Cookie Policy — College Avenue

This Cookie Policy explains how College Avenue uses cookies and similar technologies, and how you can control them. It supplements our Privacy Policy.

1. What cookies are

Cookies are small text files stored on your device. We also use browser storage (localStorage) for preferences. Together they help the site work, remember your choices, and — with your consent — measure traffic and support advertising.

2. Consent first

When you first visit, a banner lets you Accept, Reject or Manage non-essential cookies. Analytics and advertising cookies load only after you accept them (via Google Consent Mode). You can change your choice at any time using the “Cookie settings” link in the banner / footer.

3. Categories we use

Strictly necessary — required for the site to function and to remember your consent and theme choice. Always on. Examples: ca_consent, ca_consent_at, ca-theme, ca_splash_shown.
Analytics — help us understand how visitors use the site. Examples: Google Analytics 4 / Google Tag Manager (_ga, _ga_*).
Advertising — used to measure and personalise ads. Examples: Google Ads (_gcl_*) and Meta Pixel (_fbp).

4. Managing cookies

Besides our consent banner, you can control cookies through your browser settings (block or delete cookies). Blocking strictly-necessary cookies may stop parts of the site from working.
