Cookie Policy
This Cookie Policy explains how GY Security Data LLC (“we,” “our,” “us”) uses cookies and similar technologies on iplocation.us (the “Site”). It should be read together with our Privacy Policy.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your computer or mobile device when you visit the Site. They enable the Site to remember your actions and preferences (such as login, language, and display settings) over a period of time so you don’t have to re‑enter them whenever you come back.
We also use other tracking technologies—such as web beacons, pixels, local storage and Consent Mode signals—that operate similarly or are placed by our service providers.
2. Why We Use Cookies
| Category | Purpose | Examples |
|---|---|---|
| Strictly Necessary | Enable core functionality like page navigation, secure areas and spam protection. The Site cannot function properly without these cookies. | __cf_bm (Cloudflare), cookie_consent_state (CMP banner) |
| Performance & Analytics | Collect aggregated data on how visitors use the Site so we can measure and improve performance. Data is anonymised where possible. | _ga, _gid, _gat (Google Analytics 4) |
| Functional | Remember choices you make (language, preferred tool settings) to provide a personalised experience. | iplocation_toolprefs |
| Advertising | Deliver ads that are more relevant to you and your interests; limit ad frequency; detect click fraud. Placed by Google AdSense and partners. | IDE, test_cookie, google_adsense_settings |
Note on AdSense: We integrate Google AdSense, which may set or read cookies and use unique identifiers through Google’s Consent Mode v2. AdSense cookies help measure ad performance and personalise ads if you grant marketing consent.
3. Managing Your Cookie Preferences
When you first visit the Site from the EU, UK or other applicable regions, a banner appears asking for your consent. You can:
- Accept all cookies.
- Reject non-essential cookies.
- Customise your preferences per category.
You may change or withdraw your consent at any time by clicking the floating “Cookie Settings” icon in the footer, which reopens the banner.
You can also control cookies through your browser settings:
- Chrome: Settings › Privacy and security › Cookies and other site data.
- Firefox: Preferences › Privacy & Security › Cookies and Site Data.
- Edge: Settings › Cookies and site permissions › Manage and delete cookies.
- Safari: Preferences › Privacy › Manage Website Data.
Blocking all cookies may impact the functionality of parts of the Site.
4. Third‑Party Cookies
Some cookies are placed by third parties that provide services to us or display advertising:
- Google LLC – AdSense, Analytics, Tag Manager, Consent Mode.
- Cloudflare Inc. – Security and content delivery network.
- Meta Platforms Inc. – Only if you interact with embedded Facebook widgets.
These third parties may collect data beyond our control. Please consult their respective privacy policies for more information.

5. Consent Mode v2 Compliance (EU / UK)
We use a Google‑certified Consent Management Platform (CMP) that passes the IAB Europe Transparency & Consent Framework (TCF 2.2) signals. Until you grant ad_storage and analytics_storage consent, AdSense and Analytics are configured in “default denied” mode.
6. Updates to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy periodically to reflect changes in technologies, legal requirements or our practices. The “Last updated” date at the top indicates when it was most recently revised. If we make material changes, we will provide a prominent notice (e.g., banner or pop‑up) before the change becomes effective.
