Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently and to provide information to website operators. Cookies may be set by the website you are visiting ("first-party cookies") or by third-party services that the website uses ("third-party cookies").
The AlcoChange website (alcochange.com) uses cookies for two purposes: to ensure the website functions correctly (essential cookies) and, where you consent, to understand how visitors use the site (analytics cookies).
When you first visit our website, a cookie banner is displayed asking you to choose whether to accept all cookies or to allow essential cookies only. Your choice is stored so that the banner is not shown again on subsequent visits.
These cookies are strictly necessary for the website to function. They cannot be switched off. They are set in response to actions you take on the site, such as setting your cookie preferences. These cookies do not store any personally identifiable information.
| Cookie Name | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| cookie_consent | Stores your cookie consent preference (whether you accepted all cookies or essential only) | 12 months |
These cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources so that we can measure and improve the performance of the website. They help us understand which pages are visited most frequently and how visitors navigate the site. All information collected by these cookies is aggregated and therefore anonymous.
Analytics cookies are set only if you click "Accept All" on the cookie banner. If you choose "Essential Only", no analytics cookies will be placed.
