Cookie Policy

Effective Date: September 1, 2026  |  Last Updated: September 1, 2026

This Cookie Policy explains how StrandsHintToday.com ("we," "us," or "our") uses cookies and similar technologies on https://strandshinttoday.com/ (the "Website"). It should be read together with our Privacy Policy. Where required by applicable law, non-essential cookies (such as analytics and advertising cookies) are used only after you provide consent, and you can change or withdraw your choice at any time.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, to remember your preferences, and to provide information to the site's operators and third parties. Similar technologies include pixels, tags, and local storage. In this Policy, we refer to all of these as "cookies."

2. How We Use Cookies

We do not use cookies to collect directly identifying personal information such as your name or email address, and we do not set our own cookies to build profiles of visitors. The cookies used on the Website are set by the third-party services we use — Google Analytics and Google AdSense — to measure traffic and to display and measure advertising.

Note that some third-party cookies (such as Google Analytics cookies) are stored as "first-party" cookies on this domain even though they are created and read by third-party code. "First-party" therefore refers to where the cookie is stored, not to who processes the data.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

The table below lists representative examples of the cookies that may be set. The exact cookies, names, and durations depend on Google's current implementation and may change over time.

4. Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies are placed by third-party services that appear on the Website. In particular:

• Google Analytics — for aggregated website analytics. See google.com/privacy.
• Google AdSense — for advertising. Google and its partners may use cookies to serve ads based on your visits to this and other websites. See google.com/technologies/ads.

We do not control third-party cookies. Please refer to the relevant third party's own cookie and privacy policies for more information.

5. Managing and Disabling Cookies

You have several ways to control cookies:

• Browser settings: Most browsers let you view, delete, and block cookies through their settings. Note that blocking essential cookies may affect how the Website works.
• Google Analytics opt-out: Install the opt-out add-on at google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
• Advertising opt-out: Manage personalized advertising via google.com, optout.aboutads.info, or youronlinechoices.eu (Europe).
• Consent tool: Where a cookie consent banner or "Cookie Settings" control is provided on the Website, you can accept or reject non-essential cookies and change your choice at any time.

6. Consent (EEA, UK, and California)

If you are located in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or Switzerland, non-essential cookies (such as analytics and advertising cookies) are set only where we have a lawful basis to do so, which in most cases means your prior consent, collected through a consent management platform before such cookies are loaded. Because the Website uses Google AdSense, consent is managed in a manner intended to meet Google's consent requirements for these regions. You may withdraw consent at any time.

If you are a California resident, you may exercise choices regarding the "sharing" of personal information via cookies as described in our Privacy Policy, including through a Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal.

7. Changes to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, law, or our practices. Changes take effect when posted, as indicated by the "Last Updated" date above.
