Cookie policy
Every cookie this site can set, what it is for, and how long it lasts. Short, because the list is short.
The short version
We set one cookie without asking — the one that remembers your answer to this question. Everything else waits for you to say yes, and does nothing at all if you say no. There is no third-party consent vendor here: the banner is ours, so rejecting costs exactly one click and nothing loads in the background while you decide.
Your answer is remembered for 6 months, and it is stored against proxypanda.io rather than against one page, so it also answers for the dashboard at app.proxypanda.io. You will not be asked twice.
What we set
| Cookie | Category | Set by | What it is for | Lasts |
|---|---|---|---|---|
cookie_consent | Strictly necessary | ProxyPanda (first party) | Records the answer you gave on the cookie banner, and when you gave it, so you are not asked again and so we can show what you agreed to. Scoped to proxypanda.io, which is what carries your answer across to the dashboard at app.proxypanda.io. | 6 months |
referrerCode | Marketing | ProxyPanda (first party) | Remembers which partner's referral link brought you here, so that partner is credited if you go on to open an account. Set only if you allow marketing cookies, and only when you arrive on a link carrying a referral code. Scoped to proxypanda.io so it still applies when you register on app.proxypanda.io. | 30 days |
ad_click | Marketing | ProxyPanda (first party) | Remembers which Google or X (Twitter) advert click brought you here — the gclid, gbraid, wbraid or twclid on the link you arrived on — so an account you go on to open can be matched to the advert we paid for. Set only if you allow marketing cookies, and only when you arrive from an advert. Scoped to proxypanda.io so it still applies on app.proxypanda.io. | 90 days |
_ga | Analytics | Google Analytics 4, loaded through Google Tag Manager | Tells one browser from another, so a person who reads three pages is counted once rather than three times. | 2 years |
_ga_<property> | Analytics | Google Analytics 4, loaded through Google Tag Manager | Holds the state of the current visit for one GA4 property. The suffix is the property id. | 2 years |
_gcl_au | Marketing | Google Ads, loaded through Google Tag Manager | Records which advert click brought you here, so we can tell which campaigns are worth paying for. Set only if you allow marketing cookies. | 90 days |
Who else sees it
Only once you have allowed the matching category. Until then, no request is made to any of them.
| Company | Products | What they do for us |
|---|---|---|
| Google Ireland Limited | Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics 4, Google Ads | Measures site usage and advert performance on our behalf. |
Changing your mind
Cookie settings in the footer of every page reopens the panel, including the option to turn everything back off. Withdrawing has to be as easy as giving, which is why it is on every page rather than only on this one.
Clearing your browser’s cookies for proxypanda.io also clears the record of your answer, and we will ask again on your next visit.
What we deliberately do not do
- No cookie is set before you answer, other than the record of the answer itself.
- No “legitimate interest” category that is switched on by default and has to be found and turned off.
- Nothing here reads the traffic you send through the proxies. That is a different system, and the privacy policy covers what it does and does not record.
Something here unclear?
Ask in Discord and we will explain it in plain English. If the wording is confusing, we will rewrite it.
