Cookie policy

Last updated: 30 September 2026.

The short version

OrbitRoam sets no first-party tracking cookies. To remember your privacy choice, we store a single value (orbitroam_consent) in your browser's local storage — it stays on your device and is never sent to us or shared. Accept and Reject are stored the same way and kept for the same period: until you change your choice or clear this site's data.

Nothing loads before you choose. Until you select "Accept", the Google Analytics script is not requested, no request is sent to Google, and no analytics cookie is set. Choosing "Reject" — or ignoring or closing the banner — keeps it that way on every page.

Optional cookies — analytics

We use Google Analytics 4 (measurement ID G-R8BKZDLF1N), only after you choose "Accept" on the consent banner. It then sets these first-party cookies to measure page views and outbound clicks:

• _ga — Google Analytics; distinguishes visitors. Retention: 2 years.
• _ga_R8BKZDLF1N — Google Analytics; keeps the state of your current session. Retention: 2 years.

Retention periods are Google's defaults (see GA4 cookie usage); your browser may shorten them — Chrome caps cookies at 400 days. We run no advertising cookies at all, and advertising signals stay switched off.

Third-party cookies from affiliate links

When you click an affiliate or referral link, the destination provider or its affiliate network (such as Impact or Awin) may set cookies on their own domain to credit the referral if you go on to buy. These cookies are controlled by those third parties and governed by their policies — see our affiliate disclosure and privacy policy.

Managing your choices

Use the Cookie settings button in the footer of every page to reopen the consent banner at any time. Choosing "Reject" there withdraws your consent: Google Analytics stops on that page, the _ga and _ga_R8BKZDLF1N cookies are deleted, and nothing loads on later pages. You can also clear stored data and cookies at any time through your browser settings.
