Cookie Policy
Last updated: April 27, 2026
This page lists every cookie and browser-storage key that may be set on your device when you use Geography Master. For the broader explanation of how data is processed and your rights under the GDPR, see the Privacy Policy.
You can change your cookie-consent choices at any time using the button below. This will reopen the cookie banner and let you grant or revoke consent for advertising cookies.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that websites place on your device to remember information between visits. localStorage and sessionStorage are similar mechanisms that store data in your browser without using cookies. Some cookies are strictly necessary for a site to work; others are used for analytics or advertising and require your consent in regions covered by the GDPR or similar laws.
Cookies set by Geography Master (first-party)
The site itself sets only one storage key, and it never leaves your device.
| Name | Owner | Type | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| theme | Geography Master | localStorage | Remembers your light/dark theme preference so the site loads in the chosen mode on subsequent visits. | Until cleared by you |
Cookies set by third parties
The site uses Google AdSense to display advertisements and Google's Funding Choices CMP to manage cookie consent. AdSense is loaded only after you have given the appropriate consent (or, where the GDPR does not apply, immediately on page load). The cookies set by Google are listed below; the names and durations come from Google's own cookie documentation and may change over time.
