Cookie Policy

Last updated: June 1, 2026

This page describes the cookies and similar technologies theologosmedia.com uses. You can change your choice at any time via the cookie preferences link — .

Categories we use

Essential cookies (always on)

Required for the site to function. We cannot turn these off and your consent is not needed for them.

  • Authentication. Supabase session cookies that keep you logged in. Expire when your session ends (or in 7 days, whichever is sooner).
  • CSRF tokens. Protect form submissions from cross-site request forgery. Session-lifetime.
  • Consent record. A first-party cookie named tm_consentthat stores your cookie preferences so we don't ask again on every page. Expires in 1 year.

Analytics cookies (opt-in)

Help us understand how readers use the site so we can improve it. We do not use this data for advertising.

  • Google Analytics 4 (_ga, _ga_*). Anonymous session and visitor identification. 14-month retention.

Advertising — measurement (opt-in)

Let advertising platforms tell us whether their campaigns actually reached you, so we can spend the editorial budget on campaigns that work.

  • Google Ads (_gcl_au, _gcl_aw). Conversion attribution. 90 days.
  • Meta Pixel (_fbp). Conversion attribution and audience signal for Meta. 90 days.

Advertising — personalization & retargeting (opt-in)

Allow Google and Meta to remember that you visited so they can show you Theologos content again on Google, YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, and partner networks. Required if you want to opt into remarketing audiences. Off by default.

  • Google Ads remarketing list membership
  • Meta Custom Audiences membership

Personalization storage (opt-in)

Remembers your filter and sort preferences across visits (e.g. which Atlas section you last browsed). No identification, no ad targeting.

  • Local storage entries under the tm_* prefix

Google Consent Mode v2

We participate in Google's Consent Mode v2 framework. Until you make a choice, all advertising and analytics signals are set to “denied” and Google uses statistical modeling (not your actual data) for any campaign measurement. After you choose, the signals upgrade to match your selection.

Changing your preferences

You can reopen the cookie banner at any time with this link: . Choosing “Essential only” will immediately stop new analytics and ad events. Previously captured analytics data is retained for 14 months under the standard GA4 retention setting, then automatically deleted.

Browser-level opt-outs

You can also block cookies at the browser level (see your browser's help pages). Blocking essential cookies will break login and membership. We honor the Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal where supported: if your browser sends GPC, we treat that as a “do not sell or share” signal for California residents and as an opt-out from advertising-related processing in all jurisdictions.
