Cookie Policy
Which cookies Meta Glasses Converter sets, what each one is for, and how to change your choice at any time
Version 1.7 · Last updated 2026-09-03
1. What cookies and similar technologies are
A cookie is a small text file that a website asks your browser to store on your device. On each later request the browser sends it back, which is how a site can remember which language you picked.
"Similar technologies" covers anything else that stores or reads information on your device, or that identifies your browser without storing anything, such as local storage or a script that measures page views. We use the phrase throughout this policy because three of the analytics tools listed below work without setting any cookie at all, and the law still applies to what they do.
This policy covers glassesconverter.org. It does not cover the sites we link to.
2. The cookies we set
The tables below list the cookies Meta Glasses Converter sets directly, together with the analytics cookies our providers set on our instructions. They are not an exhaustive list of everything a third party may set: where a provider sets further cookies of its own, we say so and link to that provider's documentation rather than reproduce a list we have not verified.
Which of these you actually get depends on what you do on the site and on which features are switched on, and you will not receive any analytics cookie unless you have consented to the analytics category.
Set by Meta Glasses Converter
| Name | Category | What it is for | How long it lasts |
|---|---|---|---|
PARAGLIDE_LOCALE | Strictly necessary | Records the language you chose, so that pages load in that language on your next visit | 400 days |
cookie_consent | Strictly necessary | Records your cookie choice: the version of the notice, whether you allowed the analytics category, and when you decided. It is what stops the banner appearing again, and what the site checks before loading any analytics script | 365 days |
sidebar_state | Strictly necessary | This cookie is written when you expand or collapse the sidebar on a desktop-sized screen. It is currently written but not read back: the sidebar always loads collapsed, so the value has no effect on what you see. We keep writing it because restoring that preference is a change we may make, and the value is a single word you chose yourself | 7 days |
Cookies we do not control
This policy covers what happens on glassesconverter.org. It does not cover cookies set on a third-party site we link to, or any further cookie a provider named above sets beyond the ones listed here. Those are governed by that party's own cookie and privacy policies, not by this one.
3. The categories we use
Strictly necessary
These make the site work: remembering your language, remembering your cookie choice itself. They do not track you, and they are not used for advertising.
They cannot be switched off through the banner, because without them the service cannot do what you asked it to do. You can still block them in your browser, but parts of the site will stop working.
Analytics
These tell us which pages are used and where people get stuck, so we can improve the product. The providers in this category set cookies, so they are only loaded after you consent, and they are never loaded before the banner has been answered.
Cookieless measurement is not in this category and is not covered by the toggle, for the reason given in section 2.
You can withdraw this consent at any time; see section 4.
Marketing
These would be set by advertising partners to build a profile of your interests and to measure advertising campaigns across sites.
This site does not use them. No advertising or remarketing technology is installed. If that ever changes, this policy and the consent banner will be updated first, and we will ask for your consent before any such cookie is set.
4. How to manage your choices
The banner. On your first visit you are asked to accept or reject the analytics category, or to open the preferences dialog and choose per category. The reject button carries the same visual weight and takes the same single click as the accept button, and nothing in the analytics category is loaded until you have chosen. The banner appears only where a cookie-setting analytics provider is configured; a site running only cookieless measurement has nothing to ask you and shows no banner.
The "Cookie preferences" link. Where analytics is in use on this site, a "Cookie preferences" link is available on every page: at the bottom of the footer on our public pages, and at the bottom of the page on pages that have no footer. Use it to change your mind or to withdraw consent entirely, at any time, without contacting us. When you withdraw consent, the page reloads so that any analytics script already running is stopped, and the analytics cookies we know about are removed.
Your browser. Every major browser lets you block or delete cookies: Chrome, Firefox, Safari and Edge. Blocking strictly necessary cookies will make the language switch and the sidebar forget what you chose.
Opting out at the provider. Independently of the choice you make here:
- Cloudflare Web Analytics sets no cookies and does not fingerprint you, so there is nothing to opt out of at its end either, and rejecting the analytics category does not stop it. A browser-level content blocker will stop the beacon, and you can object to us at support@fishwiththemoon.uk under Article 21 of the UK GDPR. Cloudflare's handling of the data is covered by its own policy: cloudflare.com/privacypolicy.
- Plausible and Umami set no cookies and build no cross-site profile, so there is nothing to opt out of at their end, and rejecting the analytics category does not stop them. Our Plausible runs on our own server rather than on the vendor's, so there is no third party to opt out of at all. If you object to this measurement, a browser-level content blocker will stop the script, and you can contact us at support@fishwiththemoon.uk to exercise your right to object under Article 21 of the UK GDPR.
5. If you say no to analytics
Nothing breaks. Every feature of Meta Glasses Converter works exactly the same whether you accept analytics or not. We do not restrict content, degrade the service, or keep asking. The only difference is that no analytics cookie is placed on your device and your visit is not counted by the cookie-setting providers. Cookieless measurement, which stores nothing on your device either way, continues; section 2 explains why and section 4 explains how to object.
6. Changes and contact
We update this policy whenever the set of cookies changes. Where a change is material we will ask for your consent again through the banner. The version number and date at the top of this page tell you which text is currently in force.
For anything about cookies, or about privacy generally, write to support@fishwiththemoon.uk. Our full privacy notice is the Privacy Policy.
