Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, which cookies macdetect.com 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 allow a site to remember information about your visit, such as your preferences or login state, and to recognize your browser on later visits.

Cookies we use

Essential cookies are needed for the site to work correctly. We use md_theme to remember your chosen light/dark theme, md_lang to remember your preferred language, and md_admin to maintain an authenticated session for site administration. These cookies do not track you across other websites and cannot be disabled without affecting how the site behaves for you.

Analytics cookies are set by Google Analytics (for example, cookies such as _ga and related variants) to help us understand how visitors use the site — which pages and tools are viewed, and how often. This information is aggregated and used to improve the Service.

Advertising cookies are set by Google AdSense to display and measure the advertising shown on this site. These cookies may be used by Google and its advertising partners to show ads that are more relevant to you, based on your visits to this and other websites.

Third-party cookies

Some cookies on this site are placed by third parties, namely Google (for Google Analytics and Google AdSense). We do not control these cookies directly; they are governed by the respective third party's own cookie and privacy policies. We encourage you to review Google's policies for more detail on how it uses cookies and data.

How to control or disable cookies

Most web browsers let you view, manage, delete, and block cookies for a website through their settings. You can typically find these controls under your browser's "Privacy" or "Site settings" menu. Blocking essential cookies may mean some parts of the site, such as remembered theme or language preferences, will not work as expected.

You can also opt out of personalized advertising through Google's Ads Settings, and browser extensions are available that block third-party analytics and advertising cookies if you prefer not to be tracked for these purposes.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use or for legal or operational reasons. We encourage you to check back periodically.
