Cookie Policy

Effective date: 15 October 2025
Last updated: 16 October 2025

This Cookie Policy explains how Unboxd.Tech (“we”, “us”, “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies on our website and how you can control them via the Google AdSense consent banner (provided by Google’s Consent Management Platform).

If you have questions, contact us at contact@unboxd.tech.

What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device by your browser. They help websites remember your actions and preferences, measure usage, and keep things secure. We also use local storage and similar technologies; we refer to them collectively as “cookies.”

How we use cookies

We use cookies to:

  • Run essential site functions (security, load balancing, consent storage).
  • Remember preferences (e.g., dismissing notices).
  • Measure traffic and performance (analytics).
  • Show ads and cap ad frequency (advertising partners), based on your consent and local laws.

Categories of cookies

  1. Strictly necessary (always active)
    Required for the site to work and to protect against abuse. Example: Cloudflare security cookies; consent‑preference cookies from our banner.
  2. Preferences
    Remember settings like language or UI choices.
  3. Analytics
    Help us understand which pages are popular and how the site performs. We use Google Analytics 4 (GA4) with privacy safeguards (e.g., IP masking where applicable). Analytics may be limited or disabled when consent isn’t granted.
  4. Advertising
    Used by Google AdSense to deliver, measure, and limit ads and—where you consent—personalise them. Google’s Consent Mode may adjust how tags behave based on your choices.

Managing your choices

Consent banner (recommended):
On your first visit, we show a Google AdSense consent banner. You can Accept all, Reject non-essential, or Manage options.

You can change your decision any time by using the “Privacy & cookie settings”/“Ad choices” link or icon provided by the Google banner (typically shown on the page or in the footer). Reopening this control lets you update consent and opt-outs, including advertising personalisation.

Browser controls:
You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge). Blocking all cookies may break some features.

Do Not Sell or Share (California):
To opt out of cross-context behavioural advertising, use the “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” option within the Google AdSense banner’s settings. You can also email contact@unboxd.tech.

Legal bases

Where required (e.g., UK/EU), we set non-essential cookies only with your consent. Strictly necessary cookies are used to provide the service you request and to protect the site.

Retention

Cookies persist for their stated duration unless you clear them. Analytics and advertising data may be retained by Google according to their policies.

Updates

We may update this Cookie Policy to reflect changes in technology, law, or our practices. The “Last updated” date shows the latest revision.
