Cookie policy

Trust page

Every cookie Cover Route sets, why it's set, and how long it lasts.

A cookie is a small text file stored in your browser. Cover Route uses cookies for two things: remembering your consent choice, and (with your consent) measuring aggregate site usage.

Consent Mode v2

Even when analytics or advertising cookies are declined, Google's tag still sends a small "consent state" ping. This ping contains no identifiers and no browsing data — it exists so Google can statistically model aggregate conversion counts for advertisers without setting cookies for individual users. If you'd like to block that too, use a browser-level tracker blocker (uBlock Origin or the equivalent).

Third-party cookies

Cover Route pages don't embed any third-party widgets (no YouTube, no Twitter, no Facebook pixels, no chat widgets). Google Analytics operates from a Google-owned domain; only Google itself can read those cookies.

Cookies set after you click an affiliate link

Some links to providers are affiliate links through Awin or Paid On Results. If you click one, that network sets a tracking cookie on its own domain as it forwards you to the provider, so the provider can attribute a purchase to the click. Cover Route doesn't set or read these cookies; the network's own cookie policy applies. No affiliate cookie is set unless you click an affiliate link. See How we make money.

Changing your choice

Click "Cookie preferences" in the bottom-left of any page to re-open the consent banner. Choosing "Reject non-essential" or clearing your browser cookies will remove the analytics cookies — the cr_consent cookie will be recreated on your next choice.
