Cookie Policy

Last updated: September 2026

This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, which ones Hidden Ribbon uses, and how you can control them. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.

What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your device when you visit it. They let a site remember things between page views or visits — like a preference you set, or that you're the same visitor who saw a page earlier — and they're also the main way advertisers measure and personalize ads across the web.

The types of cookies we use

• Essential cookies — needed for the site's basic functionality, such as remembering that you opened the mobile menu.
• Analytics cookies — help us understand, in aggregate, which pages get read and how people generally move through the site. We don't currently have an analytics tool installed; if we add one, it will be listed here by name.
• Advertising cookies — placed by our advertising partner, Google, to serve ads and, where permitted, to personalize them based on your browsing activity across sites. These are set and controlled by Google, not by us directly.

Third-party cookies

We use Google AdSense to display advertising on this site. Google may set its own cookies (including the DoubleClick cookie) when you view a page here, in line with Google's own policy on how it uses information from sites that use its services.

How to control cookies

Most browsers let you see, delete, and block cookies through their settings. Since the exact steps vary, these general resources can help:

• aboutcookies.org — browser-by-browser instructions for managing cookies.
• Google Ads Settings — control how Google personalizes ads shown to you.
• Your Online Choices (EU) — opt out of interest-based advertising from participating companies.

Blocking all cookies may affect how some parts of the site work, though the core content will still be readable without them.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Cookie Policy as the site changes — for example, if we add an analytics tool or a new advertising partner. Check back here for the current version.
