What loads, and when
| Name | Purpose | When it loads | What it can store |
|---|---|---|---|
| Google Analytics 4 (G-GM2EQ5PD7C) | Count page views and show which pages are read | By default, on every page | First-party cookies _ga and a per-property _ga_* cookie; expiry is controlled by Google and the property configuration |
| Microsoft Clarity (project zd2piq6xq1) | Heat maps and session replays | By default, on every page | First-party cookies _clck and _clsk; recordings normally 30 days, selected recordings and heatmaps up to 9 months |
| Adsterra (publisher 3403020) | Serve the Native Banner and the fixed Social Bar | By default, on every page | Adsterra cookies on its own domains for its own retention period; this site stores social-bar-closed for 180 days |
| YouTube (youtube-nocookie.com and youtube-.com) | Play a cutscene reel | Only after you press play | YouTube may set its own cookies once the frame loads |
| This site | Remember your choice and a closed Social Bar | On each visit, in the browser only | Browser storage keys pr_consent (180 days) and social-bar-closed (180 days) |
The network hosts observed on the local build were www.googletagmanager.com and www.google-analytics.com (Google), www.clarity.ms, scripts.clarity.ms and letter-prefixed collection subdomains of clarity.ms (Clarity), and bicea.org (Adsterra). Ad creatives can request additional network hosts. The only keys this site writes itself are pr_consent, which holds your choice plus an expiry time and a version marker, and social-bar-closed, which remembers that you closed the floating bar. Both live in browser storage, carry a 180-day expiry, and are not sent to a server by this page. Reject writes “denied”; Accept writes “granted”. The Social Bar close button writes social-bar-closed so the bar stays gone on the next page view and the next visit.
Default load, and how to withdraw
Google Analytics 4, Microsoft Clarity and Adsterra load by default, before you touch the banner. The banner is a notice with two buttons, not a gate: it explains what runs and lets you withdraw. Reject stops GA4, Clarity and Adsterra on this device, removes the ad frames already created, and stores “denied” for 180 days so the next page view starts without them. Accept keeps them on. Cookie settings in the footer reopens the banner at any time. If your browser sends Global Privacy Control or Do Not Track, the page treats that as Reject without asking.
Legal basis and retention
GA4 event retention depends on the property setting; this guide has not established a public retention value. Clarity normally retains recordings for 30 days and retains selected recordings and heatmaps for up to 9 months. Adsterra keeps its own logs under its privacy policy. The pr_consent and social-bar-closed keys expire after 180 days, after which the banner asks again. Emails you send are kept long enough to answer and then deleted. We do not sell personal information.
Personalized advertising and opt-outs
The ad units on this page are requested without an adult flag. Where a network still personalizes, you can turn personalized advertising off across the web at Google Ads Settings (https://adssettings.google.com/), the Digital Advertising Alliance opt-out page (https://optout.aboutads.info/), or YourAdChoices (https://youradchoices.com/). Adsterra’s own privacy policy is at https://adsterra.com/privacy-policy/. Microsoft’s privacy statement is at https://privacy.microsoft.com/.
Your choices
- Press Reject on the banner, or use Cookie settings in the footer, to turn analytics, session recording and ads off and remember that choice for 180 days.
- Clear site data in your browser to delete pr_consent and social-bar-closed, and the vendors’ cookies with them.
- Email [email protected] to access, correct, or delete a message you sent us, or to object to how we handle it.
- You may lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.
The guide is not aimed at children. We do not knowingly collect a child’s information. If a message includes that, email us and we will delete it.
When a later version of the site adds another third party, this page will name the company, the purpose, the cookie names and the retention before that script ships. The Updated date at the top is the change log.
Questions people ask
Do ads load before I click Accept?
Yes. Google Analytics 4, Microsoft Clarity and Adsterra load by default. The banner tells you so and gives you Reject; pressing it turns all three off and remembers the choice for 180 days.
What happens if I press Reject?
The page stops GA4, Clarity and Adsterra, removes the ad frames already on the page, and stores “denied” for 180 days. The next page view starts without them.
Which cookies does the site set itself?
Two browser keys: pr_consent (your choice, 180 days) and social-bar-closed (the floating bar was closed, 180 days). Analytics and ad cookies belong to Google, Microsoft and Adsterra.
Does the video track me before I click?
No. The play button shows a picture from this site. YouTube loads only after the click.
