Cookie Policy
This policy explains what this website stores in your browser, why it stores it, and how you change your choice. In this policy, “we” refers to TechyTrade FZ LLC, and “the site” means this website.
The site uses two kinds of browser storage: cookies, which the browser sends back to a server, and local storage, which stays in the browser. This policy covers both.
The site sets no analytics cookie until you accept analytics. Before you answer, the site stores nothing and sends nothing to Google.
Strictly necessary storage
The site stores one item that you cannot switch off: your own answer to the cookie banner. Without it the banner cannot remember your choice, and it would ask you again on every page.
This item is local storage, not a cookie. Your browser never sends it to us or to any other server.
- Name: mindwave-consent
- Purpose: records whether you accepted or declined analytics, and the date and time of that answer
- Duration: it stays until you clear the site data in your browser, or until you change your answer
- Set by: this site
Analytics
We use Google Analytics 4 to count visits and to see which pages people read. Google Analytics runs under Google Consent Mode v2. Every consent signal starts at “denied”, and the Google Analytics tag does not load until you accept. If you decline, or if you do not answer, no Google Analytics cookie is set and no request goes to Google.
If you accept, Google Analytics sets the following cookies in your browser.
- _ga — tells one browser apart from another so that repeat visits are not counted twice. Duration: 2 years.
- _ga_<measurement ID> — holds the state of your visit for the Google Analytics property that measures this site. Duration: 2 years.
What analytics does not do
We do not run advertising on this site. The advertising consent signals stay at “denied” in every case, so Google Analytics does not build an advertising profile from your visit.
We do not sell the analytics data, and we do not use it to identify you by name.
The editor tool at /studio
The News pages are written in a content tool called Sanity Studio. It is built into the site at the address /studio, and only our editors use it.
An editor must sign in to use the Studio. The sign-in sets cookies and browser storage that keep that editor signed in. This applies to the signed-in editor only. If you visit the site as a reader, you never sign in, so the Studio stores nothing in your browser.
How to change your choice
You can change your answer at any time. Select “Cookie settings” at the bottom of any page. The cookie banner opens again, and you can accept or decline.
If you decline after you accepted, the site stops loading Google Analytics. Cookies that Google Analytics has already set stay in your browser until they expire. To remove them at once, clear the site data in your browser settings.
You can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings. The site works without them.
Changes to this policy
We update this policy when the site changes what it stores. Read this page again to see the current list.
