What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device that let a website remember information between visits, such as a display preference. We also use similar technologies like local storage for the same purpose. This page explains which categories we use, why, and how you can control them.

Categories we use

Necessary cookies are not set by this site. There is no account or sign-in on this site, and no tool requires a cookie to use.

Preferences cookies (in our case, local storage) remember your light or dark theme choice. Stored on your device only when you make a choice.

Analytics cookies help us understand which tools are used and how often, so we can prioritise improvements. No analytics provider is connected yet; when one is, this section will name it.

Advertising cookies are used, once Google AdSense is enabled, to show ads that keep The Lazy Deck free. Google and its advertising partners may set cookies (including the DoubleClick cookie) to serve ads based on your visits to this and other sites, and to measure ad performance. Where required by law, Google's certified Consent Management Platform (CMP) shows visitors a consent prompt and handles their choice before any advertising cookies are set. You can read more in Google's advertising and cookies policy and opt out of personalised ads at Google Ads Settings. Declining advertising cookies does not affect access to any tool.

Managing your choices

Where required by law, a consent prompt from Google's certified Consent Management Platform is shown when you visit, and you can change your advertising consent choice at any time from within it or via Google Ads Settings. You can also block or delete cookies using your browser settings, though this may affect how the site works. See our Privacy Policy for how we handle the data these cookies relate to.

Changes to this policy

We will update this page and the "Last updated" date above if the cookies we use change, including when advertising is enabled.
