3. How to Control Cookies
3.1 Cookie banner
When you first visit PropyBot, a cookie banner allows you to accept or decline optional cookies
(Analytics and External content). Your choice is stored in the cookiebanner cookie.
You can change your decision at any time by clearing cookies in your browser and revisiting
the site — the banner will appear again.
3.2 Browser settings
Most browsers allow you to control cookies via their settings. You can typically:
- See which cookies are stored and delete them individually
- Block third-party cookies
- Block all cookies (note: this will prevent login and most site functionality)
- Delete all cookies when closing the browser
Instructions for common browsers:
3.3 Google Analytics opt-out
You can prevent Google Analytics tracking across all websites by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
4. Updates to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy when we add or remove cookies, or when legal requirements change. The current version is always available at this URL. Material changes will be communicated via the cookie banner.
