Privacy Policy

inscryption.org loads Google Analytics 4 (G-WB3V28V1EC), Microsoft Clarity (project z88d3k8uvb) and Adsterra (publisher 3403020) by default, including on a first visit with no stored choice. The cookie banner informs you and offers Accept and Reject; Reject stops those three and is remembered for 180 days. YouTube loads only after you press play. Global Privacy Control and Do Not Track are treated as Reject.

What the pages load, and when

Google Analytics 4 uses measurement ID G-WB3V28V1EC. It requests www.googletagmanager.com and the regional google-analytics.com collection endpoints to count page views and basic events. Microsoft Clarity uses project z88d3k8uvb; it requests www.clarity.ms, scripts.clarity.ms and the regional clarity.ms collection endpoints for session recordings and heatmaps. Adsterra uses publisher 3403020 and website 6174218, with Native Banner unit 32085400 and Social Bar unit 32085401 served from bicea.org; adult ads are switched off in the placement settings.

These three load on the first paint, before you press anything. The banner is an information and withdrawal control, not a gate: with no stored choice the page treats the visit as granted and starts the requests. Reject turns them off, Accept turns them back on, and either choice is stored for 180 days. The Adsterra delivery chain can also request creative and measurement hosts including static.nresystems.com, cdn.show-sb.com, cdn.show-creative1.com and cdn.cloudpiko.com; those requests stop after Reject.

YouTube is the only other third party. Its player is inserted from youtube-nocookie.com only after you press the play button on a video card, and Google’s privacy policy then applies to that player. Fonts and images are files on this domain. There is no tag manager, no session-replay vendor other than Clarity, no AdSense, and no popunder or Smartlink format on this site.

Cookies and local storage

GA4 can set _ga and _ga_<measurement-id> cookies to distinguish browsers; Google documents a default two-year cookie expiry. The actual expiry can change with browser limits and vendor configuration. This site sends no account identifiers. Clarity documents _clck and _clsk cookies and may use additional Microsoft cookies for its service. Clarity documents 30-day playback retention and longer retention for aggregated click data; its current cookie list and retention documentation are linked in Sources. We have not independently measured vendor-side retention for this project.

Adsterra and its demand partners can set cookies and similar identifiers from bicea.org and from the creative hosts named above. Their names and lifetimes vary by creative, country and demand partner; this site has no verified maximum lifetime to publish. They are used for frequency capping, fraud prevention, aggregate measurement and, where you have not objected, personalised advertising.

This site itself stores two keys in localStorage. The key inscryption_consent holds your choice, a timestamp and an expiry, and lasts 180 days. The key inscryption-socialbar-closed remembers that you closed the fixed Social Bar, and also lasts 180 days. There is no first-party account, no email list and no other local storage key on these pages.

Legal basis, default loading, and withdrawal

The site starts analytics, advertising and recording requests by default, before a visitor makes a choice. This is the actual loading behavior. The banner records Accept or Reject; Reject stores a denied choice for 180 days and reloads this page to stop the previously loaded vendor scripts and their timers.

Reject sets Google’s ga-disable flag for G-WB3V28V1EC, updates all four consent signals to denied, sends Clarity a withdrawal, and reloads the document. The new document prevents Clarity and Adsterra requests and disables GA4 collection before config. The Google tag library can still be downloaded; it is disabled for collection. Accept reverses that and loads the three again. The footer’s Cookie settings link reopens the banner so you can change your mind at any time.

Global Privacy Control and Do Not Track are treated the same as Reject: the page records denied and does not start Clarity or Adsterra. If your browser blocks local storage, the choice lasts for the current page only.

Personalised advertising and opt-out links

You can object to personalised advertising without leaving this site: press Reject in the banner, or use Cookie settings in the footer. You can also use the industry controls at https://adssettings.google.com/ , https://optout.aboutads.info/ , https://www.youronlinechoices.com/ and https://www.networkadvertising.org/choices/ . Adsterra’s own privacy policy is at https://adsterra.com/privacy-policy/ . Opting out of personalisation does not necessarily stop every ad request; it stops the use of your data for targeted advertising.

This site does not sell personal information, does not run a data broker feed, and does not use ad formats that open popups or new windows.

Retention, rights, and changes

The inscryption_consent and inscryption-socialbar-closed keys expire after 180 days, or sooner if you clear site data. Vendor cookies follow the lifetimes above. You can email [email protected] to ask what this policy means, to request a copy or correction of personal information you sent me by email, or to object to processing. Mail you send is kept long enough to answer and to keep a correction log.

I will change this policy on this page and update the date whenever a third party is added or removed. Any new network will be named here, with its purpose and cookie names, before its script ships. The current list is the one the pages actually load: Google Analytics 4, Microsoft Clarity, Adsterra, and YouTube after a click.
