3. Analytics
If enabled, ViewMade records page paths, external referrer host, UTM source/medium/campaign, locale and a coarse mobile/tablet/desktop class. We do not store the IP address, full browser user-agent, email, account ID, search text or arbitrary query strings in analytics. Data is retained for 13 months and is used only to understand acquisition and improve the Service.
Enabling analytics also loads Google Analytics 4, which acts as a separate processor and sets the _ga cookies listed above. It is used for the same purpose — understanding which channels visits arrive from — with IP anonymisation on and page addresses sent without their query strings. Its script is not loaded at all until you enable analytics, and declining or later withdrawing consent means no request is made to Google from these pages.
4. Security infrastructure
Cloudflare may set short-lived security cookies such as challenge or bot-management tokens when needed to protect the site. They are used for security and fraud prevention, not ViewMade advertising. Their exact names and duration can vary with the security event and Cloudflare configuration.
5. Change or withdraw consent
Use Cookie settings in any page footer to change the choice at any time. Withdrawing a category deletes its optional browser identifier immediately and stops future processing based on that consent. Browser controls can also delete or block cookies, but blocking necessary cookies will prevent authenticated or OAuth features from working.
