Cookie Information
Last updated: 29 May 2026
This page explains how StackCompass uses cookies and similar storage, and how you can control them. We split usage into strictly necessary storage and optional analytics that load only after you give consent.
Strictly Necessary Storage
These are required for the site to work and do not need consent. They are stored locally in your browser and are not shared with third parties:
| Name | Purpose | Type / Retention |
|---|---|---|
stackcompass-theme | Remembers your light / dark theme choice. | localStorage · until cleared |
stackcompass-cookie-consent | Stores your cookie choice so we don't ask again. | localStorage · until cleared |
Analytics (Consent Required)
We use Google Analytics 4 (GA4) to understand aggregate traffic. GA4 may load directly or through Google Tag Manager, depending on the active site configuration. None of this loads until you click Accept in the cookie banner. If you click Reject, the analytics scripts are not injected and any previously loaded analytics state is removed.
When analytics is enabled, Google Analytics 4 sets the following cookies:
| Name | Purpose | Retention |
|---|---|---|
_ga | Distinguishes unique visitors. | 2 years |
_ga_<container-id> | Persists the GA4 session state. | 2 years |
Data collected through GA4 is processed by Google and may be transferred outside the European Economic Area. See our Privacy Policy for details on legal basis, processors, and your rights.
Managing Your Preferences
You can withdraw or change your consent at any time using the Cookie settings button, or by clearing this site's data in your browser. Most browsers also let you block or delete cookies globally in their privacy settings.
