Cookie Choices • Analytics • Advertising • Third-Party Services
This Cookie Policy explains how CondomChart.com may use cookies and similar storage or access technologies when you visit the website. It describes the main categories of technologies that may be used, why they may be used, when consent may be requested, how you can change your choices, and how browser or device controls may affect cookies.
A cookie is a small text file that a website can place on your computer, phone, tablet or other device when you visit. Cookies can help a website remember information about your visit, such as preferences, consent choices, session details or whether you have already seen a notice.
Some cookies are deleted when you close your browser. These are often called session cookies. Others remain for a defined period or until you delete them and are commonly called persistent cookies. Cookies set directly by the website you are visiting are usually called first-party cookies. Cookies set through an external service are commonly called third-party cookies.
Privacy rules can also apply to technologies that are not technically cookies. Depending on the site configuration, these may include local storage, session storage, tracking pixels, scripts, tags, SDK-style technologies, link decoration, device identifiers or other technologies that store or access information on a device.
Supports core website functions, security, sessions or consent records.
May remember user-facing choices such as settings or display preferences.
May help understand traffic, page use and website performance.
May support advertising, measurement, attribution or personalisation where enabled.
CondomChart.com may use cookies or similar technologies for several purposes. Some may be required to keep the website secure and functional. Others may be used only when you have made a choice through a cookie banner, consent tool or comparable control.
| Category | Possible Purpose | Typical Status | Examples |
|---|---|---|---|
| Strictly Necessary | Core operation, security, fraud prevention, load balancing, consent records | May be used without optional-cookie consent where legally exempt | Session or consent-preference cookies |
| Preferences | Remember language, display or interface choices | May require consent depending on necessity and jurisdiction | Saved site preferences |
| Analytics | Understand visits, page performance and aggregate usage | Generally treated as optional unless a specific legal exemption applies | Traffic measurement tools |
| Advertising | Ad delivery, frequency capping, attribution, measurement or personalisation | Generally optional and consent-dependent where required | Advertising or ad-measurement technologies |
| Embedded Content | Display third-party video, maps, social widgets or other external content | Depends on whether the service accesses device information | Video or social-media embeds |
Strictly necessary technologies are those required to provide a service you have requested or to perform a function that is essential to the website. Depending on the site setup, this may include security controls, load balancing, session continuity, anti-abuse measures, remembering your cookie choices or other technical functions without which the website would not operate as intended.
Under current UK guidance, some storage and access technologies can qualify for legal exemptions when they are strictly necessary. Similar distinctions exist under European ePrivacy rules. Even where consent is not required, we aim to describe such technologies clearly.
If analytics is enabled, CondomChart.com may use analytics technologies to understand how visitors use pages, which guides receive traffic, whether errors occur, how long pages take to load, what device or browser categories are used, and how users move through the website.
Analytics may involve information such as approximate location derived from IP address, device type, browser type, page URL, referrer information, timestamps, interaction events or pseudonymous identifiers. The exact data depends on the analytics provider and configuration.
Where applicable law requires consent for analytics storage or access technologies, those tools should not be activated until the relevant choice is made. You may also be able to withdraw your preference later through the site's cookie settings.
If advertising is used on CondomChart.com, advertising partners may use cookies or similar technologies for purposes such as delivering ads, measuring impressions or clicks, preventing repeated ads, detecting fraud, understanding campaign performance, limiting ad frequency or—where permitted and consented to—personalising advertising.
Advertising technologies can be more privacy-sensitive because they may involve identifiers used across pages, services or devices. Current UK guidance distinguishes online advertising and profiling uses from strictly necessary storage technologies, and personalised advertising based on storage/access technologies generally requires valid consent.
If the site's configuration changes to include or remove advertising partners, the live consent tool or cookie list may be updated accordingly.
Some website functions may be provided by third parties. Examples could include analytics providers, advertising networks, embedded video players, social-media content, content-delivery tools, security providers or other service integrations.
Third parties may set their own cookies or use other technologies subject to their own privacy notices and cookie policies. CondomChart.com does not control the contents of a third party's privacy policy or all changes that a third party may make to its technology.
Where feasible, optional third-party content or tracking should be blocked until the relevant consent choice has been made.
Necessary technologies can support core functions; optional technologies should follow your applicable consent choices.
Where consent is legally required, a cookie banner or consent-management interface may allow you to accept, reject or customise optional technologies. Valid consent should involve a clear and informed choice rather than being assumed simply because you continued browsing.
Current UK ICO guidance requires clear and comprehensive information and appropriate control over non-exempt storage technologies. EU consent standards similarly emphasise that consent should be freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous, and that withdrawal should be possible.
If a “Cookie Settings”, “Privacy Choices” or similar control is available on the site, you can use it to review or change your preferences. Changing a preference may not automatically delete cookies that were already stored, so you may also wish to clear them through your browser.
Most modern browsers let you control cookies directly. Depending on your browser, you may be able to delete existing cookies, block all cookies, block third-party cookies, clear site data when you close the browser, allow cookies only for selected websites or use private browsing modes.
Blocking all cookies may affect website functionality. For example, some necessary cookies may be used to remember security or consent settings. If you clear all site data, your cookie preferences may also be erased and you may be asked to choose again.
Browsers and privacy tools may send signals such as Global Privacy Control (GPC) or Do Not Track (DNT). Legal recognition and technical support for these signals vary by jurisdiction, browser and service provider.
Where a legally recognised opt-out signal applies to a particular processing activity, the site should respect it as required by applicable law. However, DNT in particular is not implemented as a universal legal or technical standard across all jurisdictions.
You should still use the site's cookie controls and browser settings where available if you want direct control over cookies.
Cookies can have different lifetimes. Some last only for a browsing session, while others may remain for days, months or another defined period. The duration should be appropriate to the purpose of the technology and should not be longer than reasonably necessary.
If the site uses a consent-management platform that provides a live cookie inventory, it may show the duration associated with each cookie. Third-party providers may also publish their own retention periods, which can change over time.
This policy uses the word “cookies” for convenience, but similar privacy rules can apply to other technologies that store information on, or access information from, your device.
Examples include HTML5 local storage, session storage, tracking pixels, SDK technologies, tags, scripts, browser identifiers, device fingerprinting techniques and navigational tracking methods. The legal treatment depends on the technology, purpose and jurisdiction.
Where these technologies are functionally equivalent to non-essential cookies, they may be included in the same consent controls.
Some cookie data may be considered personal data when it identifies or can reasonably be linked to an individual or device. Examples can include IP addresses, cookie identifiers, advertising identifiers or combinations of device and browsing information.
Where personal data is processed through cookies or similar technologies, the site's Privacy Policy should be read together with this Cookie Policy. The Privacy Policy may explain categories of personal data, purposes, legal bases, data sharing, retention and applicable privacy rights.
CondomChart.com publishes sexual-health and condom-sizing information. Browsing a page about a sensitive topic does not automatically mean that the site knows anything about your health, identity or sexual behaviour. However, tracking technologies on sensitive-topic websites deserve particular care because browsing patterns can reveal interests or inferences.
For that reason, optional analytics or advertising technologies should be configured conservatively and transparently, and users should be given meaningful choices where required.
Cookie and privacy requirements can be stricter where children are likely to use an online service. If a service is directed toward or likely to be accessed by children, additional age-appropriate design, transparency and consent considerations may apply.
CondomChart.com is intended as informational content and should not use cookie practices to circumvent applicable protections for younger users.
This Cookie Policy may be updated when laws, regulatory guidance, site functions, vendors or cookie practices change. The “Last updated” date near the top of this page shows when this version was revised.
If a change materially affects your choices or requires fresh consent, the site may present an updated banner or request new preferences as appropriate.
If you have a question about this Cookie Policy, cookie choices or privacy practices, use the site's Contact page. For broader information about how personal data is handled, read the Privacy Policy.
This Cookie Policy is intended to provide transparent website information and is not legal advice. Website operators should periodically audit the actual technologies installed on the site and ensure the live consent configuration matches this policy.
