What cookies we use, why, and how to control them.

What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files stored in your browser. They allow websites to remember information about your visit, such as whether you are logged in or whether you have accepted our cookie policy.

Cookies We Use

Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are required for Vented to function. They include your session token (to keep you logged in) and security cookies. You cannot opt out of these cookies as they are essential to the service.

Preference Cookies

We store your cookie consent choice in localStorage so we do not ask you again. This is not a tracking cookie — it simply records your preference.

Advertising Cookies (Optional)

If you accept cookies, Vented displays ads via Google AdSense. Google uses cookies including DoubleClick cookies to show you relevant ads based on your browsing behaviour. These cookies are only set if you click “Accept” on our cookie banner.

If you click “Decline”, no advertising cookies are set and no ads are shown.

Google AdSense

We use Google AdSense to display advertisements. Google may use cookies to personalise ads based on your interests. For more information on how Google uses your data, visit Google's Privacy Policy.

To opt out of personalised advertising, visit Google Ad Settings or the Digital Advertising Alliance opt-out.

How to Control Cookies

In your browser: most browsers allow you to view, delete, and block cookies via Settings → Privacy. Note that blocking necessary cookies will prevent you from staying logged in.
