Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how Sentient Rant (“we”, “our”, “the website”) uses cookies and similar technologies. By using this website, you agree to the use of cookies described below. You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings at any time.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help websites work properly, improve performance, and allow certain features to function.

Cookies used on this website fall into these categories:

  • Essential / Functional cookies
  • Analytics cookies
  • Security & spam-protection cookies
  • Advertising cookies (may be added in the future)

2. Essential & Functional Cookies

These are required for the basic functioning of the website. They do not need user consent under GDPR because they are strictly necessary.

Examples include:

  • Cookies that remember your comment details
  • Cookies used by caching systems (to help pages load faster)
  • Cookies required for security or firewall functions
  • Cookies required for newsletter subscription operation
  • The cookie that remembers whether you have seen or accepted cookie notifications

If you block these cookies, parts of the site may stop working correctly.

3. Analytics Cookies

We use analytics tools to understand how visitors use the website. These cookies help us improve performance and content.

They may collect:

  • page views
  • device type
  • basic interaction details

Analytics are used only for general insights, not personal identification.

If you disable analytics cookies through your browser, the website will continue to work normally.

4. Security & Spam Protection Cookies

Some plugins and tools use cookies to protect the website from spam, bots, and malicious activity.

These may include:

  • firewall cookies
  • comment spam-protection cookies
  • bot-detection cookies

These are considered essential for website security and may not require consent.

5. Advertising Cookies (Future Use)

In the future, Sentient Rant may display ads. Advertising networks may use cookies to:

  • measure ad performance
  • limit how often an ad is shown
  • deliver general or contextual ads

If we enable advertising in the future, this policy will be updated to explain how those cookies work and how you can manage them.

6. Third-Party Cookies

Some features on this website rely on third-party services. These third parties may set their own cookies. They are responsible for their own cookie practices.

  • analytics providers
  • security services
  • sharing or embed tools
  • advertising partners (future use)

We do not control third-party cookies directly.

7. Managing Cookies

You can control or delete cookies at any time through your browser settings.

Most browsers allow you to:

  • view saved cookies
  • block specific cookies
  • block all cookies
  • delete all cookies on exit

Blocking non-essential cookies will not break the site. Blocking essential cookies may affect certain features.

8. Consent for Cookies
