Cookie and cache policy
Cookie and cache policy
This page says what slicekey.com stores in a browser, and what it stores only on the server. A cookie is a small file the browser keeps at a site’s request. A server cache is a copy of a page kept on the host so the next reader can be sent that copy. They are not the same thing.
What the site sets when you read
Reading a guide does not require an account, and the public pages do not show a comment form. The site does not set an analytics cookie of its own.
Editors who sign in to the publishing system get the ordinary WordPress login cookies. Those cookies are for the signed-in editor, not for a reader.
Advertising cookies
Public pages load Google Ad Manager advertisements. Google may set advertising cookies. After a reader finishes a rewarded advertisement, this site may set tos_access=1 for six hours so full-screen ads stay off; display ads and the top anchor can still show. About, Contact, Safety, Privacy, this page, Disclaimer, and Terms do not load GAM or other ad code. Third-party vendors, including Google, may use cookies to serve ads based on the reader’s earlier visits to this site or to other sites. Google’s advertising cookies allow Google and its partners to show ads based on those visits.
A reader can turn off personalized ads at https://adssettings.google.com or opt out of some third-party cookies at https://www.aboutads.info/choices/. How Google uses data when you use our partners’ sites or apps explains Google’s side of this. The Privacy page is the full disclosure. No ad vendor other than Google is named, because no other ad vendor is used.
About, Contact, Safety, Privacy, this page, Disclaimer, and Terms do not carry ads.
The server cache
The host may keep a finished copy of a public page and send that copy to the next visitor. That copy lives on the server. It is not a cookie on the reader’s computer, and it does not identify the reader. A page address with a query string is fetched fresh rather than from that copy.
The reader’s own browser can also keep a copy. Reloading the page is the reader’s control for that.
Consent
A cookie policy does not, by itself, collect consent from readers in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or Switzerland. That consent, when advertising requires it, is handled in the advertising account, not by the existence of this page.
