What cookies and similar technologies are
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a site. Tags, pixels, and local storage entries can behave similarly by storing preferences or identifiers in your browser. Some technologies are set by us; others may be set by partners when you consent to optional categories.
We group tools into categories so you can choose analytics and marketing without losing basic functionality. You can revisit this page at any time to understand how each category works.
Strictly necessary
These items are required to deliver secure pages, remember your cookie consent state, and protect the service from abuse. They cannot be disabled through our banner without breaking core features. Necessary technologies may include session identifiers or security tokens with short lifetimes.
If you block all storage in your browser globally, you may need to reconfirm consent on every visit or lose access to forms.
Analytics
When you enable analytics, we may load scripts that collect aggregated usage statistics such as page views, scroll depth, or navigation paths. We configure these tools to reduce personal identifiers and to focus on trends rather than individuals.
Analytics helps us understand which editorial sections are clearer and where loading performance should improve. You can disable this category at any time through the cookie controls.
Marketing
When you enable marketing, we may measure campaign performance, attribute visits to referral links, or test creative variations. Advertising partners may set or read cookies or similar identifiers when this category is on, for purposes such as delivery reporting, approximate region, frequency caps, or conversion measurement. These activities support planning and budgeting without selling personal data.
Withdrawal of consent stops new marketing measurement from the point of save; some vendors may retain aggregated reports that do not identify you.
Local storage and consent records
We store your consent choices in localStorage on this domain so the banner does not interrupt every page load. The record may include timestamps and boolean flags for each category. Clearing site data for elbowsscrub.world removes these entries and resets the banner.
How long cookies last
Session cookies expire when you close the browser. Persistent cookies may last for a defined period set by the vendor, often between six and thirteen months for analytics. You can shorten effective lifetime by deleting cookies or using private browsing modes.
Managing your choices
Use the cookie banner on the site to accept all, reject optional categories, or open detailed settings. You can also adjust browser controls to block third-party cookies, delete stored data, or send a Do Not Track signal where supported. Some browsers provide per-site permissions that mirror our categories.
Updates
We revise this policy when we introduce new technologies or change categories. The date shown in the hero reflects your current visit day. Material changes will be summarized here in plain language.
