This page lists technologies that actually appear in the GTA6Tracking implementation. It does not invent extra cookie names or advertising pixels. Last updated 28 August 2026.
What cookies are
Cookies are small text files a site or an embedded service can store in your browser. Similar technologies include local storage. GTA6Tracking stores your analytics preference in local storage, not in a cookie.
Necessary technologies
The site needs ordinary web delivery (HTML, CSS, scripts, images) to function. We do not set a first-party session or login cookie in our own code.
Consent preference (local storage, not a cookie). Key: gta6tracking-analytics-consent. Values: granted or denied. Purpose: remember whether optional Google Analytics may load. Duration: until you change the choice or clear site data for this origin. Legal basis where GDPR applies: storing this choice is needed to respect your decision.
Fonts (Geist and Geist Mono) are applied via Next.js font loading and are typically self-hosted with the application after the build. They are not loaded in this project as a separate Google Fonts stylesheet in the page.
Optional analytics
Google Analytics 4 (gtag.js, measurement ID G-5Z2Y47BHEP) loads only after you accept analytics, and only in production. Purpose: page-view and similar usage measurement. Provider: Google.
Our repository does not define cookie names for GA4. If you accept analytics, Google’s script may set first-party cookies commonly documented by Google as _ga and _ga_*. We do not control Google’s exact cookie set, lifetime, or additional storage. Duration and content are described in Google’s own cookie documentation.
There is no Google Tag Manager container, advertising tag, or affiliate tracking script in the current code.
Third-party technologies (YouTube)
Official videos use a thumbnail from i.ytimg.com first. A YouTube iframe (youtube-nocookie.com) is created only after you click play. Opening “Watch on YouTube” uses youtube.com. Those services may use cookies or other identifiers under Google’s policies. We do not list invented YouTube cookie names.
How to change or withdraw consent
Use Cookie settings in the footer, or reopen the banner from that control. “Reject analytics” stops the site from loading GA4. That is not the same as deleting every copy of data Google may already have. You can also use browser controls to block cookies or clear site data.
