Analytics
We use Plausible Analytics, a privacy-focused analytics service that does not use cookies and does not track individual users. Plausible collects anonymous, aggregate data only (page views, referrers, country). No consent is required.
Advertising Cookies (only with your consent)
If you choose Accept all in the cookie banner, we load conversion tags from Google Ads and Reddit Ads so we can measure which ads lead to sign-ups, paid subscriptions, and bids created. These tags are not loaded at all if you choose Essential only or make no choice. When you create an account after accepting, Google Ads receives your email address in hashed form to match the sign-up to an ad click (enhanced conversions). You can change your choice at any time by clearing this site's data in your browser, which shows the banner again.
| Cookie | Provider | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
_gcl_* (e.g. _gcl_au, _gcl_aw) | Google Ads | Ad click and conversion measurement | Up to 90 days |
_rdt_* (e.g. _rdt_uuid) | Reddit Ads | Ad click and conversion measurement | Up to 90 days |
