Cookie Policy

This policy explains the essential and optional cookies used on xapner.com, including how visitors can manage their preferences.

What cookies do

Cookies and similar technologies help a website remember limited information or understand an interaction. On xapner.com they may support essential functions, security, form submissions, preferences, visitor research, performance measurement or advertising where the required choice has been made.

Essential and optional technologies

Strictly necessary technologies can be needed for core functions such as security, consent records and form handling. Analytics, advertising and other optional technologies are treated separately, so visitors can make the relevant choice before non-essential storage or processing is used where consent is required.

Google AdSense verification and consent

The Google AdSense publisher loader is present on public pages for site verification and to make the configured Google consent message available where applicable. No AdSense ad units have been added during this readiness work. If ads are activated later, Google and relevant advertising partners may use cookies or similar identifiers for fraud prevention, ad delivery, frequency control, reporting, measurement and personalisation where consented.

Optional analytics

Microsoft Clarity may be loaded only after the visitor accepts optional analytics through Xapner’s site controls. Advertising choices for applicable regions are handled through the Google consent message. Visitors can reject optional site analytics without losing access to the public content.

Managing preferences

The full cookie policy describes categories of technology, first-party visitor research and relevant third parties. Visitors can use the site’s Cookie preferences control, review their browser or device controls, visit Google Ads Settings at https://adssettings.google.com/ or use the AboutAds tool at https://optout.aboutads.info/. External tools depend on the provider, browser and region and do not replace the site’s own consent controls.

Information before consent

The policy identifies why a technology is used and distinguishes essential website functions from optional measurement or advertising. This allows a visitor to make an informed choice about non-essential technologies rather than relying on a vague statement that all website storage is necessary.

External advertising controls: Google Ads Settings and the AboutAds opt-out tool.
