This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how networkcheckr.com (“the Site”) uses them, and the choices you have. Please read it alongside our Privacy Policy.
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your computer, phone, or tablet when you visit a website. They help sites work efficiently, remember preferences, and provide reporting to site owners.
A cookie can be “first-party,” set by the site you are visiting. It can also be “third-party,” set by a service the site uses, such as an analytics provider. Cookies are also either “session” or “persistent.” A session cookie is deleted when you close your browser. A persistent cookie stays until it expires or you delete it.
How NetworkCheckr Uses Cookies
We use cookies for two purposes: essential site functionality and traffic analytics. We do not run advertising cookies on this site.
We also do not use cookies to identify you personally, or to track you across other websites.
Essential Cookies
These cookies are needed for the website to work. They do not collect personal information, and they cannot be disabled without breaking core functionality. The cookies below are set only for logged-in administrators, not for regular visitors.
| Cookie Name | Provider | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
wordpress_sec_* |
WordPress | Authentication cookie for logged-in admin users. Not set for regular visitors. | Session |
wordpress_logged_in_* |
WordPress | Indicates when a user is logged in and who they are. Admin use only. | Session |
wp-settings-* |
WordPress | Stores admin interface preferences. Not set for regular visitors. | 1 year |
Analytics Cookies
We use Google Analytics 4 to understand how visitors use the Site. These cookies collect aggregated data about page views, traffic sources, time on site, and device types.
Google Analytics 4 does not log or store IP addresses. This protection is automatic and built into GA4, so it cannot be turned on or off.
| Cookie Name | Provider | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
_ga |
Google Analytics 4 | Distinguishes unique visitors using a randomly generated client identifier. | 2 years |
_ga_<container-id> |
Google Analytics 4 | Persists session state for the GA4 property. | 2 years |
You can opt out of Google Analytics on every site by installing the Google Analytics Opt-Out Browser Add-On.
Affiliate and Third-Party Links
NetworkCheckr does not currently use affiliate links. If we add them in the future, the third-party merchant may set its own cookies when you click.
Those cookies would be governed by that third party’s own cookie and privacy policies. We will update this page before any affiliate links go live. For details, see our Affiliate Disclosure.
How to Manage or Disable Cookies
NetworkCheckr does not currently display a cookie consent banner. Analytics cookies are set when you visit, and you can decline them using either method below.
Browser Settings
Every major browser lets you control cookies in its settings. You can block all cookies, block only third-party cookies, or delete cookies already set. Blocking all cookies may affect how some websites work.
- Chrome: Settings → Privacy and Security → Cookies and Other Site Data
- Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
- Safari: Settings → Privacy → Manage Website Data
- Edge: Settings → Cookies and Site Permissions → Manage and Delete Cookies
Analytics Opt-Out
For the analytics service used on this site, you can opt out directly:
Do Not Track Signals
Some browsers offer a “Do Not Track” (DNT) feature. It sends a signal asking websites not to track your browsing activity.
There is currently no agreed standard for how sites should respond to DNT signals. NetworkCheckr does not change its data collection in response to DNT today. If a standard is established later, we will review our practices.
Changes to This Cookie Policy
We may update this policy as needed. Reasons include changes in the cookies we use, the law, or our service providers. When we make a material change, we will update the “Last Updated” date above. Please review this policy periodically.
