Cookie Policy
This page explains what we store on your device, why, and how to change it. It covers sexu.com and the other domains we publish from — sexu.site, sexu.me and sexu.name. What we do with data more generally is in our Privacy Policy.
What we mean by a cookie
A cookie is a small file a website asks your browser to keep. We also use technologies that work the same way for our purposes: storage inside your browser, and pixels loaded by our advertising partners. Everything on this page applies to all of them, whatever the technical name.
The two kinds we use
Strictly necessary. These make the site work. They hold your session, remember that you confirmed you are over 18 so you are not asked on every page, remember your cookie choice, and help us tell a person from an automated attack. We set these without asking, because the site does not function without them and they are not used to build a profile of you.
Advertising and analytics. These are optional. Advertising cookies are set by the partners who sell the adverts here; they use them to decide which advert to show and to avoid repeating one. Analytics cookies tell us which pages are used and where the site is slow.
Whether you were asked before these were set depends on how you reached the site. Some visitors see a choice on arrival, and for them nothing optional loads until they answer. Others do not see that choice, and for them these cookies may already be set. Either way you can switch them off on this page, and once you do, the scripts that set them stop loading, both on that visit and on every later one.
What is actually set
The table below lists every cookie and similar technology on the site, with who sets it, what it does, how long it lasts and which of the two kinds it belongs to.

| clickid (browser storage) | Sexu.Com, for advertising partners | the click id of the advertising campaign that brought the visit, used to account for that campaign | Advertising | until replaced by a newer one |
| ExoClick scripts and pixels (magsrv.com) | ExoClick, on its own domains | choosing which advert to show, frequency capping | Advertising | per its own policy |
| TrafficStars scripts and pixels (tsyndicate.com) | TrafficStars, on its own domains | choosing which advert to show, frequency capping | Advertising | per its own policy |
| AdSpyglass loader (a.trustcnt.online) | AdSpyglass, on its own domains | delivering the advert placements on the page | Advertising | per its own policy |
| zline0.com | an advertising network's delivery host | serving advert creatives | Advertising | per its own policy |
| Video adverts (VAST) | the network serving the roll | selecting and measuring the advert inside the player | Advertising | per its own policy |
We build this list from the site's own inventory and re-check it periodically. Advertising partners sometimes change what they set without telling us. If you find something on the site that is not listed here, that is a fault on our side and we want to know: tell us through the request form.
Refusing the optional cookies
You can refuse the optional cookies on this page at any time, in one click. Your choice is remembered.
Your current choice: not made yet.
Refusing does not restrict your access to this site or to any content on it, and we do not ask again on every page. What changes is the advertising: on some pages you will see less of it, and what you do see is not chosen using data about you.
You can also clear or block cookies in your browser settings. If you block the strictly necessary ones, parts of the site stop working, including the age confirmation, which will then be asked repeatedly.
What refusing does not do
Refusing stops identifiers being stored on your device. It does not stop your IP address and browser details reaching an advertising partner at the moment an advert loads, because that is how any advert is delivered: the request goes from your browser to them. Our Privacy Policy explains what that means and who those partners are.
Changing your mind
Whatever you chose, and whether or not you were asked when you arrived, you can set your preference here at any time. Refusing takes effect at once for everything we control, and we do not treat silence, scrolling or continued use as agreement.
Where a partner has already collected data under a consent you have withdrawn, use the request form and we will pass the request on with what we know about that partner.
Changes
When this page changes, the date below changes with it. If we add anything optional, we say so here before it loads.
