Cookie Policy

1. What are cookies

Cookies are small text files stored in your browser when you visit a website.

2. Cookies we use

imposterhunter.com uses Google Analytics 4 (GA4) for aggregated traffic measurement. GA4 loads only after you explicitly accept via the consent banner shown on your first visit.

The ih-cookie-consent flag is strictly necessary to honour your consent choice and is exempt from consent requirements under GDPR Article 6(1)(f) + ePrivacy Directive Article 5(3). All Google Analytics cookies are loaded only if you accept in the banner.

3. Lawful basis

GA4 is loaded under your explicit consent (GDPR Article 6(1)(a)). You may withdraw consent at any time by clearing cookies for this site or by using your browser's site-data controls.

4. Data flow

Google Analytics 4

GA4 sends pseudonymous event data to Google servers. We have configured GA4 with:

• anonymize_ip: true: IPs are truncated before storage
• allow_google_signals: false: no Google-signals cross-device tracking
• allow_ad_personalization_signals: false: no advertising personalization

Google Ireland Limited acts as data processor in the EU; Google LLC acts as sub-processor in the US. International transfers are governed by the EU Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs).

5. Strictly necessary cookies

Some storage is required for the site to function. The ih-cookie-consent flag above is one example. These are exempt from the consent requirement under GDPR Article 6(1)(f) + ePrivacy Directive Article 5(3).

6. Your choices

You can:

• Reject in our consent banner: GA4 will not load.
• Accept in our consent banner: GA4 loads with the privacy settings above.
• Withdraw consent by clearing cookies and site data for this domain in your browser.
• Disable cookies entirely in your browser settings; the site continues to function with reduced features.

7. Do Not Sell My Information

Under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), California residents have the right to opt out of the sale of their personal information. ImposterHunter does not sell personal information as defined by the CCPA. We use Google Analytics with privacy hardening (IP anonymization, no Google Signals, no ad personalization signals) only when you click Accept analytics. You can opt out at any time by clicking Reject analytics in the cookie banner, or by clicking Cookie preferences in the footer to revisit your choice.
