What loads, and why
| Name | Purpose | When it runs | Storage |
|---|---|---|---|
| This site | Show the page you asked for | Every request | No account. No first-party cookie is set by our pages. |
| Cloudflare | Host and secure the static site; route contact email to our mailbox | Page requests on the deployed site; email sent to our contact address | Cloudflare processes request metadata such as IP addresses and delivery logs. Email Routing forwards message contents. |
| Google / Gmail | Receive contact email forwarded by Cloudflare Email Routing | Only when you email our contact address; visiting the site does not load Gmail | The configured destination is a Gmail mailbox. Google processes the message, sender address and attachments. We retain correspondence only while needed for your request. |
| samm_consent | Remember Accept or Reject | After you choose. GPC or Do Not Track also forces denied without needing a stored choice. | localStorage key samm_consent. Value is JSON with choice and timestamp t. Valid for 180 days from your choice; ordinary visits do not extend expiry. |
| Google Analytics 4 | Count page views and engagement so we know which guides are read. Loaded as the Google tag (gtag.js) from www.googletagmanager.com; measurements go to google-analytics.com. | The tag file loads on every page. Until you Accept, analytics_storage stays denied and only cookieless pings are sent. After Accept the tag sets first-party _ga cookies and records visits. | Consent Mode v2 with ads_data_redaction. Before Accept: no analytics cookie and no identifier. After Accept: _ga and _ga_* cookies, up to 2 years. Reports are held in our GA4 property 558240896 / stream 16095228910. Reject or a GPC/Do Not Track signal forces denied again. |
| Microsoft Clarity | Heatmaps and session recordings so we can see which parts of a guide are read, skipped or confusing. The loader comes from www.clarity.ms and the SDK from scripts.clarity.ms; session data is sent to a clarity.ms collect endpoint. | Only after you Accept. No other state requests the loader, so Reject, GPC and Do Not Track never start it. | After Accept: the _clck cookie (visitor id, about one year) and the _clsk cookie (session id, about one day), plus the session recording itself. Clarity masks typed input and sensitive content by default. |
| Adsterra | Serve the display advertising that pays for the guide. It is the only advertising network on this domain: the Native Banner renders inside the page and the floating Social Bar is served by the same network. Both loaders come from bicea.org. Adult ads are switched off for this domain in the Adsterra dashboard, so no adult creative is ordered. | Only after you Accept. Both |
