Summary
Core MyIPScan tools do not require a MyIPScan account cookie. The site can use browser local storage for convenience features, and third-party services may use cookies or similar technologies if analytics, ads, affiliate destinations, or embedded services are enabled.
Essential cookies
Essential cookies are cookies required to provide a requested feature, maintain security, prevent abuse, or remember a necessary setting. The current core diagnostic pages are designed to work without account cookies, but hosting or security providers may process technical request data to deliver and protect the site.
Local storage and similar technologies
MyIPScan shared scripts may use local storage keys such as privacy-score state, completed test status, recent IP history, and utility history. This data is stored in your browser and can be cleared through browser settings.
Analytics cookies
MyIPScan uses Google Analytics 4 for aggregate usage measurement, and only after you allow it in the consent notice; until then Google Analytics does not load and no analytics cookie is set. The blog at blog.myipscan.net works the same way and asks separately. Cloudflare Web Analytics, which Cloudflare adds to every page, counts page views, referrers and load times without cookies or any identifier stored in your browser, so it runs without the notice. Google Analytics may process technical request data, cookies, browser signals, or similar identifiers under its own policy. MyIPScan does not use analytics to create user accounts or store tool results in a MyIPScan account.
Advertising cookies
MyIPScan does not set advertising cookies. If ads are added later, this policy will identify the advertising provider, the cookie categories involved, and the consent or opt-out choices available to users.
Affiliate tracking
Some pages may contain affiliate links. Clicking an affiliate link can send you to a third-party site that may use tracking IDs, cookies, or similar technologies to attribute referrals. MyIPScan does not control cookies set by third-party destinations.
EU, UK, and EEA consent logic
Google Analytics loads only after consent for every visitor, not only in the EU, UK and EEA, and never when the browser sends Global Privacy Control or Do Not Track. You can change the choice at any time on the privacy page. MyIPScan runs no ad or affiliate tracking scripts.
