Cookie Policy

Last updated: August 7, 2026

A cookie is a small text file a website stores on your device. This page lists what House Bug Guide uses them for. For how we handle the data behind them, see our Privacy Policy.

Cookies we use

• Analytics (Google Analytics, via Google Site Kit). Counts visits and pages read, so we know which guides are useful and which need work. Doesn’t identify you by name.
• Advertising (Google AdSense) — not yet active. Once we start running ads, Google and its ad partners may set cookies to serve and measure ads. Visitors in the EU, EEA, and UK will see a consent banner and can decline personalized ads before this cookie is set. Until ads launch, this category doesn’t apply.

We don’t use cookies for logins, comments, or shopping carts — the site doesn’t have any of those features.

Cookies we don’t use

No third-party font or video embeds run on this site, so nothing outside Google Analytics and (in the future) Google AdSense sets a cookie here.

Managing cookies

You can block or delete cookies at any time through your browser’s settings, or opt out of Google Analytics specifically with the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on. Blocking analytics cookies won’t affect your ability to read any guide on this site.

Changes to this policy

We’ll update this list if the cookies we use change — most notably once advertising goes live. The date at the top reflects the last update.
