1. What Cookies Are
Cookies are small files stored by a browser. Similar technologies can store or read identifiers for security, preferences, service operation, analytics, and advertising. Session cookies expire after a session. Persistent cookies remain until their set expiration or until you delete them.
2. Cookies Oernoe Uses
Essential
Authentication, security, fraud prevention, request routing, and other core features may require cookies. These functions cannot always operate when essential cookies are blocked. Account cookies belong to account.oernoe.com and the product hosts, not to an advertising file.
Preferences and performance
Optional technologies may remember settings or help us understand page reliability and performance. We do not sell information collected through these technologies. Dismissing the cookie notice stores a first-party flag so the bar stays down; that flag is not an ad identifier.
Advertising
Selected substantial publisher pages on www.oernoe.com may use Google AdSense. Google and its advertising partners may use cookies or similar identifiers, IP address, browser and device information, page context, and ad interaction data to serve, secure, limit, and measure contextual or non-personalized ads. Search queries typed at search.oernoe.com are not an input to those units.
3. Where Advertising Is Not Used
The AdSense script is excluded from the homepage, About page, Team, Contact, short journal posts, the journal index, the guides index, editorial standards, login and signup screens, account and application pages, legal pages, error pages, and Oernoe service subdomains such as Search, Chat, Drive, Docs, Health, Tracker, and Account. Application shells such as /mail, /console, and /dashboard send a noindex header and do not load ads.
3a. Eligible publisher pages
Ads may load on How-To; the finished guides including How Search works, Search queries and Google ads, Using an account, What we publish, Which hostname does what, Corrections, and How a privacy request is handled; and journal articles that still pass originality and length checks. ads.txt at the site root names pub-9477175344230263. Pages carry a google-adsense-account meta tag so Google can verify the publisher even when a given URL has no unit.
4. Consent and Regional Choices

For visitors in the European Economic Area, United Kingdom, and Switzerland, Google Privacy & messaging in the AdSense account may present a consent message when that Google product is enabled. Until required consent is given, ads remain non-personalized. Users may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Ads Settings at https://adssettings.google.com/. Alternatively, users may opt out of some third-party vendors’ use of cookies for personalized advertising by visiting www.aboutads.info.
5. Managing Cookies and Ads
