Cookie Policy

Last updated: August 19, 2026

This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how WaterHeaterLab (published by NET STUDIO LLC) uses them on https://waterheaterlab.com, and the choices you have. It should be read together with our Privacy Policy, which describes more broadly how we handle personal data.

What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your computer or mobile device when you visit. They allow the site to recognize your device, remember your settings, and understand how the site is being used. Some cookies are set by us (first-party cookies); others are set by outside services that appear on our pages (third-party cookies). Similar technologies, such as local storage and tracking pixels, are covered by this policy as well.

How WaterHeaterLab uses cookies

We group the cookies used on this site into four categories:

  • Strictly necessary cookies. These are required for the site to function — for example, the cookie that records your consent choices. They cannot be switched off and do not require your consent.
  • Preference cookies. These remember choices you make, such as settings that affect how pages are displayed, so you do not have to make them again on your next visit.
  • Statistics cookies. We use Google Analytics 4 (implemented through Google Site Kit) to measure traffic and understand which guides and comparisons readers find useful. These cookies are set only after you consent.
  • Marketing and advertising cookies. The site may display ads served by Google AdSense. Google and its partners may use cookies — including third-party cookies — to serve and measure ads, and, where you have allowed it, to personalize them. These cookies are set only after you consent.

Your consent and how to change it

Cookie consent on WaterHeaterLab is managed with the Complianz consent banner. On your first visit, the banner asks whether you accept statistics and marketing cookies. Nothing beyond strictly necessary cookies is set until you make a choice.

You can change or withdraw your consent at any time. Use the cookie settings link or badge available on the site (typically in the footer or the corner of the page) to reopen the consent banner, then adjust your preferences per category. Withdrawing consent stops future cookies in that category from being set; you can also delete cookies already stored through your browser settings, as described below.

Third-party cookies and Google services

The third-party cookies on this site come from Google services (Google Analytics 4 and Google AdSense). For details on how Google uses cookies and the data they collect, see:

Managing cookies in your browser

Independently of our consent banner, every major browser lets you view, block, and delete cookies. You can refuse all cookies, accept only first-party cookies, or clear stored cookies at any time through your browser’s privacy or security settings — look for the cookie controls in Chrome, Firefox, Safari, or Edge. Keep in mind that blocking strictly necessary cookies may prevent parts of the site from working correctly.

Detailed cookie table

The specific cookies in use can change as we update the site or as Google updates its services. Rather than publish a list that goes stale, we maintain an up-to-date, detailed cookie table — names, providers, purposes, and retention periods — directly in the Complianz consent tool. Open the consent banner via the cookie settings link on the site to review it.
