Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains the controls currently used on exstarhub.com. Updated 1 October 2026.

Essential site operation

WordPress and our hosting/security services may use essential session and security cookies, for example when an administrator signs in. These are separate from optional audience analytics.

Your analytics choice

The Privacy choices panel offers Accept analytics and Reject analytics. Google Analytics is not loaded by this theme before acceptance. Reading articles and using site navigation do not require acceptance.

Your choice and its timestamp are stored locally in this browser under ehs_analytics_consent_v1 for up to 180 days. This preference is not an account-wide setting. Clearing site storage or using another browser can show the choice again.

Optional Google Analytics

After acceptance, Google Analytics can use cookies such as _ga and _ga_* to measure visits and usage. Google describes its processing in How Google uses information from sites that use its services.

Change or withdraw your choice

Choose Privacy choices at the bottom of any page, then Reject analytics. The site stops its analytics tag, clears its accessible Google Analytics cookies and reloads if the tag was already running. This stops subsequent tracking by our tag; it does not delete data already received by Google. You can also manage or clear cookies and local storage in your browser.

Other websites and more information

Our social buttons open external websites with their own privacy and cookie controls. See our Privacy Policy and Contact page for further information.
