Cookies

A cookie is a small file a website stores in your browser. Parafraz saves your measurement choice only after you choose. Advertising and traffic checks work separately, as explained below.

Your choice

Allow or decline measurement of the website’s advertising here. You can change your mind at any time; the line above the buttons shows what you chose. Every page reads the same whichever you pick.

What is stored

parafraz_stet

Set by Parafraz when you choose. It holds your measurement choice: 1 if you allowed it, 0 if you declined. The cookie lasts 12 months. A copy is kept in your browser’s local storage under the same name, so every page knows your choice. That copy has no end date: it stays until you clear this website’s site data or choose again.

Google’s advertising cookies

Set by Google’s tag, and only if you allow measurement. They measure the advertising that brings readers to Parafraz. Google lists them and how long they last in how Google uses cookies.

Banners and traffic checks

• The advertising spaces come from the advertising service’s own address. The service’s own banner code sets no cookies and writes nothing to browser storage.
• Some pages and advertising spaces also load a separate traffic-check script. Its provider describes how it handles browser information in Adscore’s privacy policy. The check, and whether a page takes you on to another page, do not depend on your measurement choice and do not read the Parafraz choice cookie. The privacy page explains both.

Removing them

Delete both the cookies and the site data for this website in your browser’s settings. Deleting the cookies alone keeps the copy in local storage, and your choice with it. Once both are gone, the next page you open asks for your choice again.
