Cookie Policy
Effective date: July 17, 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how SipScout uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit our website. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.
1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They help the site remember your preferences, understand how visitors use the site, and enable certain features.
2. How we use cookies
Essential cookies. These are necessary for the site to function and cannot be disabled. They enable core features like navigation, search, and the cookie consent banner itself.
Analytics cookies. We use Google Analytics to collect information about how visitors use the site. Google Analytics places cookies on your device to identify your browser, measure interactions, and report usage trends. These cookies are loaded only if you consent to analytics in our cookie banner.
Advertising cookies. We do not currently use advertising cookies. If we introduce advertising in the future, we will update this policy and ask for consent before placing any advertising cookies.
3. Google Analytics cookies
Google Analytics may place cookies such as:
- _ga — distinguishes users, expires after 2 years;
- _ga_<container-id> — persists session state, expires after 2 years;
- _gid — distinguishes users, expires after 24 hours;
- _gat — throttles request rate, expires after 1 minute.
For more details, see Google’s cookie overview and Google’s Privacy Policy.
4. Managing cookies
You can manage or disable cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to refuse all cookies or only third-party cookies. Keep in mind that disabling cookies may affect site functionality.
To opt out of Google Analytics specifically, you can install the official browser add-on at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
You can also update your consent choice at any time by clearing the site data in your browser and revisiting the site — the cookie banner will reappear.
5. Changes to this Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. Changes will be reflected by updating the effective date above. Continued use of the site after changes means you accept the revised policy.
