Cookie Policy

Last updated: September 27, 2026

1. Scope

This policy covers cookies and similar browser-storage technologies (localStorage, sessionStorage) used by Slightly Technical LLC, 30 N Gould St Ste R, Sheridan, WY 82801, United States, on this website. Questions: privacy@slightlytechnical.rs.

2. The short version

This site sets no marketing cookies and no tracking pixels. By default it stores exactly one thing: your cookie-banner choice. Analytics cookies exist only if you say yes — and you can take that back below, in one click.

3. What we actually store

Strictly necessary

  • st-consent (localStorage) — remembers whether you accepted or declined analytics, so the banner doesn't ask on every visit. Set when you make a choice; stays until you clear your browser storage.

Analytics — Google Analytics 4 and Microsoft Clarity (opt-in only)

If you press "Allow analytics" in the banner — and only then — Google Analytics and Microsoft Clarity load and set these cookies. Declining, or ignoring the banner, means neither script ever loads and none of them exist:

  • _ga — tells returning browsers apart with a random identifier. Expires after 2 years.
  • _ga_* (one per measurement stream) — keeps session state, such as which visit a page view belongs to. Expires after 2 years.
  • _clck — Clarity's identifier for returning browsers. Expires after 1 year.
  • _clsk — links the page views of one Clarity session. Expires after 1 day.
  • Clarity's own domain (clarity.ms) may also set CLID, ANONCHK, MR, MUID and SM on Microsoft's side. Those live on Microsoft's domain, so withdrawing consent here stops new ones but cannot delete them — clear them in your browser settings.

We run Google Analytics with advertising features disabled and IP anonymisation on, and Clarity with its strict text masking, so recordings never contain what you typed. Google's own use of this data is described in Google's cookie documentation, Microsoft's in Clarity's cookie list.

Third-party content you activate

  • Embedded YouTube videos use click-to-load facades: nothing loads from YouTube until you press play. Once you do, YouTube (youtube-nocookie.com) may set its own cookies under its own policy.
  • Donation buttons link out to Stripe and PayPal, which operate their own sites and cookies.

4. Managing your choice

Withdrawing consent is one click — it clears your stored choice, deletes the analytics cookies set on this site, and shows the banner again:

Your current choice: not made yet.

  • Alternatively, clear this site's data in your browser settings — the effect is the same.
  • Google also offers a browser add-on that blocks Google Analytics on every site: tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
  • Your browser settings can block storage entirely; the site works fine without it.

5. Legal basis

Strictly necessary storage runs on legitimate interest; analytics run on your consent, collected before anything loads. See also the Privacy Policy.
