This Cookie Policy explains how Almagesto uses cookies and similar browser storage on www.almagesto.xyz.

Summary

In normal / privacy-first mode, the site code does not load Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics, advertising pixels or marketing cookies.

In campaign / marketing mode, marketing tags are loaded only after explicit marketing consent. Rejecting consent keeps marketing tags disabled.

Consent Choices

When campaign mode is enabled, the banner offers equal Reject all and Accept all actions plus preferences. Categories are:

• Necessary: always active.
• Analytics privacy-first: cookieless aggregate analytics such as Plausible when configured.
• Marketing / advertising: Google, social ads or conversion tags; off until accepted.

Visitors can reopen the banner through the Privacy settings button after making a choice. Revoking marketing consent updates Google Consent Mode to denied and prevents new marketing events from being sent by the Almagesto analytics layer.

Browser Controls

Visitors can also delete localStorage and cookies through browser settings. If browser storage is cleared, Almagesto may ask for campaign consent again when campaign mode is active.
