This Cookie Policy explains how Gen X Still Standing uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on genxstillstanding.com and related digital properties (the "Website"). Read this alongside our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service, both incorporated by reference.
By continuing to use our Website after our cookie notice appears, you consent to our use of cookies as described here. You can withdraw or change that consent at any time (Section 6).
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help the site function, improve your experience, and give us information about how the site is used. Cookies aren't programs and can't access other information on your device. We may also use related technologies: web beacons/pixel tags (to track email opens or page visits), local/session storage (for preferences and session state), and tracking pixels from advertising platforms (like Meta Pixel) for conversion tracking.
Essential for the Website to function — session management, security tokens, remembering your cookie preferences. These don't require consent and can't be disabled.
Where we use analytics tools (such as Google Analytics), these collect aggregated, anonymized information about which pages are visited, how long, and where visitors come from, to help us improve the site. Examples: `_ga`, `_gid` (Google Analytics).
Remember preferences like language or display settings, and support any chat or support widget we run.
Where we run advertising (currently or in the future, e.g. via Meta or Google Ads), these help deliver relevant ads and measure performance — for example, the Meta Pixel (`_fbp`, `fr`) for Facebook/Instagram retargeting, or Google Ads conversion cookies. If disabled, you'll still see ads, just less targeted ones.
Some pages embed third-party content or tools that may set their own cookies independently, including:
We don't control these third-party cookies — check each provider's own policy.
In short: to keep the site secure and working (essential), to understand how the site performs and where to improve it (analytics), to remember your preferences (functional), and, where we run ads, to reach and measure the right audience (advertising/retargeting).
For visitors in the EEA/UK, non-essential cookies rely on your consent via our cookie banner, which you can withdraw anytime. For U.S. visitors, cookie use is governed by our Privacy Policy and applicable state privacy laws; we honor opt-out rights where they apply (e.g., California's CCPA/CPRA).
When you first visit, you'll see a cookie notice letting you accept all, reject non-essential, or customize by category. Update your choice anytime via the "Cookie Settings" link in our footer (once added to the site).
Most browsers let you block cookies, block third-party cookies only, or clear cookies on close:
Disabling cookies may affect site functionality; strictly necessary cookies can't be disabled without breaking core features.
Our Website doesn't currently respond to browser "Do Not Track" signals, as there's no universal standard for how to interpret them.
Session cookies expire when you close your browser. Persistent cookies stay for a defined period (see examples above) unless you delete them manually. Third-party cookie retention is controlled by the third party that set them.
Our Website isn't directed to children under 13, and we don't knowingly use cookies to collect personal information from children under 13.
We may update this Cookie Policy as our tools or practices change. Material changes will update the "Last Updated" date above.
