--- title: "Cookie Policy | Gawergy Audio" description: "How Gawergy uses essential browser storage, analytics, marketing performance tools, YouTube embeds, and privacy choices." canonical_url: "https://gawergy.com/plugins/cookie-policy" md_url: "https://gawergy.com/plugins/cookie-policy.md" last_updated: "2026-09-09" date_published: "2026-09-07" --- # Cookie Policy Effective Date: September 9, 2026 ## Introduction This Cookie Policy explains how gawergy.com uses cookies, local storage, pixels, scripts, and similar browser technologies. Analytics and Marketing performance technologies remain off unless you choose to enable them. Essential storage and services you request may operate without optional consent. The homepage also includes a privacy-enhanced YouTube player, described below. You can accept, decline, or change your optional choices at any time through Privacy Choices in the footer. ## Essential storage and preferences Gawergy.com uses first-party browser storage to remember choices and preferences and to provide functions you request. Gawergy does not use these first-party preference values to track you across unrelated websites. | Storage key | Purpose | Duration | | --- | --- | --- | | `gawergy-privacy-consent` | Remembers your Analytics and Marketing performance choices and the applicable consent version. | Until you clear browser storage or Gawergy requires a new consent version. | | `gawergy-theme` | Remembers the light or dark appearance you selected. | Until you change it or clear browser storage. | | `gawergy-email-capture` | Prevents a dismissed or completed newsletter prompt from being repeatedly shown. | 14 days after dismissal. After a successful signup, the completed state remains until browser storage is cleared. | | `gclipper-announcement-v1.2.1` | Remembers when you dismiss the current G-Clipper Pro update announcement. | 24 hours after dismissal. | | `gawergy-downloads-unlocked` | Remembers that you completed the requested music-download unlock. | Until you clear browser storage. | These values are not controlled by the optional Analytics or Marketing performance switches because they remember choices or provide interface behavior you request. When you choose to begin secure checkout, Lemon Squeezy may load technologies needed to display checkout, process payment, calculate applicable taxes, prevent fraud, and complete your purchase. This user-requested checkout connection works regardless of your optional settings and is separate from optional affiliate measurement. ## Analytics If you enable Analytics, gawergy.com loads Google Analytics and Vercel Web Analytics. Google Analytics helps measure page views, interactions, referral sources, approximate location, and general browser and device information. Under the current configuration, Google Analytics may use first-party cookies such as `_ga` and `_ga_` to distinguish users and sessions. Google documents a default expiration of up to two years for these cookies. Vercel Web Analytics helps measure page views, referrers, approximate location, operating system, browser, and device type. Vercel states that its Web Analytics does not use cookies and identifies daily visitors using a request-derived hash that resets after 24 hours. Analytics remains off unless you enable it. ## Marketing performance If you enable Marketing performance, gawergy.com may load Meta Pixel and Lemon Squeezy affiliate measurement. Meta Pixel helps Gawergy understand whether promotions lead to visits, interactions, or purchases. Meta may receive information about the page, referral source, browser, device, and actions measured through the Pixel. Meta may set or read identifiers under its own policies. Lemon Squeezy affiliate measurement helps determine whether an eligible partner should receive credit for a purchase. Lemon Squeezy states that its affiliate referral tracking is cookie-free and creates an anonymous identifier for the attribution period configured for the Gawergy affiliate program. Marketing performance remains off unless you enable it. When your browser sends a Global Privacy Control signal, Gawergy keeps Marketing performance off. ## External video The homepage loads an embedded YouTube player through YouTube's privacy-enhanced `youtube-nocookie.com` domain. The player does not autoplay. Because the player is embedded on the homepage, the browser may connect to YouTube or Google when the player loads, before playback begins. That connection may disclose your IP address, browser or device information, and the page origin or referrer. YouTube or Google may use browser storage or process additional information under their own policies. Playing the video does not change your Analytics or Marketing performance choices and does not enable Google Analytics, Vercel Analytics, Meta Pixel, or Lemon Squeezy affiliate measurement. ## Changing your choices Use Privacy Choices in the footer to accept, decline, or change Analytics and Marketing performance. When you withdraw a previously enabled category, gawergy.com stops loading that optional category for future activity and attempts to remove related browser storage that the site can access. The page may reload where necessary to stop technology that has already loaded. Gawergy.com cannot directly remove storage controlled exclusively by another domain. You may also manage that storage through your browser or the relevant provider. Clearing browser storage may remove your saved privacy choices, theme preference, newsletter-prompt state, and other saved site preferences. Gawergy honors Global Privacy Control by keeping Marketing performance off. GPC does not automatically enable or disable Analytics, and it does not prevent the homepage's privacy-enhanced YouTube player from loading. Your versioned optional choice remains in your browser until you clear it or Gawergy requires a new consent version. ## Provider information and changes Third-party technologies, storage names, and durations may change. The descriptions in this policy reflect the configuration documented or verified as of the Effective Date. If Gawergy adds a materially different optional provider or purpose, the website may request a new privacy choice. ## More information See the [Privacy Policy](/plugins/privacy-policy) for more information about data use, service providers, privacy rights, and contact details.
