The short version
PornMeter deliberately uses very few cookies: one preference cookie of our own, security cookies from our CDN, and Google Analytics for aggregate usage statistics. There are no advertising networks and no cross-site tracking cookies set by PornMeter.
What we use
| Cookie / storage | Provider | Purpose | Type | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| lang | PornMeter | Remembers your chosen site language | Preference | 12 months |
| __cf_bm, _cfuvid | Cloudflare | Bot detection and security for the CDN that serves the site | Strictly necessary | Under 1 day |
| _ga, _ga_* | Google Analytics | Aggregate usage statistics: pages visited, approximate location, device class | Analytics | Up to 13 months |
Server-side, PornMeter also keeps short-lived technical logs and affiliate click records, described in the privacy policy — these are not cookies and do not live in your browser.
Managing cookies
You can delete or block cookies in your browser settings at any time; blocking the strictly necessary ones may affect how the site loads. To opt out of Google Analytics specifically, you can use Google's browser add-on or block the _ga cookies. Your language preference simply resets if you delete the lang cookie.
Changes
If PornMeter adds new cookies or storage — for example a consent-management tool or new analytics — this page and its table will be updated first. See also the privacy policy and privacy choices.
