Consent and browser storage
The banner is shown on a first visit when no saved choice exists. Consent Mode v2 defaults ad_storage, ad_user_data, and ad_personalization to denied and analytics_storage to granted before vendor configuration. With no valid saved rejection, the loader updates the advertising signals to granted and requests Google Analytics 4, Microsoft Clarity, and Adsterra by default. Reject stops active vendor scripts, records denied, and prevents those services from loading on later page views for 180 days. Cookie settings in the footer reopens the banner. Global Privacy Control is treated as a rejection.
This site stores hoof_consent and its expiry, plus hoof_socialbar_closed when the Social Bar is closed, in local storage for 180 days. These first-party records do not leave the browser. Google Analytics, Clarity, YouTube after playback, and Adsterra may use identifiers or cookies on their own domains. Ads data redaction is enabled for the Google tag. An already requested resource can remain active until the page reloads.
Rights and contact
You can ask for a copy of mail you sent us, a correction, or deletion by emailing [email protected]. You can withdraw the saved choice with Cookie settings in the footer, then Reject. We post policy changes on this page and update its date.
