Cookie policy

AdsAnyway uses a session cookie to keep you logged in, and Google Analytics 4 cookies to see how adsanyway.com is used. The session cookie is required to run the site. Analytics cookies are set by Google in your browser on adsanyway.com when a page loads. This page is the notice.

Cookies we set

• gam_session (first party, HttpOnly, SameSite=Lax, 30 days, Secure on the live site). Holds a random session token so you stay logged in. It is not readable by JavaScript. Logging out deletes it.
• gam_land (first party, HttpOnly, SameSite=Lax, 90 days, Secure on the live site). Holds the first adsanyway.com page you opened in this browser: path, referrer, UTM tags, and listing ids if they were in the URL. We copy that onto your account at signup so we can see which listing or campaign sent you. It is not a remarketing cookie and is not readable by JavaScript.
• _ga and _ga_4T6V8QCDZ6 (first party, set by Google Analytics 4, measurement id G-4T6V8QCDZ6). They tell sessions and browsers apart so we can see which pages, buttons, forms, and listings people use. They are not our login cookie. Google's use of this data is covered by Google's privacy policy.

The session cookie name still starts with gam_ because that is the internal package name. It is an AdsAnyway session, not a Google cookie.

What we do not set

No advertising remarketing pixels, no "remember this ad" cookie on adsanyway.com, no consent-management platform. We do not sell the analytics data.

Embeds on other sites

The publisher snippet loads https://adsanyway.com/ad.js and posts to /api/serve. That is a first-party request to us from the visitor's browser. The serve call counts an impression. It does not set gam_session on the publisher's domain.

How to clear it

Log out to drop the session cookie. Delete cookies for adsanyway.com in your browser to drop the session, the landing cookie, and Google Analytics cookies, or block Google Analytics with your browser or an extension. After you delete the session cookie you will need to log in again.
