This cookie policy explains how askng.it uses cookies and similar technologies on our website, and lists every one of them. Only the essentials are set when you arrive. Nothing else runs unless you choose "Accept all cookies" in the banner, and you can change your mind at any time by clearing this site's data in your browser.

1. What are cookies

Cookies are small text files stored on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile) when you visit our website. They help us provide you with a better experience by:

Remembering your preferences and settings
Understanding how you use our website
Improving website performance and functionality
Delivering relevant content and advertisements

2. Types of cookies we use

Essential — always on

Needed for the site to work and to remember the cookie choice you make. These are set by askng.it only and are never used to track you.

cookie-consent (local storage, your cookie choice, kept until you clear it)

Analytics — only if you accept

Lets us count visits and see which pages people read, so we know what is worth writing. Two things run, and only after you accept:

Google Analytics 4 — page views and aggregate traffic reporting. Sets its own cookies (_ga, _ga_*) and is provided by Google Ireland Limited.
Our own visit log — one record for the first page of your session, holding a random session identifier, the page path, the referring address, your country and region, and whether the request looks automated. It does not store your IP address or your browser's user-agent string. The random session identifier is kept in session storage and disappears when you close the tab.

Advertising and visitor identification — none

We run no advertising, remarketing or cross-site tracking cookies, and no business-to-business visitor identification services. We do not sell or share website data with anyone for their own purposes.

3. Managing cookies

You have several options to control and manage cookies:

Browser settings: Most browsers allow you to refuse or accept cookies through settings
Cookie preferences: Use our cookie consent banner to manage your preferences
Opt-out tools: Use industry opt-out tools for advertising cookies

Note: Disabling essential cookies may affect website functionality and your ability to use certain features.

4. Third-party cookies

One third party is involved, and only after you accept analytics cookies:

Google Analytics 4 (Google Ireland Limited) — aggregate website analytics. See Google's own privacy notice for how they handle it.

Our own visit log is processed by us, stored in our database in the European Union, and passes through Cloudflare as the network provider in front of the site. Nobody else receives website data from us.

5. How long things are kept

Your cookie choice: stored on your device until you clear this site's data
Session identifier: deleted when you close the tab
Our visit log: deleted after 90 days
Google Analytics cookies: up to two years, per Google's defaults

6. Updates to this policy

We may update this cookie policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for legal, operational, or regulatory reasons. The "Last updated" date at the top indicates when this policy was last revised.
