Cookie Policy

About This Policy

This policy explains when GhostFont.org and its service providers use cookies, local storage, and similar browser technologies. It should be read with the Privacy Policy.

A cookie is a small value associated with a website request. Local storage is browser storage that remains on a device until it is cleared. Web beacons and similar identifiers can record that a resource or advertisement was loaded.

Current Essential and Preference Storage

Technology	When it is used	Purpose
Cloudflare security or availability cookies	When Cloudflare determines they are needed for security, abuse prevention, or service delivery	Distinguish legitimate requests, apply security controls, and keep the site available. Names and duration can vary by Cloudflare service and event.
theme local-storage value	When a visitor chooses or uses a display theme	Remember light, dark, or system appearance on the same browser. This is local storage, not an advertising cookie.
Analytics-consent local-storage value	When a visitor accepts or refuses statistics through the regional prompt or footer settings	Remember that statistics choice in the same browser. It does not contain the phrase entered into Ghost Font.

These technologies do not store the phrase typed into the public Ghost Font experience. The phrase and locally recorded video remain in browser memory or in the visitor's chosen download location.

Google Analytics

GhostFont.org uses Google Analytics for basic aggregate page statistics on approved public production pages. The Google tag loads independently of Google AdSense and Google Privacy & Messaging. Advertising storage, advertising user data, and advertising personalization remain denied worldwide in the current implementation.

For visitors in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or Switzerland, Analytics storage defaults to denied. The same fail-safe default applies when the visitor's region cannot be determined. Before a visitor accepts statistics, Google receives cookieless page-view measurements and the site does not permit Analytics cookies such as _ga or _ga_* to be read or written. Accepting statistics changes Analytics storage to granted, after which Google Analytics may use those cookies to distinguish visits. Refusing or withdrawing the choice leaves Analytics storage denied.

For visitors outside those regions, Analytics storage defaults to granted, so Google Analytics may use Analytics cookies unless they are blocked by the browser or another privacy control. If advertising is enabled in the future, a certified advertising consent platform may manage the three advertising-related signals under an updated policy and implementation. It will not decide the site's regional Analytics-storage choice.

GhostFont.org reports only the six current public HTML routes without query strings or fragments and reduces the referrer to its origin. Disabled routes, error pages, and unknown paths are excluded. The site does not intentionally send the phrase entered in the motion experiment or contact-message contents as Analytics event parameters.

Google explains this processing in How Google uses information from sites or apps that use its services.

Future Google AdSense Cookies and Similar Technologies

GhostFont.org may add Google AdSense in the future. If it does, Google and other third-party vendors may place or read advertising cookies, use web beacons, process IP addresses and other identifiers, and receive page or ad-interaction information. These technologies may be used to serve, limit, personalize, and measure ads, subject to the site's configuration, location-specific rules, and available user choices.

Visitors can manage Google advertising personalization through Google Ads Settings and read more in Google's advertising technologies policy. This is a conditional disclosure for a possible future integration; it does not mean that the phrase typed into Ghost Font will be sent to an advertiser.

Managing Browser Storage

Most browsers allow visitors to inspect, delete, or block cookies and local storage. Browser privacy or content-blocking tools may also restrict Analytics or future advertising technologies. Clearing local storage resets the saved theme and Analytics-consent choice.

Controls for Google advertising, if AdSense is enabled, are also available at Google Ads Settings. Browser controls and provider controls operate independently of GhostFont.org.

Visitors in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, Switzerland, or an unidentified region receive a prompt to accept or refuse statistics. Every visitor can use the site's Privacy & cookie settings control to review or change the Analytics choice. That choice is saved in local storage on the same browser. Withdrawing changes Analytics storage to denied for future measurement. Browser settings can be used separately to remove any Analytics cookies already stored on the device.

If Google Privacy & Messaging is active and its advertising consent API is ready, the same settings panel also links to separate advertising privacy choices. Browser or content-blocking controls can independently block Google Analytics requests.

Changes and Contact

This policy will be updated when active storage technologies or advertising providers materially change. Questions can be sent to contact@ghostfont.org.
