Cookie Policy
Last updated: November 9, 2026
This page explains what cookies pairingplates.com uses, why, and how you can control them. It sits alongside the privacy policy, which describes the limited data the site handles overall.
What cookies are
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They let the site (and the services it uses) remember you across visits — for example, to measure how many people read a guide, or to show advertising relevant to what you have read before. Cookies on this site do not identify you by name, and we do not use them to collect personal information such as your email address.
Cookies this site uses
| Cookie type | Set by | What it does | When it applies |
|---|---|---|---|
| Analytics cookies | Google Analytics 4 | Measures aggregate traffic — page views, referrers, device types — so we can see which guides and tools people actually use. | On every visit, unless you opt out (see below). |
| Advertising cookies | Google and other third-party advertising vendors | Used to serve ads based on your prior visits to this site or other sites, and to measure how those ads perform. | Only when advertising is displayed on the site. No advertising cookies are set at this time; this row describes what will happen if advertising is introduced. |
Advertising cookies in detail
When advertising is displayed on this site, third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this site or other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to this site and/or other sites on the internet. You may opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. Alternatively, you can opt out of a third-party vendor's use of cookies for personalised advertising by visiting www.aboutads.info/choices.
How to control cookies
You can control cookies in your browser settings: most browsers let you block or delete cookies, including cookies already stored. Blocking analytics cookies will not break the site — the guides and tools work the same. You can also opt out of Google Analytics entirely with Google's official opt-out browser add-on.
- Google Ads Settings — opt out of personalised ads from Google.
- YourAdChoices (aboutads.info) — opt out of personalised ads from participating vendors.
- Google Analytics opt-out add-on — stop GA4 measurement in your browser.
Changes to this policy
If the cookies this site uses change — for example, if advertising is introduced — this page and the privacy policy will be updated, and the "last updated" date above will change.
