Default load, and how to turn it off
On a first visit there is no stored choice, so analytics and advertising are treated as granted: Google Analytics 4, Microsoft Clarity and the two Adsterra units start on the first page view, together with the page itself. The banner still appears on that first visit. It is notice and a way to withdraw, not a gate. Pressing Reject stops the Clarity recorder and the Adsterra units, sets the Google consent signals to denied, and stores the denied choice for 180 days. Later page views skip all three vendor loaders. Pressing Accept restores the default. Cookie settings in the footer reopens the banner at any time. If your browser sends Global Privacy Control or Do Not Track, we treat that as Reject and do not show the banner.
What loads, and what it stores
| Third party | When it loads | Purpose | Cookies, keys and retention |
|---|---|---|---|
| Google Analytics 4 (measurement ID G-P8Z6457LKC, Google Ireland / Google LLC) | Default load; Reject disables it | Aggregate page views, sessions and approximate geography so we know which guides are used | Cookies _ga and _ga_P8Z6457LKC identify browser sessions. Google documents _ga as expiring after two years by default; the property settings control the actual lifetime and event retention, and we have not independently audited those settings. Reject sets analytics_storage to denied. Google may process data outside the EEA under its own safeguards. |
| Microsoft Clarity (project zbd54x86uf, Microsoft Corporation) | Default load; Reject disables it | Heatmaps and anonymised session recordings so we can see where a page is hard to use | Microsoft documents _clck, _clsk, CLID, ANONCHK, MR, MUID and SM. Their presence depends on browser and vendor settings. Delivery and recording requests use www.clarity.ms, scripts.clarity.ms and regional subdomains of clarity.ms. Reject removes the loader and asks Clarity to stop recording. |
| Adsterra (publisher 3403020, website 6189210; adult ads permanently off) | Default load; Reject disables it | Native Banner above the footer and a Social Bar floating at the bottom of the page, which fund the site | Both units start at bicea.org; the selected creative can contact additional advertising delivery hosts. Cookie names and lifetimes vary by creative and region, so we do not claim a fixed inventory or retention period. Reject removes the units and prevents their loaders on later visits. |
| YouTube (youtube-nocookie.com) | Only after you press Play on a video | Shows the embedded video you asked for | YouTube may set cookies after playback starts. We use the privacy-enhanced host and do not load it before the click. |
| Consent and ad-bar state (this site) | On every page | Remembers your choice and a closed floating bar so we do not ask again | localStorage key roburbia-consent stores the choice and a timestamp for 180 days. Key roburbia-adbar-closed remembers that you hid the Social Bar until you clear site data. Neither is sent to us. |
GA4 uses www.googletagmanager.com for its library and www.google-analytics.com for measurement. Before any Google config call, Consent Mode v2 defaults ad_storage, ad_user_data and ad_personalization to denied, analytics_storage to granted, and enables ads_data_redaction. On a first visit the notice then updates the signals to granted; a saved Reject skips the library and configuration. Reject updates all four to denied and reloads the page to stop already running vendor code. The saved choice gates GA4, Clarity and Adsterra on later page views. Clearing site data for roburbia.org removes both local-storage keys, and the banner can appear again.
Personalised advertising and your choices
Adsterra and its partners may use cookies to choose ads. You can opt out of personalised advertising at Google Ads Settings, Your Online Choices and the DAA opt-out; Adsterra describes its own processing at adsterra.com/privacy-policy. Reject on this site stops the units, but it does not delete cookies another site already set. Legacy Do Not Track headers are inconsistent across browsers; this site follows Global Privacy Control as well.
Legal basis, retention and your rights
This site starts analytics, recording and advertising by default before an affirmative choice. The banner records Accept or Reject; displaying it alone does not constitute affirmative consent. The stored choice itself is kept so the banner can remember you. Where consent does not apply, we rely on our legitimate interest in understanding and funding a free guide, balanced against the controls described here. Transfers outside the EEA rely on the vendors’ standard contractual clauses.
The consent choice expires from our logic after 180 days. Vendor retention follows their policies and service settings; no site-specific vendor retention audit has been completed. We keep correction mail only as long as we need it to fix a page, then delete it.
Email [email protected] to ask what we hold, to object, or to ask us to correct or delete a page or an email. If you are in the EEA or the UK you may also complain to your local data-protection authority.

Questions
Do analytics and ads load before I click Accept?
Yes. With no stored choice, Google Analytics 4, Microsoft Clarity and Adsterra load on the first page view. The banner explains this; Reject turns them off and remembers the choice for 180 days.
Which cookies does Google Analytics 4 set?
The GA4 tag sets _ga and _ga_P8Z6457LKC. Google documents _ga as expiring after two years by default; the property setting controls the actual lifetime and we have not independently audited it.
Which local-storage keys does the site use?
roburbia-consent stores your choice and a timestamp for 180 days. roburbia-adbar-closed remembers that you hid the floating Adsterra bar until you clear site data.
Does a video load YouTube immediately?
No. The player appears only after you press Play, and it uses youtube-nocookie.com.
Are adult ads enabled?
No. The Adsterra website is configured with adult ads off, and only a Native Banner and a Social Bar are placed.
