COOKIE & TRACKING POLICY
How Pit Culture uses browser storage, analytics, affiliate attribution and other measurement technologies.
Effective: September 27, 2026
Our categories
Strictly necessary technologies support site operation, security, requested features and remembering your privacy choices. These are not switched off by the preference center.
Analytics technologies help us understand traffic, page usage, campaign attribution and site performance. Google Analytics 4 may be used when enabled and when the applicable analytics preference permits it.
Personalization technologies may support optional preferences or third-party experiences beyond what is necessary to deliver the site.
Advertising technologies may support advertising, measurement or retargeting if advertising services are enabled in the future. Pit Culture does not currently need advertising consent merely to display ordinary editorial content.
Affiliate and commerce attribution
Pit Culture may use a Coffee X Media tracking path such as /go/… when you choose a product, merchandise or affiliate link. The redirect can record a placement or click reference on Coffee X Media systems before sending you to the destination. The merchant or affiliate network may then apply its own cookies or tracking under its own privacy practices.
Consent before optional tracking
Pit Culture’s preference controls govern configured analytics and advertising integrations. They do not block YouTube embeds or necessary form security checks described below. Rejecting optional tracking does not prevent access to ordinary Pit Culture content.
Google Analytics
Pit Culture uses Google Analytics 4 on its production website to understand visits and content engagement. Analytics loads only after you enable the analytics preference. You can decline or withdraw that preference using Cookie Settings.
Advertising technologies
Advertising pixels and ad-serving technologies may be added as the network grows. Their presence will be reflected in the active site configuration and this policy. Where consent is required, those technologies will be kept behind the appropriate consent category.
Global Privacy Control
When the browser exposes an enabled Global Privacy Control signal to the site, Pit Culture’s native preference layer keeps the advertising category off. Additional state-specific privacy handling may be added as the network’s advertising and data-sharing activities expand.
Third-party services
YouTube players use privacy-enhanced mode and may connect to YouTube as they load, before playback. The personalization switch does not block these players. Merchants and affiliate networks apply their own privacy practices after you follow their links. Cloudflare Turnstile supports security checks on protected forms and is separate from optional analytics and advertising choices.
Change your choices
You can change your optional analytics, personalization and advertising choices at any time.
You can also reopen the preference center at any time using Cookie Settings in the footer.
Updates
If we materially change the categories or purposes of optional tracking, we can update the consent-policy version so browsers are asked to make a fresh choice.
