Cookie Policy

Last updated: November 11, 2026

This page explains the cookies Legacy Gent uses and how to control them. For everything else about your information, see our Privacy Policy.

What cookies are

Cookies are small text files a website stores in your browser. Some are needed to make a site work. Others help publishers understand their readers or show ads.

How consent works on this site

When you first visit, a banner asks you to accept or decline cookies, or to choose by category. Until you make a choice, only strictly necessary cookies are used, and no analytics, advertising, or embedded video services load. If you decline, they stay off. You can change your choice at any time with the Cookie Settings button at the bottom of every page.

Cookies we use

Strictly necessary

These remember your cookie choice and keep the site working. They do not track you across other sites.

• wpl_consent, wpl_user_preference, wpl_viewed_cookie, consent_version: store your cookie choice so we don’t ask on every page. Up to 12 months.
• wp_consent_*: pass your choice to other tools on the site so they respect it. Up to 12 months.
• wplegalpages-update-notice-*: remember that you have seen the notice that one of our legal pages was updated, so it is not shown again. Session or short-lived.
• comment_author_*: set only if you leave a comment and choose to have your details remembered. Up to 12 months.

Analytics (only if you accept)

• _ga, _ga_*: Google Analytics 4. Distinguish visits so we can count readers and see which articles are useful. Up to 2 years.

Marketing (only if you accept)

• Google AdSense and DoubleClick cookies (for example __gads, __gpi, IDE): used by Google to serve ads, limit how often you see the same ad, measure ad performance, and, if you allow it, personalize ads. Typically up to 13 months.
• YouTube: videos are embedded in privacy-enhanced mode and load only with marketing consent. Once you play a video, YouTube may store information in your browser.

Google publishes details of its advertising cookies at policies.google.com/technologies/cookies. You can manage personalized ads at Google’s Ads Settings.

Affiliate links

We do not set affiliate cookies on Legacy Gent. If you click a link to a retailer such as Amazon, that retailer may set its own cookies on its site to record that you came from us.

Controlling cookies

• Use Cookie Settings at the bottom of any page to accept, decline, or change categories.
• Your browser settings let you block or delete cookies. Blocking strictly necessary cookies means the site cannot remember your choice, so the banner will appear again.

Changes

If we add or remove a tool that uses cookies, we will update this page and the date at the top.
