Cookie Policy
This policy explains the cookies and similar browser storage used on aurora-247.com, what each one does, and how you can control them.
Last updated: 29 September 2026
1. Your choice
When you first visit, a banner asks whether you accept analytics. Analytics cookies are set only if you select Accept. If you select Decline, or make no choice, the site works in full without them. We do not use advertising cookies.
You can change your choice at any time. The banner will appear again so you can choose.
2. Storage that is always used
These items are stored in your browser’s local or session storage, not as cookies. They remember your settings, are not sent to us or to third parties, and are needed for the site to work as you expect.
| Name | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| aurora.analyticsConsent | Remembers whether you accepted or declined analytics. | Until you clear it |
| aurora_lang | Remembers whether you chose English or Arabic. | Until you clear it |
| aurora_theme_v3 | Remembers whether you chose the light or dark theme. | Until you clear it |
| aurora_exit_shown | Stops the same prompt appearing twice in one visit. | Until you close the tab |
3. Analytics, before and without consent
Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics load on every visit in Google’s consent mode, with analytics and advertising storage set to “denied”. In this state they do not set cookies. Google may receive limited cookieless signals, such as the page viewed, which help us count visits in aggregate.
4. Analytics cookies, only if you accept
| Name | Provider | Purpose | Typical duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| _ga | Google Analytics | Distinguishes visitors so visits can be counted. | 2 years |
| _ga_* | Google Analytics | Keeps the state of the current session. | 2 years |
| _clck | Microsoft Clarity | Links page views by the same visitor. | 1 year |
| _clsk | Microsoft Clarity | Groups page views into a single session recording. | 1 day |
Microsoft may also set its own cookies on its domains (such as clarity.ms) to operate Clarity. For how Google and Microsoft handle this data, see the privacy information published by each provider.
5. Other ways to control cookies
You can also block or delete cookies and site data in your browser settings. Blocking the storage in section 2 means the site cannot remember your language, theme or cookie choice.
