Cookie Policy

1. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They help websites function, remember preferences, understand traffic, and support advertising.

We also use similar technologies such as pixels, tags, and local storage. In this policy, we refer to all of them as “cookies.”

2. How StoryDL uses cookies

We use cookies to:

• Make the website work properly and securely
• Remember your preferences
• Understand how visitors use our pages and free tools
• Show and measure advertising (including Google AdSense and partners such as Ezoic)
• Prevent spam and abuse

3. Types of cookies we use

4. Advertising & analytics cookies

Google AdSense

We use Google AdSense to display ads. Google and its partners may use cookies to serve ads based on your visits to StoryDL and other sites.

• Manage ad personalization: Google Ads Settings
• Industry opt-out page: www.aboutads.info/choices
• Google tech details: How Google uses cookies in advertising

Ezoic and other ad partners

We may use Ezoic or similar ad optimization platforms. These partners can set cookies and process device/usage data to place ads, test layouts, and improve revenue and user experience.

Google Analytics

We use or may use Google Analytics 4 (GA4) to understand site performance and content demand. Analytics cookies help us see aggregated traffic trends, not to sell personal information.

5. WordPress-related cookies

If you leave a comment, you may choose to save your name, email, and website in cookies for one year.

If you log in, WordPress may set cookies for authentication and screen display options. A temporary cookie may also be used to check browser cookie support.

6. How to manage or disable cookies

You can control cookies in these ways:

• Cookie banner: use the on-site consent banner (where shown) to accept or reject non-essential cookies
• Browser settings: block or delete cookies in Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Edge, and other browsers
• Google ad controls: adjust personalization in Google Ads Settings
• Global privacy signals: where required/supported, we honor applicable legal opt-out requirements

If you disable some cookies, parts of the site may not work as expected, and ads may be less relevant.

7. Third-party cookies

Some cookies are set by third parties (for example Google, ad partners, embedded media providers). We do not fully control those cookies. Please review their own privacy/cookie policies for more detail.

8. Updates to this policy

We may update this Cookie Policy when our tools, advertising setup, or legal requirements change. The “Last updated” date at the top will be revised when that happens.
