This Cookie Consent Policy explains how consent choices are requested, recorded, and managed on https://figurativephrases.com (“Website”).
1. Purpose
We use a consent mechanism to:
- request consent for non-essential cookies and similar technologies where required
- respect user privacy choices
- support compliance with privacy and advertising obligations
2. Regions and Applicable Rules
Consent requirements can vary by location. For users in regions such as the EEA, UK, and Switzerland, consent may be required for non-essential cookies and ad personalization before those technologies are activated.
3. Cookie/Storage Categories Used in Consent
Our consent interface may include categories such as:
- Strictly Necessary: required for core website security and functionality
- Functional: remembers user settings and preferences
- Analytics/Measurement: helps us understand traffic and performance
- Advertising/Personalization: supports ad delivery and ad relevance
4. How Consent Works
When required, you can:
- accept all categories
- reject non-essential categories
- customize your category choices
Your choice may be stored to avoid asking repeatedly.
5. Changing or Withdrawing Consent
You can change your preferences at any time by using:
- cookie settings controls on the Website (if available), and/or
- browser controls for cookies and site data
Withdrawing consent does not affect prior lawful processing performed before withdrawal.
6. Google Advertising and Consent
If Google advertising products are used, consent handling should support applicable Google requirements for disclosures and consent signals in regulated regions, including EEA/UK/Switzerland requirements for consent where legally required.
For EEA/UK/Switzerland traffic, publishers using Google AdSense/Ad Manager/AdMob may need a Google-certified CMP integrated with the IAB TCF, depending on ad serving configuration.
7. Non-Personalized Ads
Where supported and configured, users who do not consent to ad personalization may receive non-personalized ads, which can still use certain cookies/local storage for limited purposes such as frequency capping, aggregated reporting, and fraud prevention, where permitted by law.
8. Recordkeeping
We may retain consent preference records (for example, timestamp, consent state, and region context) for compliance and audit purposes.
