Cookie Policy

Last updated: 2026-10-03

This policy lists what the Scrutyn website at scrutyn.com stores on your device or loads from other companies, and how you control it. Our Privacy Policy explains how we handle personal data in general.

In short

• Our public pages set one cookie: the one that remembers your choice below. It is strictly necessary.
• The beta admin area, used only by our own staff, sets one strictly necessary sign-in cookie for them. Visitors never get it.
• The website runs no analytics.
• Advertising tags are optional. They load only after you choose "Accept all", or turn advertising on under "Customize", and only on our marketing pages.
• If you do nothing, or choose "Reject non-essential", no advertising tag loads and no advertising cookie is set by our pages.

Strictly necessary

Name	Set by	What it does	How long
scrutyn_consent	us (first party)	Remembers your choice about advertising tags: whether you accepted, which ad platforms the choice covers, and the version of this choice. It holds no identifier.	about six months; then it expires and we ask again
__Host-scrutyn_beta_admin	us (first party), set only when an administrator signs in at /beta-admin/	Keeps one of our own administrators signed in to the beta admin area. Secure, HttpOnly, SameSite=Strict, and Path=/ (a __Host- cookie must cover the whole site, so the administrator's browser sends it with every request to this website; only the admin area uses it). It holds a random session identifier that we store only as a hash. Visitors to the website never receive it.	12 hours, or until the administrator signs out

We ask again before that if we change what the choice covers (a new version), or if we start using an ad platform that your earlier acceptance did not name.

Cloudflare, which protects and delivers this website, may set its own strictly necessary security cookies (for example __cf_bm or cf_clearance) when its bot protection or a security check applies to your visit. They are used only to tell people from automated traffic.

Advertising measurement (optional)

We advertise on other platforms and want to measure which ads bring people to our website. With your consent, our marketing pages load the measurement tag of each ad platform we run campaigns on. The consent banner names the platforms in use at the time.

Platform	What loads	Cookies it may set
Reddit	the Reddit Pixel, a script from www.redditstatic.com, which sends page visits to alb.reddit.com and pixel-config.reddit.com	its own cookies, for example _rdt_uuid on our domain, for the periods Reddit sets
Google Ads	the Google tag, a script from www.googletagmanager.com, which sends page visits to Google's advertising domains	its own cookies, for example _gcl_au on our domain, for the periods Google sets

These platforms act as independent controllers of the data their tags collect, under their own privacy notices.

Where they never load. The legal pages (this policy, the Privacy Policy and the Terms), the beta access page and the pages that answer a beta access request never load advertising tags, whatever you choose. Their security policy does not even allow it.

Signals we honour. If your browser sends Global Privacy Control or Do Not Track, we treat it as "Reject non-essential" and load no advertising tag.

Changing your choice

Use the "Cookie settings" link at the bottom of every page. It offers the same three choices as the banner: "Accept all", "Reject non-essential" and "Customize". Without JavaScript, nothing optional ever loads, and the link brings you to this section.

If you withdraw an acceptance, the page reloads so that the tags already loaded stop running, and we delete the advertising cookies on our own domain that we know of (such as _rdt_uuid and _gcl_au). Cookies the platforms set on their own domains can only be deleted in your browser's settings.
