1. What cookies are
A cookie is a small text file placed on your device by a website you visit. Modern websites also use related technologies such as local storage, session storage, and pixel beacons. We use the word “cookies” in this Policy to refer to all of those mechanisms collectively.
Cookies do useful things (remembering preferences, keeping you logged in to other sites) and less useful things (tracking which ads you have seen across multiple sites). This page explains which categories TitlePawn.org uses, what they do, and how to switch them off.
2. Categories of cookies in use
2.1 Strictly necessary cookies
These are required for the basic operation of the Site — for example, to remember whether the mobile menu is open during a single page session. They do not track you across websites and are not used for advertising.
2.2 Analytics cookies (Google Analytics)
We use Google Analytics 4 (account ID G-V3P7TJBBHF) to understand how visitors find and use the Site in aggregate. Google Analytics sets cookies (such as _ga and _ga_*) that assign a pseudonymous identifier to your browser so repeat visits can be measured as one user. The information sent to Google includes your IP address (typically truncated for analytics), the page URL, the referring URL, and event metadata. We do not pass personally identifying information into Google Analytics.
2.3 Advertising cookies (Google AdSense and partners)
The Site may serve advertising through Google AdSense and through third-party ad-network programs that use Google’s ad systems. Google and its partners use cookies and similar technologies to:
- Serve ads based on your prior visits to the Site and other sites you have visited.
- Frequency-cap ads so you don’t see the same one too many times.
- Measure which ads were shown and which were clicked.
Cookie names you may see in this category include __gads, __gpi, NID, IDE, and others Google may add over time. See Google’s cookie reference for current details.
2.4 Embedded third-party content
The Site does not currently embed videos, social-media widgets, or comment systems that load third-party scripts on the page. If we add embedded third-party content in the future, we will update this Policy to describe the cookies those embeds set.
3. How to control cookies
3.1 Browser settings
All major browsers let you block or delete cookies. Where you find that control depends on your browser:
Blocking strictly necessary cookies may break some Site functionality. Blocking analytics and advertising cookies will not block access to Site content.
3.2 Opt out of personalized advertising
You can opt out of personalized advertising by Google at Google Ad Settings. You can opt out of personalized advertising from many participating ad networks at:
- United States: aboutads.info/choices (Digital Advertising Alliance) and optout.networkadvertising.org (Network Advertising Initiative).
- European Economic Area / United Kingdom: youronlinechoices.com.
- Canada: youradchoices.ca.
3.3 Global Privacy Control and Do Not Track
Many browsers can broadcast a “Global Privacy Control” signal indicating that you do not want your information shared for cross-context advertising. Where applicable law requires it, we treat that signal as a request to opt out under that law.
4. Changes to this Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. The “Last reviewed on” date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision.
