This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how ProTier Lab utilizes them, the types of cookies we deploy, and how you can manage or disable your cookie preferences.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used to ensure websites function efficiently, remember your customized settings across sessions, and provide anonymized analytical reports to web publishers.
Alongside cookies, ProTier Lab also utilizes modern browser storage mechanisms such as localStorage to remember your calculator presets (such as DPI, current game conversion pairs, and visual theme) strictly on your client device.
2. Categories of Cookies We Use
We categorize the cookies utilized across ProTier Lab into the following functional groups:
🔒 Strictly Necessary Cookies
Essential for basic website operations, security token verification, and server load balancing. The website cannot function properly without these cookies.
⚙️ Functional & Preference Cookies
These allow our calculators to remember your choices — such as your mouse DPI, recent game selections, and dark mode preferences — so you don’t have to re-enter them every visit.
📊 Analytics & Performance Cookies
Anonymized statistical cookies (e.g., Google Analytics) that help us measure site traffic, popular tools, and navigation speed to continuously optimize calculator performance.
📢 Advertising & Marketing Cookies
Utilized by advertising partners (including Google AdSense) to deliver relevant, non-intrusive advertisements that fund the free development and hosting of our tool suite.
3. Google AdSense & Third-Party Cookies
Google, as a third-party vendor, uses cookies to serve advertisements on ProTier Lab. Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its advertising partners to serve ads based on your visit to our site and/or other sites on the internet.
You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting:
- Google Ads Settings
- Network Advertising Initiative (NAI) Opt-Out Tool
- Digital Advertising Alliance (DAA) Consumer Choice Page
4. How to Manage Cookies in Your Browser
Most modern web browsers allow you to control cookie settings through their preference menus. You can configure your browser to reject all cookies, notify you when a cookie is sent, or clear cookies upon closing your browser:
- Google Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Third-party cookies → Manage cookie permissions.
- Mozilla Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Enhanced Tracking Protection → Cookies and Site Data.
- Microsoft Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions → Manage and delete cookies and site data.
- Apple Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data / Block all cookies.
- Brave Browser: Shields → Advanced Controls → Block cross-site cookies.
💡 Client-Side Reset
Because ProTier Lab stores your tool presets locally in your browser, clearing your browser’s site data and cookies for protierlab.com will immediately restore all calculators and benchmark utilities to their default factory settings.
