Cookie Policy
Last updated:
This page lists every cookie and similar browser storage used on nicksty.com. Without your consent Nicksty sets no cookies; Google Analytics cookies are only set after you accept analytics.
Cookies and similar technologies
Cookies are small files a website stores in your browser. Similar technologies work the same way: localStorage and sessionStorage keep small values in your browser, and Cache Storage, used by our service worker, keeps copies of pages for offline use. This policy covers all of them.
Necessary storage (no consent needed)
These entries stay on your device and are never sent to us. They make the site work or remember a setting you chose yourself, so the law allows them without consent.
| Name | Type | Provider | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| nicksty:consent | localStorage | Nicksty | Remembers your cookie choice | 12 months, then asked again |
| sekilli:copy-sound | localStorage | Nicksty | Remembers whether you turned the copy sound on | Until you clear site data |
| sekilli:cps-best:<seconds> | localStorage | Nicksty | Saves your best score in each CPS test mode | Until you clear site data |
| sekilli:locale-banner-dismissed | localStorage | Nicksty | Remembers that you closed the language suggestion | Until you clear site data |
| sekilli:hint:<row> | sessionStorage | Nicksty | Plays the "you can scroll" hint only once | Until you close the tab |
| sekilli-pages-v1, sekilli-assets-v1 | Cache Storage (service worker) | Nicksty | Loads pages faster and shows them offline | Up to 40 pages and 150 files, replaced on updates |
Analytics cookies (only with consent)
Used only if you choose "Accept all" or turn analytics on in the settings. They are set by Google Analytics 4, which we load through Google Tag Manager (GTM-NZXVZS85).
| Name | Type | Provider | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| _ga | Cookie | Distinguishes visitors with a random identifier | 2 years | |
| _ga_WG5D1S9ZXP | Cookie | Keeps the state of your current visit (session) | 2 years |
How your choice works
- On your first visit a bar at the bottom offers "Accept all", "Necessary only" and "Manage settings". Analytics is off until you turn it on; scrolling or using the site is not consent.
- Before you accept, Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics are not loaded and send nothing.
- Your choice is kept for 12 months in nicksty:consent, then we ask again.
- You can change it at any time with "Cookie settings" in the footer. If you withdraw consent, measurement stops at once and we delete the _ga cookies we can reach. Data already sent to Google is kept for the retention period described in the Privacy Policy.
- You can also block or delete cookies in your browser, or use Google's opt-out add-on: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout
Other third-party requests
Our fonts are served from nicksty.com itself, so your browser does not contact Google Fonts or other font or CDN services. Before you consent, no third-party scripts are loaded.
Advertising cookies
Nicksty does not show ads and uses no advertising cookies. If that changes, we will update this page first and, in the EEA, the UK and Switzerland, collect consent through a Google-certified consent management platform.
