Cookies,
plainly explained.

Cookies are small text files a website stores on your device. Some are essential to make a site work; others help us understand, in aggregate, how the site is used, or measure the ads we run. Similar technologies — like the small amount of data we keep in your browser's storage to remember your choices — work the same way, and we mean all of them when we say "cookies" on this page.

We keep the list short, and you control the optional categories. No third-party ads are shown on this website.

Necessary (always on)

These keep the site working and secure and remember your privacy choices so we can honor them and not ask again. For example, we store a small preference named coney_consent_v1 in your browser. They don't track you for marketing and can't be switched off.

Analytics (Google Analytics)

With your permission, Google Analytics helps us see, in aggregate, how people find and use the site. It sets first-party cookies such as _ga and _ga_<id>, which help tell one visit from another. On only if you allow Analytics.

Advertising (Google Ads)

With your permission, Google Ads lets us measure whether the ads we run for The Coney Island work and reach people who have already visited the site (remarketing). This can use identifiers such as the _gcl_* cookies. We use these for our own advertising only; we don't display anyone else's ads here. On only if you allow Advertising.

You're in control of the optional categories, anytime:

• open Your Privacy Choices in the footer of any page to switch Analytics and Advertising on or off;
• turn on a Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal — we honor it automatically and turn Advertising off;
• clear or block cookies in your browser, or install Google's Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on;
• opt out of personalized Google ads at Google's Ads Settings or many companies at once at the NAI opt-out page.

Clearing this site's cookies resets your choices, so we'll ask again on your next visit. For the full picture of what we collect, see our Privacy Policy.

If you're visiting from the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or Switzerland, Analytics and Advertising stay off until you allow them. In the United States, they're on unless you opt out. Either way, you can change your choice anytime from Your Privacy Choices, a Global Privacy Control signal is always honored, and your ability to use the site never depends on your choice.

As the site grows, we may update this policy. When we do, we'll change the "Effective" date at the top, and if a change is material we'll ask for your cookie choices again. Please check back from time to time.
