Cookie Policy

Cookies are small files a website stores in your browser. Similar technologies (local storage, pixels) work in a comparable way; this policy covers them too. Last updated: September 24, 2026.

What we use

Strictly necessary. Cloudflare may set security cookies (such as __cf_bm and cf_clearance) to tell people from bots and protect the site. The consent tool stores your privacy choices (for example the IAB consent string) so it does not ask again on every page. These do not need consent.
Analytics. Google Analytics 4 uses cookies such as _ga and _ga_* to count visits and see which pages are read. Where consent is required, they are only set after you allow analytics.
Advertising. Ezoic, our ad platform, and its partners (including Google) use cookies and identifiers to serve ads, limit how often you see them, measure performance and, if you allow it, personalise them. Ezoic cookies usually have names starting with ez; Google ad cookies include __gads and __gpi. Where consent is required, these are only set in line with the choices you make in the consent tool.
Affiliate partners. When you click an affiliate link and land on a partner's site, that partner may set its own cookies to attribute the referral. Those cookies are set on the partner's site and governed by its policies.

The newsletter form does not set cookies.

How to change your consent

Use the privacy settings link or icon shown by our consent tool (Gatekeeper) where it applies in your region, to review or withdraw your choices at any time.
Or clear the cookies and site data for interobservers.com in your browser. The consent prompt will appear again on your next visit.
You can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings. Blocking strictly necessary cookies may stop parts of the site from working.
For personalised ads specifically, you can also use Google Ads Settings or optout.aboutads.info.
