Cookie Policy
This page explains the cookies and similar technologies used on peaceful-world.org and how you can control them.
1. Our approach
We use strictly necessary technologies where they are required for the website to function. We also use privacy-preserving aggregate measurement that does not set analytics cookies or persistent visitor identifiers. Optional consent-based analytics and marketing technologies remain disabled until you allow them.
Rejecting optional cookies should not prevent you from reading Peaceful World content or using core site functions.
2. Cookie categories
| Category | Purpose | Default |
|---|---|---|
| Necessary | Security, basic site operation and remembering consent choices where required. | Always active where required. |
| Aggregate measurement | Page-level traffic, referrals, campaign UTMs, broad country and device/browser aggregates without analytics cookies or persistent visitor identifiers. | Active when the approved privacy-preserving provider is enabled. |
| Optional analytics | Consent-based analytics such as Google Analytics for deeper usage measurement. | Off until consent. |
| Preferences | Remember optional interface choices when a feature requires this. | Off unless needed or chosen. |
| Marketing | Advertising, remarketing or campaign measurement. | Off until explicit consent; not required for normal site use. |
3. Analytics services
For aggregate site measurement we use Simple Analytics. Our implementation does not set analytics cookies or localStorage identifiers and initially sends only the provider's standard page-level aggregate measurement.
Where enabled after consent, Google Analytics or Google tags may set identifiers such as _ga and related cookies used to distinguish browser instances and measure site usage. Their exact names and retention can change as Google updates its services or our configuration.
Advertising storage, advertising user data and ad personalisation should remain denied unless a future feature specifically requires them and the visitor has consented.
4. Embedded and third-party content
Some pages may link to or embed content from third-party services. A third party can apply its own cookies or storage when its content is loaded or when you interact with it. We aim to avoid loading non-essential third-party tracking before the required consent.
5. Change or withdraw your choice
You can reopen the cookie controls at any time. Withdrawing consent should be as easy as giving it.
6. Separate product consent
5 Practice is a separate product surface with its own consent-first analytics implementation and product privacy policy. Its analytics tag is designed not to load before analytics consent.
7. Changes
We update this page when our cookie use or consent configuration materially changes.
