Cookie Policy
1. The short version
This website currently sets no cookies at all. It stores four small values in your browser’s local storage so that it can remember your choices between visits. Nothing is shared with an advertising network, and nothing is used to build a profile of you.
The rules that apply to cookies apply equally to any other storage on your device, so this page covers both.
2. Cookies
None are set today.
Analytics is built into the site but is switched off: no measurement account is configured, so no analytics script is loaded and no analytics cookie is created, whatever you choose in the banner. If that changes, this page and the banner will be updated before it does.
When analytics is switched on, it will be Google Analytics 4, and only after you have agreed to it. It would set the following:
| Name | Set by | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
_ga |
Distinguishes one visitor from another so that visit counts are not inflated. | 2 years | |
_ga_<ID> |
Keeps the state of the current visit for the same purpose. | 2 years |
Not in use today. The table is here so that the page is accurate the moment it is, rather than after the fact.
3. What we do store
These are stored by your own browser, on your own device. They never travel to us with a request the way a cookie does, and they stay until you clear your browser data.
| Name | Where | What it holds | Why |
|---|---|---|---|
makCookieConsent |
Every page | Your answer to the banner, and the date you gave it. | So the banner is not shown again, and so we can show that a choice was made. Required — without it we could not honour the choice. |
isLegal |
Home page | That you already answered the opening question. | So the opening sequence is not repeated on every visit. |
traderProfile |
Home page | Your answer to the trader-profile question, as yes or no. |
Aggregate statistics only. It is not linked to your name, it does not change what you can see, and access is not conditional on the answer. |
soundState |
Home page | Whether you muted the sound. | So your preference survives a reload. |
4. Changing your mind
You can change your choice at any time by clearing this site’s data in your browser, which removes all four values and brings the banner back on your next visit. Every browser has this under privacy or site settings, usually as “cookies and site data”.
Because the analytics option is currently inert, refusing it changes nothing about what is stored. Refusing the essential storage is not possible without also making the site unable to remember that you refused.
5. Third parties
The site loads fonts and script libraries that are needed to display the pages. It does not embed advertising, social-network buttons that track you, or third-party video players.
If that ever changes, this page will say so, and anything that requires your consent will ask for it before it loads.
6. Personal data and your rights
What is described here is explained further, together with the legal bases and your rights, in our Privacy Policy. Questions about either can go to support@makedgelab.com.
7. Changes
We update this page whenever what the site stores changes, and the effective date above moves with it.
