What ChorusWire stores today
ChorusWire currently uses your browser’s local storage for two functional purposes:
| Storage key | Purpose |
|---|---|
cw_theme |
Remembers your light or dark display choice. |
cw_consent |
Remembers your privacy choice so it is respected on later visits. |
Local storage is not the same as an HTTP cookie. These values stay in your browser on your device and are not sent to us with page requests. We do not currently pass them to any third-party service. They stay until you clear your browser data.
Analytics
ChorusWire uses Google Analytics 4 (measurement ID G-Q9N4RM5ZRT) to count visits and see which articles are read. It loads only if you click “Accept all” on the privacy prompt. If you choose “Reject non-essential”, it is not loaded and no analytics cookies are set. When it is on, Google Analytics may set cookies such as _ga and _ga_*, which last up to two years, and we turn on IP anonymization. You can opt out everywhere with the Google Analytics opt-out add-on.
Advertising
ChorusWire does not currently run advertising scripts, so no advertising cookies are set. The next section explains what would change if we turn them on.
Planned advertising services
ChorusWire plans to use Google AdSense to display advertisements. This service is not currently active. When enabled, Google and third-party advertising technology providers may use cookies and similar technologies to deliver, measure and improve ads, including serving ads based on your previous visits to ChorusWire or other websites.
These technologies and ad requests can involve information such as your IP address, browser and device information, page addresses, identifiers and your interactions with ads. This may be used for ad delivery, frequency limits, measurement, fraud prevention and, where your choices and applicable settings permit, personalized advertising.
Google explains how it uses information from sites that use its services at policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites. You can manage Google’s personalized ads at adssettings.google.com, and you can opt out of personalized advertising from participating companies at aboutads.info/choices. These tools control personalized advertising; you may still see non-personalized ads.
Before we show personalized ads to visitors in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom or Switzerland, we will use a Google-certified consent management platform and ask for your consent. If you choose “Reject non-essential”, we will not load advertising or analytics services for you. Analytics follows the same rule.
Change your choice
A Cookie settings link in the footer of every page will let you reopen the prompt and choose again. You can also clear this site’s data in your browser settings.
