We have implemented Google Consent Mode v2 on this website. This means that Google Analytics and Google AdSense scripts are loaded in a restricted mode by default, with analytics_storage and ad_storage set to "denied" until you provide your consent. When you accept the relevant cookie categories, the consent state is updated and full data collection begins. This approach complies with the requirements of the EU Digital Markets Act (DMA) and Google's updated policies for EU/EEA users.
When you first visit SnoopMy, a cookie banner allows you to accept all cookies, accept only necessary cookies, or customise your preferences by category. You can update your choices at any time by clicking the 🍪 Cookies button in the bottom-left corner of any page.
You can control and delete cookies through your browser settings. Note that disabling cookies may affect the functionality of this and other websites.
