This Cookie Policy explains, in plain language, every cookie and local-storage item used on snoopbee.com, and how you can control ad-related cookies at any time. It supplements our Privacy Policy.
What Are Cookies & Local Storage?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device by websites you visit. Local storage is a similar browser feature that lets a website save small pieces of data directly on your device. We use both terms in this policy since our site relies mostly on local storage for its own features, while our advertising and analytics partners use traditional cookies.
Categories We Use
| Category | Set By | Purpose | Consent Required? |
|---|---|---|---|
| Strictly Necessary | snoopbee.com (localStorage) | Remembers your cookie-consent choice so you aren't asked again; lets the site function. | No — essential to operate the site |
| Functional | snoopbee.com (localStorage) | Saves your game high scores and generates calculator PDF/Excel exports, entirely on your device. | No — not shared with any third party |
| Analytics | Google Analytics | Understands how visitors use the site (pages viewed, general location, device type) to help us improve it. | Recommended, honored via our consent banner |
| Advertising | Google AdSense | Serves and measures display ads; may personalise ads based on your browsing activity if you consent. | Yes, for personalised ads — required in the EEA, UK & Switzerland |
For full detail on exactly what Google collects and how, see Google's own Cookies policy and How Google uses information from sites that use our services.
Your Consent Choices
When you first visit snoopbee.com, a banner offers two choices:
- Accept All — allows Google AdSense to serve personalised ads based on your browsing activity.
- Reject Non-Essential — we request non-personalised ads from Google for your visit instead. Strictly necessary local storage (like remembering this choice) still applies, since the site cannot function without it.
You can change your mind at any time — click the button below, or use the "Manage Cookies" link in the footer of any page.
EEA, UK & Switzerland Visitors
Google requires publishers using AdSense to obtain your consent before serving personalised ads or using non-essential cookies and local storage, if you are located in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or Switzerland. We honor that requirement through the consent banner described above: choosing "Reject Non-Essential" causes us to request non-personalised ads from Google for the remainder of your visit.
We are working toward integrating a Google-certified Consent Management Platform (CMP) built on the IAB's Transparency and Consent Framework (TCF), which is Google's required long-term standard for this region. Until that integration is complete, please use the banner and the "Manage Cookies" link to control ad personalisation.
Managing Cookies In Your Browser
In addition to our on-site consent controls, you can block or delete cookies directly through your browser settings. Every major browser supports this — search "[your browser name] clear cookies" for exact steps, or use one of these links: Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge.
You can also opt out of personalised advertising directly through Google at Google Ads Settings, or industry-wide via the Digital Advertising Alliance's YourAdChoices tool.
Note that blocking all cookies through your browser may affect the functionality of some site features, such as remembering your consent choice or saved game scores.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time, including as we roll out additional consent-management functionality. Any changes will be reflected on this page with an updated effective date.
