Cookie Preferences

Last updated: November 3, 2026

Royally Inspired uses cookies and similar technologies for site features, audience measurement, advertising and embedded content. For information about personal information, read our Privacy Policy.

Managing your choices

Use the button above or the floating Cookie Preferences control to revisit the categories configured in WPConsent. The preference is stored for 30 days. WPConsent is configured to block recognized scripts and selected iframe providers before consent. It does not cover every technology. A third party may receive a browser request even when it does not set a cookie. You can also clear or restrict cookies through your browser. Changing a choice affects future use; it does not undo information already sent.

Essential and optional functional cookies

Cookie Preferences: wpconsent_preferences remembers your consent choice for 30 days. Hosting, security and administrator login features may use additional necessary session or authentication technologies.

Comment preferences: If you choose to save your commenter details, WordPress or wpDiscuz may store the name, email or website you supplied. WordPress cookie names can begin with comment_author_, comment_author_email_ and comment_author_url_, followed by a site-specific suffix. Standard WordPress comment cookies can last up to one year; wpDiscuz and browser settings may use different durations. An email address and login are not required to leave a guest comment.

Statistics

Statistics technologies help us understand visits, page use and performance. Depending on the service and your choices, they may use cookies, browser or device information, IP-derived location or pseudonymous identifiers.

Google Analytics 4: We use measurement ID G-ZM9FNCSC7P. Google Analytics may use _ga and _ga_* cookies to distinguish browsers and maintain session information. Google documents a two-year default expiration; configuration and browser restrictions can shorten it. See Google Analytics cookie information.

Jetpack Stats: Jetpack measures page views, referrers and interactions. Its related services may use cookies such as tk_ai, tk_qs, tk_tc and tk_aip. Cookies and durations depend on the feature and whether you are signed in. See Automattic’s cookie information.

Independent Analytics: This service does not set analytics cookies. It runs within WordPress, uses an IP address for approximate geolocation and creates a hashed visitor identifier stored on our site. It is described in our Privacy Policy.

Advertising

Google AdSense code is installed on RI. Google and participating advertising vendors may use cookies and similar identifiers to deliver, measure, protect and, where enabled and permitted, personalize advertising based on visits to this and other websites. The technologies used can vary by region, consent, advertising settings and the ad served. See Google’s advertising technology information and My Ad Center for Google ad choices.

Embedded content

Official Instagram/Meta and X embeds can receive browser, device, page and account-session information when they load. Instagram and X post embeds in article content wait until you load an individual post or accept the Marketing category in Cookie Preferences. Direct links to the original platform remain available. WPConsent also blocks selected YouTube, reCAPTCHA, Google Maps, Vimeo and DailyMotion iframes when they appear. Providers may use their own cookies or storage. See Meta’s Privacy Policy, X’s cookie information and Google’s cookie information. RSS.app magazine, list and carousel widgets in page content wait until you load an individual feed or allow Marketing. Loading one feed does not change your saved cookie categories. Declining Marketing reloads the page and stops future feed loads until you choose to load one again. When loaded, RSS.app can receive technical information from your browser and may use its own cookies or storage. See RSS.app’s Privacy Policy.

Newsletter tracking and affiliate destinations

We use Mailchimp open and click tracking to understand newsletter readership. Reporting depends on campaign settings and email software, and automated activity can affect the results. These email technologies are separate from RI’s website cookie categories. Retailers and affiliate destinations apply their own technologies when you follow a link. Our Privacy Policy and Terms explain these services and relationships.

This page describes the services and cookie families used or configured on RI. It is not a complete list of every cookie a third-party provider may use in every region, account state or interaction. For a privacy question or request, email contact@royallyinspired.com.
