Cookie Policy

Last updated: 4 May 2026

This Cookie Policy explains what cookies and similar technologies are used on MiniLorem (https://minilorem.com), what they do, and how you can control them. It supplements our Privacy Policy.

1. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They allow the site to remember information about your visit — such as your preferences — and to function correctly. "Similar technologies" include local storage, session storage, pixel tags, and web beacons; we treat them all under this policy.

2. How we categorise them

Essential — needed for the Site to work. These don't require consent.
Analytics — help us understand how visitors use the Site so we can improve it. Aggregated and not used to identify individuals.
Advertising — used by advertising partners (Google AdSense and its certified vendors) to show relevant ads and measure performance. These require consent in regions that mandate it.

4. Your choices

Cookie banner

If you are visiting from the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, Switzerland, or another region that requires consent, you'll see a cookie banner the first time you visit. You can:

Accept all — analytics and personalised advertising cookies are enabled.
Reject non-essential — only essential cookies are set; you'll see non-personalised ads instead.
Customise — choose categories individually.

You can change your choices at any time by clearing site data and reloading the page, which will show the banner again.

Browser controls

Most browsers let you block, delete, or be notified about cookies. The exact steps depend on your browser:

Blocking essential cookies may break basic functionality such as theme persistence.

We honour the "Do Not Track" signal where required by law. Some third-party services may not respond to it.

5. Children

MiniLorem is a general-audience site and is not directed at children under 13 (or under 16 in the EEA). We do not knowingly use cookies to profile children.

6. Changes to this policy

We may update this Cookie Policy as our use of cookies and similar technologies changes. The "Last updated" date at the top reflects the latest revision. When changes are material, we'll prompt you to review them via the cookie banner.
