What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They help websites remember your preferences and understand how you use the site.

How We Use Cookies

We use the following categories of cookies on vibingwithgrok.com:

Strictly Necessary

These cookies are essential for the website to function. They include your cookie consent preference. They cannot be disabled.

Security (strictly necessary)

These cookies are set by Google reCAPTCHA v3, which we use on the account signup page to detect automated bot activity and protect against abuse. They are strictly necessary for the signup form to function securely and cannot be disabled on that page.

reCAPTCHA v3 also collects hardware and software information, mouse movements, and interaction patterns and sends them to Google for risk scoring. No CAPTCHA puzzle is shown to the user. Google’s use of this data is governed by the Google Privacy Policy. reCAPTCHA is only loaded on the /signup page — not site-wide.

Google Consent Mode V2

We implement Google Consent Mode V2, which means:

  • All analytics and marketing cookies are denied by default until you give consent
  • Google tags respect your consent choices in real-time
  • If you reject cookies, Google receives only cookieless pings (no personal data)
  • Four consent signals are managed: analytics_storage, ad_storage, ad_user_data, and ad_personalization

Managing Cookies

You can manage your cookie preferences in several ways:

  • Our cookie banner — shown on your first visit, lets you accept, customise, or reject cookies
  • Browser settings — most browsers let you block or delete cookies
  • Clear cookies — deleting the cookie_consent cookie will cause the banner to reappear

Changes

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page.
