Cookie Policy

Last Updated: February 2026

This Cookie Policy explains how Naturmen uses cookies and similar technologies on our website. We are committed to transparency about our data practices and compliance with applicable regulations including GDPR and Consent Mode v2.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently and provide information to website owners.

Cookies can be:

  • Session cookies: Temporary cookies that expire when you close your browser
  • Persistent cookies: Cookies that remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them
  • First-party cookies: Set by the website you are visiting
  • Third-party cookies: Set by a different domain than the one you are visiting

2. What Cookies We Use

Naturmen uses only essential cookies that are strictly necessary for the website to function properly. We do not use:

  • Advertising cookies
  • Marketing cookies
  • Analytics or tracking cookies
  • Social media cookies
  • Profiling cookies

2.1 Essential Cookies We Use

Cookie Consent Preference

Purpose: Remembers your acceptance of our cookie notice so it doesn't appear again on subsequent visits

Type: Persistent, first-party

Duration: Persistent (stored in browser local storage until cleared)

Data Stored: Boolean value indicating acceptance

These essential cookies do not collect personal information and are necessary for basic website functionality. Under GDPR and ePrivacy regulations, essential cookies do not require explicit consent as they are strictly necessary for the service you have requested.

3. Google Consent Mode v2 Compliance

Our website is designed to comply with Google Consent Mode v2 requirements. Since we use only essential cookies and do not implement Google Analytics, Google Ads, or other Google marketing tools, the following consent states apply by default:

  • analytics_storage: Denied (we do not use analytics)
  • ad_storage: Denied (we do not use advertising)
  • ad_user_data: Denied (we do not collect ad-related user data)
  • ad_personalization: Denied (we do not personalize advertisements)

We do not load Google tags or tracking scripts on this website.

4. Why We Don't Use Tracking Cookies

In alignment with our mission as an educational resource, we have made the deliberate choice not to use tracking, analytics, or advertising cookies. This decision reflects our commitment to:

  • User privacy and data protection
  • Transparent, non-commercial operations
  • Minimal data collection practices
  • Simplified user experience without tracking

5. Browser Storage

In addition to cookies, we use browser local storage to store your cookie consent preference. Local storage functions similarly to cookies but:

  • Is not transmitted to the server with each request
  • Remains stored until explicitly cleared by you
  • Is accessible only by our website domain

The only data stored in local storage is your acceptance of this cookie notice.

6. Your Cookie Choices

6.1 Managing Our Cookies

Since we only use essential cookies necessary for website functionality, blocking these cookies may prevent the website from working properly. The cookie consent preference can be cleared by:

  • Clearing your browser's local storage
  • Clearing your browser's browsing data/history
  • Using your browser's developer tools to manually delete the storage item

6.2 Browser Settings

Most web browsers allow you to manage cookies through their settings. You can typically:

  • View what cookies are stored
  • Delete existing cookies
  • Block cookies from being set
  • Set preferences for specific websites

7. Third-Party Services

Our website does not integrate with third-party services that set cookies. We do not use:

  • Google Analytics or other analytics platforms
  • Advertising networks or remarketing tools
  • Social media plugins or sharing buttons
  • Third-party content delivery networks that set cookies
  • Embedded content from other domains

8. Changes to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. Any changes will be posted on this page with a new "Last Updated" date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
