Privacy policy
absolum.net loads Google Analytics 4, Microsoft Clarity and Adsterra ads on the first view, before you click anything. The banner offers Accept and Reject; Reject saves the choice for 180 days and reloads the page to stop analytics, session replay and advertising. The site itself writes only absolum.consent and absolum.ad.closed in localStorage.
What loads on a first visit
This is a static guide. The HTML, styles, images and site script come from absolum.net, served through Cloudflare. No account is required and there is no newsletter form.
The services below are relevant. Google Analytics 4 (measurement ID G-9J7WHKJMN0) loads from googletagmanager.com. Microsoft Clarity (project z9trixurvn) loads from clarity.ms and records sessions and heat maps; its delivery can also contact Microsoft Bing domains. Adsterra loads a Native Banner (unit 32138634) and a Social Bar (unit 32138635) from bicea.org; adult ads are switched off in the Adsterra panel. Ad creatives can request delivery resources from rotating domains including cdn.show-creative1.com, cdn.show-sb.com, cdn.cloudpiko.com and static.nresystems.com, with Google Fonts used by some creatives. YouTube is contacted only when you press Play trailer, which creates a youtube-nocookie.com frame for the Dotemu upload and may contact Google video and image delivery hosts.
The consent banner is notice plus withdrawal, not a gate. On a first visit without a stored choice, the site loads analytics, replay and advertising by default and shows the banner. Google Consent Mode is initialized before configuration with ad_storage, ad_user_data and ad_personalization denied, analytics_storage granted, and ads_data_redaction enabled. Accept stores a granted choice and enables Google advertising signals. Reject stores a denied choice, updates Google and Clarity, then reloads the document so existing third-party scripts and timers are unloaded. Subsequent page views with that denial load none of the analytics, replay or advertising scripts for 180 days.

Cookies and localStorage keys
The two keys this site writes itself are listed first. The rest are set by the third parties named above, on their own domains or as first-party cookies on this domain, depending on the script. Retention is the lifetime the provider documents; a browser may cap it.
Adsterra and bicea.org assign the names of their advertising cookies at delivery time, so the exact list can change per campaign. They are used for frequency capping, fraud prevention and attribution. Their names and retention depend on the campaign and provider policy; this site does not assign a fixed cookie lifetime on their behalf.
| Key or cookie | Set by | Purpose | Retention | Basis |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| absolum.consent (localStorage) | absolum.net | Stores granted or denied plus a timestamp | 180 days | Consent |
| absolum.ad.closed (localStorage) | absolum.net | Remembers that the floating ad bar was closed | 180 days | Consent / preference |
| _ga | Google Analytics 4 | Distinguishes browsers for aggregate reports | 2 years | Consent |
| _ga_9J7WHKJMN0 | Google Analytics 4 | Keeps session state for this measurement ID | 2 years | Consent |
| _clck | Microsoft Clarity | Persists the Clarity user ID and preferences | 1 year | Consent |
| _clsk | Microsoft Clarity | Joins page views into one session recording | 1 day | Consent |
| CLID, MUID | Microsoft | Microsoft user and advertising identifiers | 1 year | Consent |
| Adsterra / bicea.org advertising cookies | Adsterra | Frequency capping, fraud prevention, click attribution | Varies by campaign; see provider policy | Default loading; Reject disables |
| YouTube player storage (varies by browser and playback) | YouTube | Player preferences and bandwidth estimate | See Google privacy policy | User-initiated playback |
Consent, legal basis and withdrawal
Analytics, session replay and advertising load by default until Reject is chosen. A first view does not itself create a stored consent choice. Accept and Reject each save a preference for 180 days. If the browser sends Global Privacy Control, the site disables these loaders without waiting for a click.
Cloudflare processes ordinary server and CDN connection logs for delivery, security and troubleshooting. Its privacy policy describes that processing and applicable rights.
You can change the choice at any time with Cookie settings in the footer, or by deleting absolum.consent and absolum.ad.closed in your browser. Deleting absolum.consent makes the next visit a first visit again, so the scripts load once more until you choose Reject.
Advertising and preferences
Adsterra is the only advertising network on this site; there is no AdSense, Popunder, Banner or Smartlink code here. Adsterra may use cookies or device identifiers to limit repeat impressions and to measure clicks. Adult ads are disabled for this website in the Adsterra panel.
You can opt out of personalized advertising from many networks through the industry pages below. Opting out does not remove ads; it makes them less personalized. Browser settings that block third-party cookies also limit this kind of tracking.
- Google Ads Settings: https://adssettings.google.com/
- Digital Advertising Alliance opt-out: https://optout.aboutads.info/

Retention, rights and changes
The site keeps no account database and no server-side profile. The only records it controls are the two localStorage keys, and they stay in your browser. Aggregate GA4 reports are retained for the period set in the GA4 property; Clarity recordings follow Microsoft's retention setting for the project. Adsterra retains delivery logs under its own policy.
You can ask what this policy covers, request deletion of a record you sent us, or object to processing by writing to [email protected]. Because there is no account, we cannot export a profile that does not exist; we can confirm what the public pages load and point you to the provider's request form.
Material changes to this page get a new checked date. The aliases /privacy-policy/, /cookie-policy/ and /cookies/ redirect here.
Questions
Do analytics and ads load before I click Accept?
Yes. GA4, Clarity and Adsterra load on the first view by default. Google advertising signals start denied. Reject saves a denial for 180 days and reloads the page to unload those services.
How do I withdraw consent?
Choose Reject in the banner, or open Cookie settings in the footer and choose Reject. The denial is stored in absolum.consent for 180 days.
Does Adsterra show adult ads here?
No. Adult ads are disabled for this website in the Adsterra panel, and only Native Banner and Social Bar units are installed.
Is YouTube loaded on every page?
No. The trailer is a facade; youtube-nocookie.com is contacted only after you press Play trailer.
Do you sell personal information?
No. There is no account database, no list rental and no data sale.
