Cookie Policy

    Last updated: March 14, 2026

    1. What Are Cookies?

    Cookies are small text files placed on your device by websites you visit. They serve various purposes, such as remembering user preferences, maintaining session functionality, and—when consent is granted—collecting anonymous usage statistics.

    SnapRoomScore uses cookies only in a limited and transparent manner. The website operates fully without optional cookies, and the only categories used are described below.

    2. Cookies Used on This Website

    Strictly Necessary Storage

    These storage mechanisms are required for the website to function correctly. They do not collect personal information and cannot identify you as an individual.

    • cookie_consent — Stores your cookie consent preference (whether analytics cookies were accepted or declined).
    • Storage type: localStorage
    • Expiration: persists until manually cleared in your browser.

    Analytics Cookies (Optional – Consent Required)

    If you choose to accept analytics cookies, anonymized usage data may be collected through Google Analytics 4. This information helps us understand how the website is used so that we can improve features and usability.

    Collected analytics data may include:

    • Page views
    • Device category
    • Browser type and version
    • General geographic region (country-level)

    Analytics never includes:

    • Audio recordings
    • Microphone input
    • Decibel measurements
    • Measurement history
    • Personally identifiable information

    Cookies used by Google Analytics may include:

    • _ga — Assigns a random identifier used to distinguish visitors. This identifier does not contain personal information. Expiration: 2 years.
    • _ga_* — Maintains session state and interaction tracking associated with the _ga identifier. Expiration: up to 2 years.

    3. Cookies We Do Not Use

    SnapRoomScore does not use advertising or behavioral tracking technologies.

    Specifically, the website does not implement:

    • Advertising cookies
    • Retargeting pixels
    • Social media tracking widgets
    • Customer data platforms
    • A/B testing platforms that collect personal data

    Within Google Consent Mode v2, the following signals are permanently set to denied:

    • ad_storage
    • ad_user_data
    • ad_personalization

    This ensures that no advertising or personalized tracking data is collected.

    4. Google Consent Mode v2

    SnapRoomScore uses Google Consent Mode v2 to ensure that your cookie preferences are technically enforced.

    If you select “Necessary Only” in the consent banner:

    • analytics_storage is set to denied
    • Google Analytics cookies are not created
    • No analytics data is transmitted to Google

    In this configuration, the gtag.js script may still load to support consent handling but operates in cookieless mode.

    If you accept analytics cookies, analytics_storage is set to granted, allowing Google Analytics 4 to set the cookies described above and collect anonymized usage statistics.

    5. Managing Your Cookie Preferences

    You can change or withdraw your cookie consent at any time.

    To reset your preference, clear this website's cookies and site data in your browser settings and reload the page. The consent banner will appear again, allowing you to make a new selection.

    Most modern browsers also allow you to block cookies or restrict third-party cookies globally through their privacy settings.

    Declining analytics cookies does not affect SnapRoomScore's functionality. All measurement, trend tracking, badge, and sharing features work normally regardless of your cookie preference.

    6. Measurement Data Is Not a Cookie

    Noise measurement history, badges, and streak data are stored in localStorage within your browser.

    Unlike cookies, localStorage data is not transmitted with HTTP requests and remains entirely on your device. SnapRoomScore does not send measurement data to any server.

    For more details on how measurement data is handled, please refer to our Privacy Policy.
