Cookie Policy

Last updated: April 29, 2026

AmericaByNumbers (“we”, “us”, “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies on https://americabynumbers.com (the “Service”). This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, which cookies we use, why we use them, and how you can manage your preferences. For full context on our data practices, see our Privacy Policy.

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that websites place on your device to remember information about your visit. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, remember user preferences, and provide reporting information to site owners. Similar technologies include web beacons, pixels, and local storage.

Categories of Cookies We Use

Consent Mode

We use Google Consent Mode v2. By default, all non-essential cookies are blocked until you make a choice in our cookie consent banner. No analytics or advertising cookies are set before you provide explicit consent.

The following cookies may be used on our website:

Microsoft Clarity (Behavioral Analytics)

In addition to Google Analytics 4, we use Microsoft Clarity to record anonymized behavioral metrics (click maps, scroll heatmaps, session replays). Clarity loads only after you grant consent for Analytics cookies, and is configured in Strict Masking mode — all text content is masked client-side before being transmitted to Microsoft, so personally identifiable information typed into forms is not captured.

Cookies set by Microsoft Clarity (only after consent):

Cookie Name Provider Purpose Category Duration
_clck Microsoft Clarity Persists the Clarity user ID and preferences for the site (Strict Masking enabled). Analytics 1 year
_clsk Microsoft Clarity Connects multiple page views by a user into a single Clarity session. Analytics 1 day
CLID, MUID, ANONCHK, SM Microsoft / clarity.ms Identifies unique browsers across Microsoft properties for analytics aggregation. Analytics Up to 1 year

Opt out of Clarity: Decline Analytics cookies in our Cookie Settings — Clarity will not load. You can also send a Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal from your browser; we honor it as a withdrawal of analytics consent.

Managing Your Cookie Preferences

You can manage your cookie preferences at any time:

CCPA “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information”

We do not sell your personal information. We may share data with Google for analytics and advertising purposes, which may constitute “sharing” under the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA). California residents can opt out of sharing via our Cookie Settings or the Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information page.

Changes to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. We will notify you of material changes by posting the updated policy on this page and updating the “Last updated” date. We encourage you to review this Cookie Policy periodically.
