This policy explains which cookies and similar technologies almanacstats.com uses and how you can control them. It complements our Privacy Policy.
1. Cookies and similar technologies
A cookie is a small text file that a website stores in your browser. Local storage is a similar browser feature that keeps data on your device. This policy covers both.
Under EU rules (Article 5(3) of the ePrivacy Directive 2002/58/EC and the national laws that implement it), a website may store or read such data on your device without your consent only if this is strictly necessary for a service you have asked for. For everything else we ask for your consent first.
2. Categories
- Strictly necessary (always active)
- Remember your cookie choice and the interface language you selected. They are needed to provide what you asked for, so they do not need consent.
- Analytics (off until you accept)
- Google Analytics 4 helps us understand how the site is used. It is loaded only if you accept the "Analytics" category in the cookie banner.
We do not use advertising, social media or other tracking cookies.
3. Cookies and storage on this site
| Name | Type | Provider | Purpose | Category | Expiry |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
almanacstats_consent | Cookie | AlmanacStats | Stores your cookie choice | Strictly necessary | 12 months |
acb_consent_v1 | Local storage | AlmanacStats | Stores the same choice in your browser | Strictly necessary | 12 months, then you are asked again |
as_lang | Local storage | AlmanacStats | Remembers the interface language you chose | Strictly necessary | Until you clear site data |
_ga | Cookie | Google Analytics | Distinguishes visitors for usage statistics | Analytics (only with consent) | 13 months |
_ga_6BV77M083S | Cookie | Google Analytics | Keeps the state of your visit for usage statistics | Analytics (only with consent) | 13 months |
The Google Analytics cookies are set on the almanacstats.com domain by Google's script, and the usage data is sent to Google. The provider is Google Ireland Limited, with possible transfers to Google LLC in the USA under the EU–US Data Privacy Framework. Details are in the Privacy Policy.
4. Cloudflare Web Analytics
All pages also use Cloudflare Web Analytics, which counts visits without cookies and only gives us aggregate statistics, such as views per page. It is based on our legitimate interest in understanding how the site is used (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) and does not need your consent.
5. How to change your choice
You make your choice in the cookie banner on your first visit. You can change it or withdraw your consent at any time with the Cookie settings button at the bottom of every page, or with this button:
When you withdraw consent, Google Analytics stops and the site deletes its _ga cookies from your browser. If your browser sends a Global Privacy Control signal, Analytics stays off. We keep your choice for 12 months and then ask again.
You can also delete cookies and site data in your browser settings, or block cookies altogether. If you block the strictly necessary storage, the site cannot remember your choice and will show the banner again.
6. Changes
We update this policy when we add or remove cookies or change how we use them. The date at the top shows when it was last updated.
