Cookies are small files a website stores in your browser. Local storage is a similar browser feature.
What this site stores itself
- Local storage key "theme": remembers light or dark mode if you change it. It stays in your browser and is not sent to us.
The tools and pages work without any cookies.
Analytics cookies (Google Analytics 4)
Google Analytics sets two first-party cookies on mycurrentelevation.org: _ga, which tells visits from different browsers apart, and _ga_ followed by a code for this site, which keeps track of the current visit. By default both last up to 2 years. In the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland they are set only after you accept in Google's consent message. See Google Analytics cookie usage on websites.
Advertising cookies (Google AdSense)
On the public site, ads are served by Google AdSense. Google and its partners can set or read cookies and similar identifiers to deliver ads, cap how often you see them, prevent fraud, measure performance and, where permitted, personalize ads. Ads load only when an ad space scrolls near the screen.
In the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland, a consent message from Google asks for your choice before advertising cookies are set or personalized ads are shown. Google runs this message through AdSense Privacy & messaging (a consent management platform certified under the IAB Transparency and Consent Framework), and Google stores your choice; this site has no consent banner of its own. You can change your choice later from the privacy settings link the message adds to the page. Elsewhere you can opt out of personalized ads at Google Ad Settings or optout.aboutads.info.
