Cookie Policy
Last updated: 29 April 2026. This page explains what cookies and similar technologies makebarchart.com uses, why, and how to disable them.
1. What is a cookie?
A cookie is a small text file a website stores in your browser. Cookies let sites remember things between visits — like your preferences, your login state, or whether you've already dismissed a banner. Some cookies are set by the site you're visiting (first-party); others are set by other companies whose code is loaded into the page (third-party).
2. Cookies we set directly
| Name | Purpose | Lifetime |
|---|---|---|
cc.v1 (in localStorage) | Records whether you accepted or rejected the cookie consent banner. | Until you clear browser storage. |
That is the only first-party storage the site uses by default. The chart maker itself does not set any cookies.
3. Third-party cookies (only if you accept)
If you accept the consent banner, the following may be set on subsequent page loads:
3.1 Google AdSense / DoubleClick
This site may display advertising provided by Google AdSense. Google uses cookies (including the DoubleClick DART cookie) to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites. These cookies allow Google and its partners to show personalized ads.
- Opt out of personalized advertising at Google Ads Settings.
- Opt out of third-party vendors' use of cookies for personalized advertising at aboutads.info/choices.
- For more on Google's policies, see policies.google.com/technologies/ads.
3.2 Analytics
If we use a third-party analytics provider (such as Google Analytics) it may set cookies to count unique visitors and measure how the site is used. We do not configure analytics to be linked to advertising audiences on our side.
4. How to disable cookies
You can refuse cookies through the consent banner on first visit, or revoke consent any time by clearing your browser storage for this site. You can also disable or delete cookies via your browser's settings:
Note that blocking cookies may prevent you from saving your consent preference, in which case the banner will appear on each visit.
5. Updates
We may update this policy as cookie usage changes. The "Last updated" date at the top reflects the most recent revision.
