Cookie Policy

What cookies and similar technologies MatchPath uses, how Google Consent Mode v2 gates analytics and advertising by region, and how to change your choices.

Last updated June 9, 2026

What Cookies Are

Cookies are small text files a site stores in your browser. We also use related technologies — local storage and tag managers — under the same banner. Together they let us keep you signed in, remember your privacy choice, and, only with your permission, measure how the catalog is used.

Consent Mode v2

MatchPath runs Google Consent Mode v2, managed by c15t. What you see depends on where you are. In the EU, EEA, and UK, every storage signal starts at denied — no analytics or advertising cookies are set until you choose — and a banner lets you Accept All or Reject All. Rejecting keeps everything but strictly necessary cookies off; tags still load in a cookieless, non-identifying mode so totals stay roughly accurate. Outside those regions, analytics is granted by default and no banner appears, though you can still change your choice below.

Signed-in members are not shown the banner — analytics is enabled for your session — and you can withdraw consent at any time from this page. The two categories below, analytics and advertising, each map to the Google signals listed.

Cookie Categories

Strictly Necessary
Always active
Required for the site to function — keeping you signed in, remembering your consent choice, and protecting against fraud. These do not require consent and cannot be switched off.

Set by: Session and security cookies (Better Auth), consent preference

Analytics
Consent-gated
Helps us understand which pages get used so we can improve the catalog. In the EU, EEA, and UK, set only after you accept; elsewhere on by default until you reject.
analytics_storage
Stores analytics identifiers, such as a session ID.

Set by: Google Analytics 4 via Google Tag Manager

Advertising
Consent-gated
Measures campaigns and tailors ads if we run them. Gated the same way as analytics, and none of these are active today.
ad_storage
Stores advertising identifiers.
ad_user_data
Permits sending user data to Google for advertising.
ad_personalization
Permits personalized (remarketing) advertising.

Set by: Reserved for future Google Ads and Meta pixels

Tools We Use

Analytics runs through Google Tag Manager, which forwards events to Google Analytics 4. The tag manager is also the bridge for any future Google Ads conversion or Meta pixel tags — they would fire only with advertising consent and are not active today. We separately use privacy-respecting, cookieless measurement (Vercel Web Analytics) that does not track you across sites.

Change Your Choices

You can withdraw or update your consent at any time. The button below re-opens the preferences dialog so you can review and change your choice. You can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings, though strictly necessary cookies may need to be reset for the site to work.
