Persistent, Third-party</td><td>2 years</td></tr><tr><td><code>_ga_*</code></td><td>Google Analytics — used to persist session state between page requests.</td><td>Persistent, Third-party</td><td>2 years</td></tr></tbody></table> <p>Google Analytics data is anonymised and aggregated. It cannot be used to identify you
9			personally. We use this data only to understand which tools are most used and how to
10			improve the site.</p> <h3>3. Advertising Cookies (Production Only)</h3> <p>On our production site, we serve display advertisements through Google AdSense

11			(Publisher ID: pub-5476892481815940). Google AdSense uses cookies and similar
12			technologies to serve ads that are relevant to your interests, based on your browsing
13			history across websites. These cookies are set by Google, not by Acken Tools directly.</p> <p>Common AdSense-related cookies include:</p> <table><thead><tr><th>Cookie</th><th>Purpose</th><th>Type</th><th>Expiry</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td><code>IDE</code></td><td>Google DoubleClick — used to register and report actions after viewing or clicking an ad, for the purpose of measuring ad effectiveness.</td><td>Persistent, Third-party</td><td>1 year</td></tr><tr><td><code>test_cookie</code></td><td>Google — checks whether the user's browser supports cookies.</td><td>Session, Third-party</td><td>Session</td></tr></tbody></table> <p>You can opt out of personalised advertising at any time by visiting <a href="https://adssettings.google.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Google Ad Settings</a> or via the <a href="https://optout.aboutads.info" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Digital Advertising Alliance opt-out page</a>.</p> <h2>Managing and Deleting Cookies</h2> <p>You can control and delete cookies through your browser settings. Here is how to do it
14			in common browsers:</p> <ul><li><strong>Google Chrome:</strong> Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site
15				data → See all cookies and site data</li> <li><strong>Mozilla Firefox:</strong> Settings → Privacy &amp; Security → Cookies and Site
16				Data → Manage Data</li> <li><strong>Apple Safari:</strong> Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data</li> <li><strong>Microsoft Edge:</strong> Settings → Cookies and site permissions → Manage and
17				delete cookies and site data</li></ul> <p>Please note: blocking the <code>theme</code> cookie will mean your light/dark mode
18			preference is not saved between sessions. Blocking Google Analytics and AdSense cookies
19			will not prevent the site from functioning, but will limit Google's ability to serve
20			relevant ads.</p> <h2>Google Analytics Opt-Out</h2> <p>To opt out of Google Analytics tracking across all websites you visit, install the free <a href="https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on</a>.
21			This add-on instructs the Google Analytics JavaScript to prevent sending information to
22			Google Analytics servers.</p> <h2>Do Not Track</h2> <p>Some browsers have a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that signals to websites that you do
23			not want your activity tracked. There is currently no universally accepted standard for
24			how websites should respond to DNT signals. We load Google Analytics only on the
25			production domain and respect the Google Analytics opt-out mechanism described above.</p> <h2>Consent</h2> <p> </p> <h2>Changes to This Policy</h2> <p>We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page
26			with a revised "last updated" date. We encourage you to review this page periodically.</p> <h2>Contact</h2> <p>Questions about our use of cookies? Email us at <a> </a> or use the <a href="/contact">Contact page</a>.</p></article></div>`,1);function N(m,b){C(b,!1);const v=W({title:"Cookie Policy",description:"Cookie Policy for Acken Tools.
