Cookie Policy
This Cookie Policy explains how 9GG LLC ("9GG", "we", "us", or "our") uses cookies and similar technologies on 9gg.app. It should be read together with our Privacy Policy.

1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, to remember your preferences, and to provide information to site owners. Similar technologies (such as local storage and pixels) work in comparable ways. We group the technologies we use into two categories: essential and analytics.
2. Essential Cookies vs Analytics Cookies
2.1 Essential Cookies
Essential cookies are strictly necessary for the website to function and for security. They do things like keep your session active, remember your cookie-consent choice, and protect against cross-site request forgery. Because they are required for the service you have asked for, they do not require consent — but they never track you for advertising.
2.2 Analytics Cookies
Analytics cookies help us understand, in aggregate, how visitors use our site so we can improve it. We use Google Analytics for this. Analytics cookies are consent-gated: they are set only after you give consent and are not loaded if you decline or withdraw consent.
3. Cookies We Use
| Cookie | Type | Provider | Purpose | Typical Duration |
|---|---|---|---|---|
9gg_consent |
Essential | 9GG (first-party) | Stores your cookie-consent preference so we know whether analytics may load. | Up to 12 months |
_ga |
Analytics (consent only) | Google Analytics | Distinguishes individual users. Loads only with your consent. | Up to 2 years |
_gid |
Analytics (consent only) | Google Analytics | Distinguishes individual users. Loads only with your consent. | 24 hours |
_gat |
Analytics (consent only) | Google Analytics | Used to throttle the request rate. Loads only with your consent. | 1 minute |
If and when analytics is enabled, the _ga, _gid, and _gat cookies are set by Google Analytics. They are never set unless you have given consent.
4. How to Control Cookies
- Consent banner: when shown, you can accept or decline analytics cookies. You can change your choice at any time by clearing the
9gg_consentcookie or revisiting the consent settings. - Browser settings: most browsers let you block or delete cookies. See your browser's help pages for instructions. Blocking essential cookies may break parts of the site.
- Google Analytics opt-out: you can install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
