Cookie policy
This page lists the cookies and similar tools Moms Guide SA uses. The cookie banner never names vendors. Vendor names and purposes live here and in the privacy policy too.
What cookies and similar tools are
Cookies are small files a site stores in your browser. Similar tools include local storage and session storage. Some are needed for the site to work. Others help us measure use only if you allow it.
How we ask
On your first visit we show a cookie banner. You can Accept all, Reject all non-essential cookies, or Customize. Your choice is stored in the browser (c15t cookie and local storage). On momsguidesa.com we also keep a first-party record of your choice (a random ID, the policy version, which categories you allowed or refused, how you chose, and when) for about 14 months. Necessary cookies stay on so the site can work.

Google Analytics keeps event-level data for 2 months and user-level data for 14 months. The 14 months restart each time you come back. Cookie duration in the table above is how long the browser cookie can last, not how long Google keeps the reports.
How to change your choices
Use Your privacy choices in the footer (or the More menu on phones) to reopen preferences. You can also clear cookies and site data in your browser settings, and send a Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal. GPC keeps optional measurement and marketing off while it is on.
