Cookie Policy

Pranx is part of ALTFTool, and the wider site's analytics and advertising tags load on these pages too. This page lists what that means and what Pranx itself keeps.
Analytics and advertising
These pages sit inside the main ALTFTool site, so its measurement and advertising tags load here as well: Google Analytics, a Google Ads conversion tag, Microsoft Clarity, and Google AdSense on the live site. They set their own cookies and can record how pages are used.
Across the UK and EEA these are set to denied by default until consent is given, and the Google consent dialog governs that choice. Choosing Essential only on the Pranx bar switches analytics and ad storage off, and that choice is re-applied on later visits.
What Pranx itself keeps in your browser
pranx_cookie_consent— which choice you made on the cookie bar, so you are asked once rather than on every visit.pranx_popup_subscribed— a yes/no marker recording that you joined the newsletter, so the popup stops appearing. Your email address is not kept on your device.pranx_popup_dismissed— kept for the current tab only, so closing the popup does not bring it straight back. It is discarded when the tab closes.altft_lead_session— a per-tab id that groups several sign-ups from one visit. It is not a cookie and the browser discards it when the tab closes, but it is sent with a sign-up and stored alongside it.- A short-lived cache of the adverts chosen for the page, kept for the current tab so they do not have to be fetched again as you move around.
Individual pranks
Some simulators remember a setting so they behave the way you left them — a chosen theme, or whether a sound was muted. Those stay on your device and are never sent anywhere.
Clearing them
Clearing site data for this domain in your browser settings removes all of the above. The cookie bar will then ask again on your next visit.
