Cookie Policy
This policy explains how warcolumn.com uses cookies, local storage, pixels, and similar technologies. These technologies can store information on a device or allow a service to recognize a browser or device.
Current status
MailerLite email signup features are active. The MailerLite universal form script loads only on the home page, where the signup form appears. Google Analytics is also available, but its tag does not load unless a visitor allows analytics through the site’s cookie choices. War Column does not currently use advertising pixels or advertising cookies. This policy will be updated before any advertising technology is enabled.
Technology categories
| Category | Purpose and examples | Current status |
|---|---|---|
| Essential | Cloudflare delivery and security mechanisms used to serve the site, detect abuse, and maintain availability. | Active where required |
| Preferences | A War Column local-storage record may remember cookie choices for up to six months. It does not track activity across websites. | Available |
| Analytics | Google Analytics may use identifiers such as _ga and _ga_* to distinguish visits and measure site usage. War Column configures these identifiers to expire after 60 days. | Active after consent |
| Email signup | MailerLite may use necessary form and security technologies, including mailerlite:webform:shown, mailerlite:session_id, and mailerlite:forms:submitted:[ID], to display the form, maintain the form session, and record a submission. The submitted details are covered by the Privacy Policy. | Active |
Consent and controls
Essential and user-requested form technologies do not use the optional analytics choice. Visitors are offered equally accessible options to allow analytics, reject optional technology, or manage their choice. Google Analytics does not load until analytics consent is recorded.
Choices can be changed later using the Cookie choices control in the footer. Withdrawing consent will prevent future optional use but will not automatically delete information already processed by a provider.
Browser privacy signals
War Column does not sell or share personal information for targeted advertising. A browser privacy signal does not replace a separate request to unsubscribe from email.
Provider details
MailerLite provides the email signup form and processes form submissions. Google provides Google Analytics after a visitor allows analytics. The Google tag is configured with advertising storage, advertising user data, advertising personalization, and Google signals disabled.
Managing browser data
You can also use browser settings to delete or block cookies and local storage. Blocking essential security technologies may affect access to the site.
