Cookie Policy
Last updated: March 10, 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how IPTruth uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit our website at iptruth.com.
What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help websites remember your preferences, understand how you use the site, and improve your experience. Cookies can be "persistent" (remaining until deleted) or "session" (deleted when you close your browser).
How We Use Cookies
We use cookies for the following purposes:
- Authentication: To keep you signed in and maintain your session
- Preferences: To remember your settings like dark mode preference
- Analytics: To understand how visitors interact with our website
- Security: To detect and prevent fraudulent or unauthorized access
Types of Cookies We Use
Essential Cookies
These cookies are required for the website to function and cannot be disabled. They include session tokens for authentication, CSRF protection tokens, and theme preference storage.
Analytics Cookies
We use Google Analytics 4 (GA4) to collect anonymized data about how visitors use our website. These cookies help us understand page views, session duration, bounce rates, and traffic sources. IP addresses are anonymized before processing.
Preference Cookies
These cookies remember your choices such as dark/light mode preference and any dismissed notifications. They persist across sessions to maintain a consistent experience.
Third-Party Cookies
Google Tag Manager (GTM)
We use Google Tag Manager to manage analytics and marketing tags. GTM itself does not use cookies, but the tags it manages (such as Google Analytics) may set cookies as described above.
Google Analytics 4 (GA4)
GA4 sets cookies to distinguish unique users and sessions. We have enabled IP anonymization and configured GA4 to minimize data collection. Cookies set by GA4 include _ga (2 years) and _ga_* (2 years).
Managing Cookies
You can control and manage cookies in several ways:
- Browser Settings: Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies through their settings menu. Note that blocking essential cookies may affect website functionality.
- Google Analytics Opt-Out: Install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on to prevent GA4 data collection.
- Do Not Track: We respect the Do Not Track (DNT) browser signal. When DNT is enabled, we disable non-essential analytics tracking.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. The "Last updated" date at the top indicates when this policy was last revised.
