This page describes the site's implemented analytics choice and distinguishes it from tracking on external services. It accompanies the Privacy Policy.
Your analytics choice
The site stores accepted or rejected under the cookie-consent local-storage key in this browser. This is local storage, not a cookie named cookie_consent. The implementation sets no expiry date for this key; it remains until browser storage is cleared or the choice changes. If storage is unavailable, the choice applies to the current page and may be requested again on navigation.
- Before a choice or after Reject: the site's optional Google Analytics script is not loaded on a new page.
- After Accept: the configured Google Analytics script may load to measure site use. Acceptance does not control an affiliate destination or a merchant site.
- Changing a choice: use Cookie settings, then Accept or Reject. Reject disables further Google Analytics collection on the current page and prevents loading on subsequent pages when the choice can be saved. It does not undo data already transmitted or remove cookies that already exist.
You can clear this site's cookies and local storage in your browser's site-data settings. Clearing local storage also removes the saved choice. Blocking storage may change how preferences persist; reading the articles does not require accepting optional analytics.
What is known about storage
The local-storage key above is directly used by this site's consent component. Google Analytics and other external services may use their own cookies or identifiers when loaded or visited. Their exact names, lifetimes and account settings should not be inferred from a generic cookie list. The previous table of session_id, theme/language preference cookies and fixed analytics lifetimes was not supported by an inspected implementation inventory and has been removed.
Google describes its analytics controls in Manage privacy settings. Its processing is covered by Google's privacy policy. This page does not claim that analytics data is anonymous or certify a particular retention setting.
Affiliate links and purchases
A provider may attribute a referral through link parameters, a cookie or a signed-in account. Its rules and retention periods apply after you visit that provider. Reject on this site cannot prevent tracking by another website you choose to open. Visit the provider directly if you prefer not to follow our referral link, and review its privacy and offer terms separately.
Hosting and other information
An analytics rejection is not a promise that no information is processed. Delivering a web page requires network requests; hosting logs, an email you send and a purchase made at an external merchant are separate from this optional analytics loader. See the Privacy Policy for the broader description and contact contact@ghost-empire.com with a question. Do not include passwords or other secrets.
