Cookie Policy
We use essential cookies (e.g., authentication) and advertising cookies via Google AdSense. This cookie policy is part of Stolen Register's privacy policy.
If you don’t wish to accept cookies, you can configure your browser to block them. Some features (like sign‑in) and ad display may not work as expected.
What is a cookie?
A cookie is a small piece of data that a website stores on your device when you visit, typically containing information about the website itself, a unique identifier that allows the site to recognise your web browser when you return, additional data that serves the purpose of the cookie, and the lifespan of the cookie itself.
Cookies are used to enable certain features (eg. logging in), to track site usage (eg. analytics), to store your user settings (eg. timezone, notification preferences), and to personalise your content (eg. advertising, language).
Cookies set by the website you are visiting are normally referred to as “first-party cookies”, and typically only track your activity on that particular site. Cookies set by other sites and companies (ie. third parties) are called “third-party cookies”, and can be used to track you on other websites that use the same third-party service.
Types of cookies and how we use them

Performance, functionality, and advertising cookies
We do not use analytics (performance) cookies. We do use advertising cookies to deliver and measure ads via Google AdSense. In the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland they are set only if you consent.
Third-party cookies
Google AdSense and its partners may set cookies to deliver ads. See Google’s Ads policy and your Ads Settings to manage personalization.
Our content delivery and security provider may set strictly necessary cookies to protect the site and its forms. These are not used for advertising.
How you can control or opt out of cookies
If you visit from the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom or Switzerland, a message from Google asks whether you consent to advertising cookies. If you do not consent, we still show ads, but they are not personalised, and Google uses a cookie and local storage only to detect invalid traffic such as fraud and abuse. Google stores your choice in a cookie so that you are not asked on every page. You can change your choice at any time with the Cookie Settings link at the bottom of the page.
Elsewhere, advertising cookies are used without a consent message. You can manage ad personalisation in your Google Ads Settings, linked above.
If you do not wish to accept cookies from us, you can instruct your browser to refuse cookies from our website. Most browsers are configured to accept cookies by default, but you can update these settings to either refuse cookies altogether, or to notify you when a website is trying to set or update a cookie.
If you browse websites from multiple devices, you may need to update your settings on each individual device.
Although some cookies can be blocked with little impact on your experience of a website, blocking all cookies may mean you are unable to access certain features and content across the sites you visit.
