This Cookie Policy explains how Ankhway Marketing uses cookies and similar technologies on our website, what each one does, and how you can control them. Ankhway Marketing ("we", "us", "our") is a trade name of M&R MARKETING GROUP, LLC, whose business address is 331 3rd St, Macon, GA 31201-3312, United States.
Our approach is simple: the site uses only the browser storage it needs to work, and analytics or advertising cookies are used only if we have switched those tools on and you have agreed to them. For how we handle personal information more generally, see our Privacy Policy.
2. How we use them
We group the technologies we use into three categories:
- Strictly necessary storage — always on. Two local storage items remember your theme and your cookie choices. They are not used to track you.
- Analytics cookies — off unless you allow them. If we have enabled Google Analytics 4, these cookies help us understand, in aggregate, how visitors use the site.
- Advertising cookies — off unless you allow them. If we have enabled Google Ads conversion tracking and remarketing, these cookies help us measure our ads and show them to people who have visited the site.
Analytics and advertising cookies are used only if we have enabled the related Google tools on the site, and only after you give your consent. Until then, they are not set.
We do not use other analytics or advertising tools. Our fonts are self-hosted, so the site does not request Google Fonts, and there are no social media embeds, no chat widgets and no third-party ad networks displaying ads on our pages.
3. Your choices and the cookie banner
If we have enabled analytics or advertising tools, a cookie banner asks for your choice when you first visit. It offers three options, with "Accept all" and "Reject all" given equal prominence:
- Accept all — allows analytics and advertising cookies.
- Reject all — keeps them off. You can use the whole site either way.
- Customize — lets you choose which categories to allow.
Until you make a choice, analytics and advertising cookies stay off. You can change your mind at any time by selecting Cookie settings, which is also linked in the footer of the site. Withdrawing consent is as easy as giving it.
We store your choice in your browser, in the ankh_consent item described below, for 12 months. After 12 months, we ask you again. Because your choice is saved only in the browser you used, we will also ask again if you clear your browser storage or visit from another browser or device.
If you withdraw consent, analytics and advertising cookies are no longer used from that point on. Cookies that were already stored may remain in your browser until they expire, and you can delete them at any time (see Managing cookies in your browser).
4. Strictly necessary storage
These items are needed for a feature you use and to remember your privacy choices, so they do not require consent. They are kept in your browser's local storage rather than as cookies, and they are not sent to our server with each request.
| Name | Provider | Purpose | Type | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ankh_theme | Ankhway Marketing (this website) | Remembers whether you chose the light or dark theme, so pages display the way you prefer | Local storage (first party) | Until you clear it |
| ankh_consent | Ankhway Marketing (this website) | Remembers your cookie choices, so we can apply them on every page without asking again | Local storage (first party) | 12 months |
You can remove these items by clearing your browser's site data. If you do, the site returns to its default appearance and, if the cookie banner is in use, shows it again.
5. Analytics cookies
If we have enabled Google Analytics 4 and you allow analytics cookies, Google Analytics sets the first-party cookies below. They help us understand, in aggregate, which pages are visited, how people find the site and how it performs, so we can improve it. The reports we see do not identify you by name.
| Name | Provider | Purpose | Type | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| _ga | Google Analytics (Google) | Distinguishes one browser from another so that visits can be counted in aggregate statistics | First-party cookie | 2 years |
| _ga_<container-id> | Google Analytics (Google) | Keeps track of the current session and its state for the same statistics | First-party cookie | 2 years |
In the second cookie's name, <container-id> stands for an identifier specific to our website's Google Analytics setup. We keep analytics data for up to 14 months. You can also block Google Analytics on all websites with the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.
6. Advertising cookies
If we have enabled Google Ads conversion tracking and remarketing and you allow advertising cookies, the cookies below may be used. Conversion tracking shows us whether our ads lead people to visit the site and take an action, such as sending us a form. Remarketing lets us show our ads to people who have visited the site while they browse other websites and apps.
| Name | Provider | Purpose | Type | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| _gcl_au | Google Ads (Google) | Helps measure conversions by connecting ad interactions with later visits or actions on our site | First-party cookie | 90 days |
| _gcl_aw | Google Ads (Google) | Stores information about the Google ad you clicked to reach our site, so a later action can be attributed to that ad | First-party cookie | 90 days |
| IDE | Google (doubleclick.net) | Used by Google to show ads, measure how they perform and, where allowed, personalize them, including for remarketing | Third-party cookie | 13 months in the EEA and UK; 24 months elsewhere |
| test_cookie | Google (doubleclick.net) | Checks whether your browser accepts cookies | Third-party cookie | 15 minutes |
Google may set additional cookies on its own domains, under its own control. Google describes these in how Google uses cookies, and explains how it uses information from sites that use its services.
We use advertising cookies only to measure our own ads and to show them to past visitors. Our site does not display ads from third-party ad networks.
7. Google Consent Mode v2
We use Google Consent Mode v2 to pass your choices to Google's tags. Four signals control analytics and advertising:
- analytics_storage — whether analytics cookies may be stored and read;
- ad_storage — whether advertising cookies may be stored and read;
- ad_user_data — whether personal data related to advertising may be sent to Google; and
- ad_personalization — whether data may be used for personalized advertising, such as remarketing.
All four signals are set to "denied" by default for every visitor. They change to "granted" only for the categories you accept, and they return to "denied" if you later withdraw consent.
While a signal is denied, Google's tags do not read or write the related cookies. They may still send cookieless pings: requests that carry limited technical information about the page view but do not read or write cookies. Google uses these pings for aggregated, modeled measurement — statistical estimates of overall activity rather than records tied to a cookie in your browser.
Two other Consent Mode settings, functionality_storage and security_storage, are set to "granted". They relate to site features and security and do not allow analytics or advertising cookies. We also enable two related Google settings. Ads data redaction removes ad-click identifiers from the requests that Google's advertising tags send while advertising consent is denied. URL passthrough means that, while consent is denied, information about an ad click or visit (such as a gclid or _gl parameter) may be added to the addresses of links within our site, so that visits and conversions can be measured across pages without cookies.
If we have not enabled Google Analytics or Google Ads, no Google tags load on the site, so no pings are sent.
8. Global Privacy Control
Global Privacy Control (GPC) is a setting available in some browsers and browser extensions that tells websites you do not want your personal information sold or shared. You can learn more on the Global Privacy Control website.
We honor GPC. If your browser sends the signal, we treat it as a rejection of advertising cookies, and the advertising-related signals in Google Consent Mode stay "denied". Analytics cookies remain subject to the choice you make in the banner or through Cookie settings.
9. Managing cookies in your browser
Besides using our banner, you can control cookies through your browser:
- Most browsers let you view, block and delete cookies and other site data, including local storage, in their privacy or security settings. Your browser's help pages explain how.
- You can block third-party cookies, such as IDE, while still allowing first-party ones.
- Private or incognito browsing modes usually delete cookies and site data when you close the window.
If you block or delete all site data, you can still browse the directory, but the site will not remember your theme or your cookie choices, so you may see the banner again.
Google also offers its own controls:
- Google's ad settings, where you can manage or turn off personalized ads from Google; and
- the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on, which stops Google Analytics from collecting data about your visits to websites.
10. Websites we link to
Our listings link to the websites of tool providers, and "Visit website" links open in a new tab. Once you are on another website, that site's own cookie and privacy policies apply, and it may set its own cookies. We do not control those cookies, so please check the other site's policies.
11. Changes to this policy
We may update this Cookie Policy — for example, if we enable or disable a tool, or if Google changes the cookies its tools use. We will publish the updated version on this page and change the date shown at the top. If a change means we need your consent again, we will ask for it through the cookie banner.
12. Contact
If you have questions about cookies or this policy, use our contact form with the privacy topic selected, or write to us by post. We aim to reply within two business days (Monday to Friday, excluding US federal holidays).
