Cookie Policy

Last updated: October 25, 2026

This Cookie Policy explains how Rick Duncan uses cookies and similar technologies on blog.rickduncan.net. It goes with the Privacy Policy on this site.

What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help the site remember preferences, keep you signed in on admin pages, or (when allowed) measure traffic. Similar tools include local storage used by scripts for the same kinds of purposes.

How this site uses cookies

I use CookieAdmin to show a consent banner and to remember your choice. You can Accept All, Reject All, or Customize which non-essential categories you allow.

Necessary cookies keep the site and consent tool working (for example, remembering that you already chose). These may load without asking.

Functional cookies remember helpful settings that aren’t strictly required. None are relied on for core reading of posts today; any that appear after a cookie scan will be listed in CookieAdmin’s categories.

Analytical cookies measure visits and popular pages. Google Analytics 4 is installed (Site Kit). Analytical cookies from Google load only after you consent. Google Consent Mode is used so Analytics respects that choice.

Marketing cookies track you across sites for ads. This personal blog does not use marketing cookies today.

Your choices

• Use the banner when it appears, or clear site cookies in your browser to see it again
• Reject non-essential cookies; you can still read the blog
• Change your mind later by clearing cookies for blog.rickduncan.net (the floating re-open button on this site is turned off on purpose)

Browser settings can also block or delete cookies. Blocking all cookies may affect login to WordPress admin or other features that need necessary cookies.

Cookie list

CookieAdmin can list cookies by category after a scan. For the short version: expect Necessary cookies for WordPress and consent; Analytical cookies from Google Analytics only if you accept them.

Updates

If I add other tools that set cookies, I’ll update this page and the Privacy Policy, adjust consent settings, and re-scan cookies.
