Cookie Policy
This page explains what cookies and similar technologies USTimeZonesMap uses, why we use them, and how to control them. It complements the broader privacy policy.
What is a cookie?
A cookie is a small text file that a website asks your browser to store on your device. When you return to the site or visit another site that uses the same service, the browser sends the cookie back, which lets the site or service recognise your browser. Similar technologies — local storage, session storage, and tracking pixels — work the same way for our purposes here. Throughout this page, "cookies" refers to all of them.
Categories of cookies used on this site
1. Cookies set by the site itself
None. The clocks, map, converter and calculators run entirely in your browser and do not need cookies to work.
2. Analytics
The site uses Google Analytics (measurement ID G-M9B0L8JXJ8). Analytics cookies count visits, track which pages are viewed, and measure how visitors move through the site in aggregate. This helps us improve content and fix usability issues. We do not use analytics cookies to identify individual visitors.
3. Advertising
The site does not currently display advertising and does not use advertising cookies. If that changes, this page will be updated first.
Specific cookies you may see
The exact list of cookies can change as third-party services update their products. The most common ones at the time this page was last reviewed are:
| Cookie / storage key | Set by | Purpose | Approx. duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| _ga, _ga_* | Google Analytics | Distinguishes users and sessions for usage measurement. | Up to 2 years |
| _gid | Google Analytics | Distinguishes users for a short window. | 24 hours |
Cookie names and durations are controlled by the third parties that set them and may change. The category is the most reliable way to understand what each cookie does.
How to control or opt out
Google Analytics opt-out
Google offers a browser add-on that prevents Google Analytics from collecting data on any website you visit. Content blockers and privacy-focused browsers also commonly block it.
Browser-level controls
Every major browser lets you view, block, and delete cookies. The exact steps vary by browser; the help pages for Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge describe how. Many browsers also offer a "private" or "incognito" mode that limits how long cookies persist.
Blocking cookies does not break any part of this site; all tools keep working without them.
"Do Not Track" and Global Privacy Control
The site does not sell personal information or use it for cross-context behavioral advertising, so there is nothing for a Global Privacy Control or "Do Not Track" signal to opt out of beyond analytics. To stop analytics collection, use the opt-out or browser controls above.
Changes to this policy
This cookie policy may be updated to reflect changes in the services we use or in applicable law. The "Last reviewed" date at the top of the page is updated whenever the policy changes.
