Cookie Policy
Last updated: 10 June 2026
1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help websites function and improve your experience.
Some cookies are strictly necessary for the website to work. Others help us understand how visitors use our website.
2. Cookies we use
Strictly necessary (functional)
These cookies are required for the website to operate correctly. They do not track you for analytics or advertising purposes and do not require your consent under PECR / UK GDPR.
| Cookie | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
pseo_uid | Assigns a random identifier used to show a consistent version of the site across your visit (A/B testing of page layouts). Contains no personal information. | 1 year |
Analytics (optional — requires consent)
We use Google Analytics 4 (GA4) to understand how people use 4Shor so we can improve it. These cookies are only set after you click Accept on the cookie banner.
| Cookie | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
_ga | Google Analytics — distinguishes unique visitors. Used to calculate visit, session, and campaign data for site analytics. | 2 years |
_ga_* | Google Analytics — stores and counts page views for this specific GA4 property. | 2 years |
We use Consent Mode v2: if you decline or ignore the banner, GA4 still fires but without setting cookies or collecting personal data — only anonymised, aggregated signals are sent to Google.
We do not use cookies for advertising or marketing targeting.
3. Your consent choices
On your first visit, a cookie banner at the bottom of the screen lets you Accept or Decline analytics cookies. Your choice is saved in your browser and remembered for future visits — the banner will not appear again.
To change your preference at any time: clear your browser’s local storage for 4shor.app (this resets the consent record and the banner will reappear on your next visit). Alternatively, contact us at info@4shor.app and we can advise further.
4. Managing cookies in your browser
Most browsers let you view, block, or delete cookies through their privacy or settings menu. Please note that blocking strictly necessary cookies may affect how the website works.
5. More information
