Cookies and consent
Which cookies Digital Apricot uses, why, and how to change your choice. Last updated November 6, 2026.
This page explains the cookies set when you visit https://digitalapricot.io and how your consent works. The full picture of what data is collected is in our privacy policy.
Your choice
If you visit from the European Economic Area, the UK or Switzerland, Google shows a consent message on your first visit. Until you answer it, Google's advertising and analytics cookies are not set: ads that load are non-personalised, and analytics only receives cookieless signals. If you agree, personalised ads and analytics cookies are allowed. If you decline, they stay off. You can change your mind at any time:
No consent message applies in your region. You can still block cookies in your browser.
Outside those regions, cookies are allowed by default. You can block or delete them in your browser settings, and opt out of personalised ads at Google Ads Settings.
The cookies we use
We set no cookies of our own. All of the cookies below are set by Google.
Consent
Google's consent message stores your answer so it isn't asked again on every page. This is necessary for the consent to work and is set only where the message is shown.
Analytics (Google Analytics 4)
Cookies named _ga and _ga_* tell visits apart, so we can count readers, see which guides they read and which product buttons they click. _ga lasts up to two years. Nothing that identifies you, such as your name or email address, is sent.
Advertising (Google AdSense)
Google and its partners use cookies, including the DoubleClick cookie and AdSense cookies such as __gads and __gpi, to show ads, limit how often you see them, measure them and, with your consent, personalise them. See how Google uses information from sites that use its services.
Not cookies, but worth knowing
- Amazon links carry our affiliate tag in the URL. Amazon's own cookies apply once you are on Amazon.
- The newsletter form sends your email address to Buttondown only when you submit it.
- Fonts load from Google Fonts, which receives your IP address to serve them but sets no cookies.
