This policy explains cookies and browser storage on Elegant Matter. It complements our Privacy Policy.
Your choice
Essential storage supports site functions and remembers your privacy choices. Google Analytics is optional and loads only after you allow Statistics. Rejecting analytics does not prevent you from reading articles or using our tools.
Use Cookie settings to change or withdraw your choice at any time. Withdrawal stops future analytics collection; it does not automatically erase information already processed. Contact us if you want to exercise your data-protection rights.
To reopen your choices, select Cookie settings in the footer of any page.
Essential cookies and storage
Complianz stores your cookie preferences in first-party cookies whose names begin with cmplz_. They record your choices, the policy version and whether the banner has been dismissed. They are used to apply your preferences rather than measure your browsing for advertising. The current consent-cookie expiration setting is 365 days; cookies can be removed sooner through your browser settings.
WordPress and our security tools may use additional technical cookies when you sign in or use administration features. Administrator preferences are not evidence that ordinary visitors receive those cookies.
Storage used by our tools
URL Cleaner can save cleaning preferences and custom parameter rules in your browser’s localStorage. This does not contain the original or cleaned URLs and does not create a persistent URL history. Saved preferences remain until you reset them, clear site data or your browser removes them.
Other tool inputs are processed as explained on the tool page and in our Privacy Policy. Optional analytics does not need the contents of files, pasted text, URLs you clean, clipboard contents or contact messages.
Optional Google Analytics cookies
With Statistics consent, Google Analytics measures visits and interactions such as scrolling and file downloads. Its first-party _ga cookie distinguishes browsers, and _ga_CPM05G461H maintains session state. Google documents a default expiration of two years for both; browser restrictions and deletion can shorten their lifetime. Cookie expiration is separate from Analytics event-data retention.
We do not use advertising cookies or Google Ads on this site. See the Privacy Policy for the data processed, legal basis, retention and international transfers.
Managing storage in your browser
You can inspect or delete cookies and local storage through your browser’s site settings. Clearing site data may reset your cookie choices and tool preferences. Blocking all storage can affect essential functions; rejecting optional Statistics does not.
