This Cookie Policy explains how ciphersonline.com (“CiphersOnline”, “the Website”, “we”) uses cookies, local storage and similar technologies. It should be read together with our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service.
What are cookies and similar technologies?
Cookies are small files stored by your browser. Similar technologies include local storage, session storage, pixels, tags and scripts that can store or read information on your device or help us understand how the Website is used.
Consent model
When you first visit the Website, we ask for your choice before optional categories are enabled. Continuing to browse the Website does not mean that you consent to optional cookies or similar technologies. You can accept all, reject all, or manage categories separately. You can change your choice at any time using the “Cookie settings” link in the footer.

Google Consent Mode
Where Google tags are enabled, the Website maps your choices to Google Consent Mode. Analytics consent controls analytics_storage. Marketing consent controls ad_storage, ad_user_data and ad_personalization. Preferences consent controls functionality_storage and personalization_storage. Security storage remains enabled because it is necessary.
For users in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland, Google may require a Google-certified consent management platform integrated with the IAB Transparency and Consent Framework for AdSense advertising. We may use such a platform where required.
Yandex Metrica and Yandex advertising
Yandex Metrica is not initialized unless Analytics consent is granted. If Analytics is denied, the Website sets Yandex Metrica’s documented disable flag before initialization. Yandex advertising scripts are loaded only after Marketing consent.
Changing or withdrawing consent
You can change your cookie choices at any time through the “Cookie settings” link in the footer. If you reject Preferences, known preference keys such as favorite tools and tool settings are removed from local storage. If you withdraw Analytics or Marketing after a third-party script has already loaded, we apply the new consent state immediately and stop optional new calls where possible, but your browser may keep already loaded third-party resources until the page is refreshed.
Browser controls
You can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings. Blocking necessary cookies may cause account, security or tool functions to work incorrectly.
Policy updates
We may update this Cookie Policy when technologies, providers or legal requirements change. The updated version becomes effective when published on this page.
