11. Website, Cookies & Advertising
This section applies to our marketing website at trywhisk.com, which is separate from the Whisk iOS app described above.
11.1 Advertising Measurement
The website uses Google Ads (the gtag.js tag) to measure the performance of our advertising — primarily to count when a visitor clicks through to download the app. When enabled, this may set cookies and share your IP address and cookie identifiers with Google to attribute ad conversions. This applies to website browsing only and does not involve selling your personal data.
11.2 Consent
By default, advertising and analytics storage is disabled using Google Consent Mode v2. These cookies are only set after you accept them via our cookie banner. You can reject them and the website remains fully functional. You can change or withdraw your choice at any time by clearing the consent cookie (cc_cookie) in your browser, which will show the banner again.
11.3 Cookies We May Set
| Cookie | Purpose | Set by |
|---|---|---|
cc_cookie | Stores your cookie consent choice (essential — always active). | trywhisk.com |
_gcl_au | Google Ads conversion linker; set only after consent. |
11.4 Google's Processing
Data processed by Google through these cookies is subject to Google's Privacy Policy. The rights described in Section 7 also apply to website data.
