Cookie Policy
Last reviewed on October 3, 2026
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, tablet or smartphone) when you visit a website. They allow the site to recognise your device, remember preferences and measure how pages are used. Similar technologies — pixels, local storage, software development kits — do much the same job and are covered by this policy as well.
How StainlessMesh.com Uses Cookies
StainlessMesh.com uses cookies for one purpose: measuring traffic with Google Analytics. The site does not currently display advertising, does not contain affiliate links and does not set its own functional cookies (the mobile menu works without them).
Categories of Cookies in Use
Analytics (Google Analytics)
Purpose: Measure page views, time on page, referrers, device categories and broad geography. Reports are aggregated and are not used by the site to identify individuals.
Provider: Google Analytics (measurement ID G-WL0HW2QXEH), loaded on every page of the site.
Duration: Typically up to 2 years for the main identifier (_ga), and shorter for supporting cookies.
Opt-out: Install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on, or block analytics cookies in your browser settings.
Advertising and Affiliate Cookies
None at present. If advertising or affiliate links are added in the future, this policy will be updated to list the providers and cookies involved before they go live.
Representative Cookies
The table below is illustrative — actual cookie names and durations may change as Google updates its products.
| Cookie | Provider | Purpose | Typical Duration | Category |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| _ga | Google Analytics | Distinguish unique users | 2 years | Analytics |
| _ga_<container-id> | Google Analytics (GA4) | Persist session state for the GA4 property | 2 years | Analytics |
Managing Cookies in Your Browser
Most browsers let you view, delete and block cookies. Starting points:
- Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data.
- Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data.
- Safari (macOS): Settings → Privacy → Manage Website Data.
- Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions → Cookies and site data.
- iOS Safari: Settings → Safari → Block All Cookies.
- Android: Browser-specific settings under Site settings → Cookies.
Global Privacy Control (GPC)
Some browsers and extensions send a Global Privacy Control signal, which communicates an opt-out of "sale" and "sharing" of personal information. The Site does not sell or share personal information for advertising, so there is no advertising data for the signal to switch off; to limit analytics, use the opt-out add-on or browser settings above.
Do Not Track (DNT)
Some browsers send a "Do Not Track" header. Because DNT is not consistently supported across the industry, the Site does not currently adjust behaviour based on DNT. You can still control cookies through the browser settings and opt-out links above.
Effect of Disabling Cookies
Blocking or deleting cookies typically means:
- Traffic analytics may undercount you (which is fine — the Site still works normally).
- No content or features of the Site are blocked; every page remains readable.
Changes
This Cookie Policy may change as technology, legislation and vendor practices evolve. The "Last reviewed" date at the top of this page shows the most recent update.
