Cookie Policy
Last updated: 7 September 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how Shellpea uses cookies and similar technologies on https://shellpea.com. Read it together with our .
1. What cookies are
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They let a site work correctly, remember your preferences, and measure how it is used. We also use related technologies — pixels, web beacons, and browser local storage — and refer to all of them as "cookies" throughout this policy.
2. Categories we use
Category | Purpose | Consent required |
|---|---|---|
Strictly necessary | Core functionality: security, session integrity, and remembering your cookie choice itself | No |
Analytics | Understanding how visitors use the Site — Google Analytics 4, Ahrefs Analytics, Mail.ru Top | Yes |
Functional | Remembering preferences such as the dark/light theme | Yes |
We do not use advertising cookies, retargeting pixels, or social-media trackers.
3. The tools we use
Tool | Purpose | Cookies / storage | Provider's policy |
|---|---|---|---|
Google Analytics 4 (`G-EL34QBH5JY`) | Site analytics | `_ga`, `_ga_*`, `_gid` | |
Ahrefs Analytics | Privacy-focused traffic analytics | First-party, cookieless in normal operation | |
Mail.ru Top (`top.mail.ru`) | Visitor counter and analytics | `top.mail.ru` cookies |
All three load only after you accept analytics cookies. Until then, none of these scripts run and none of their cookies are set.
4. How long cookies last
Session cookies are deleted when you close your browser. Persistent cookies stay for a defined period — typically up to 24 months for the analytics cookies listed above — or until you delete them yourself.
5. Managing your choices on this site
Nothing beyond strictly necessary cookies is loaded until you opt in through the consent banner. You can change your decision at any time through the **Cookie settings** link in the footer, which reopens the banner. Withdrawing consent stops further analytics collection immediately.
6. Managing cookies in your browser
You can also control cookies in your browser settings:
- Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Third-party cookies
- Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
- Safari: Settings → Privacy → Manage Website Data
- Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions → Cookies and site data
To opt out of Google Analytics across all sites, you can install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on Disabling cookies may affect how parts of the Site work.
7. Changes to this policy
We update this policy whenever we add or remove a tool. The "Last updated" date above reflects the latest revision.
