Cookie Policy

Version 2026-07-15.1 · Inventory last verified 2026-07-15

GuestGate uses a small number of first-party technologies. Optional categories are OFF until you enable them, and you can change your choice any time in Cookie Settings. No advertising or analytics trackers are currently active anywhere on the site; if any are ever added, they must pass through our consent-gated tag loader and will appear in this inventory first.

Consent choices are recorded in a privacy-minimized log: a random consent ID, timestamp, banner version, the rule set applied (banner, settings page, or Global Privacy Control), and the categories you accepted or rejected. We do not store your full IP address to prove consent.
