Updated October 11, 2026. This statement covers salars.net and store.salars.net, operated by Ranmon Inc. Our website privacy policy and Store privacy policy explain account, contact and transaction information.
Where advertising appears
Google ads are limited to eligible, substantial nonfiction articles on salars.net. Our homepage, browsing and series pages, fiction, poetry, newsletter and support pages, policies, search, and media players stay ad-free. We also keep the firearms, trapping and Alma Massacre series ad-free. Store pages at store.salars.net do not carry Google ads, including product pages, shopping, checkout and coin-history articles.
Your choices come first
You can read the site and shop without accepting optional measurement. We ask before loading our Google measurement tag. Advertising has a separate consent gate: the advertising tag stays unloaded until our Google consent platform returns applicable privacy choices. A missing consent service or rejected consent keeps advertising off. We respect a browser’s Global Privacy Control signal by holding advertising.
Use to allow or decline measurement. Use for advertising choices when that service is available. The same controls appear in the main-site footer. The Store has its own measurement settings; a choice on one host does not automatically apply to the other.
Essential browser storage
The Store remembers cart products and quantities locally and uses session storage for checkout references and order access. This lets you return to a cart or access the order you just created without adding those access credentials to public product links. Support and security services may need storage to maintain a session, prevent abuse or remember a required choice. These features are distinct from optional advertising and analytics.
Browser storage is not an inventory reservation or a promise that a price remains available. Checkout rechecks stock, prices and shipping. Closing a tab may remove session storage; clearing local storage may empty your cart. Neither action cancels an order, releases a paid purchase or deletes transaction records. Use the order recovery page if you lose access.
Optional measurement
Our measurement preference is stored under salars-analytics-choice. On the main site a companion timestamp expires the choice after 180 days, after which we ask again. Google Analytics may use cookies beginning with _ga once allowed. The tag measures visits and site interactions; page locations sent by our site omit the query string. Advertising storage, advertising personalization and Google signals are disabled for that measurement configuration.
Declining measurement prevents the tag from loading on later visits. If it has already loaded, changing to decline reloads the page and removes accessible first-party Analytics cookies. We cannot erase data already received by another service merely by clearing browser cookies. Privacy requests and provider controls address that separately.
Advertising and European visitors
Google advertising can involve cookies, partner identifiers and consent records. Personalized advertising for visitors in the European Economic Area, United Kingdom and Switzerland requires Google’s certified consent framework. For those visitors, our advertising loader requires an affirmative consent signal from Google’s consent platform; we do not treat continuing to browse as consent. Outside those regions it waits for applicable US privacy status and honors opt-out signals. We use the European message already published in our AdSense account. If privacy status is unavailable, advertising remains held.
Where presented, the advertising message explains partner purposes and lets you review or withdraw choices. You can also use Google My Ad Center and read how Google uses information from partner sites. A measurement choice does not substitute for an advertising choice.
Checkout, external channels and linked services
Stripe Checkout, Amazon, eBay, Facebook and other destinations provide their own interfaces and storage under their policies. Opening an external link may leave our site. Their privacy controls and account preferences are separate. Do not share card details, passwords or verification codes with our support team.
Browser controls and shared devices
You can block or clear storage in your browser, use a private window or change devices. This can reset choices and affect cart or order-access features. Browser restrictions may prevent preferences from being saved; in that case, optional measurement remains off unless you choose to allow it for the page. Choices do not automatically transfer across devices.
