Cookie Policy

Advertising with Raptive
Advertising is managed by Raptive. Its consent-management platform replaces the former Google AdSense consent message. Advertising preferences and analytics preferences serve different purposes; see the controls below. The required advertising disclosure is in our Privacy Policy.
Raptive’s Essential Ad Block Recovery attempts to load display ads when blocking is detected. This mode is designed to keep the Site’s content accessible. Applicable advertising choices still apply; “Essential” is the product mode’s name and does not mean that all of its cookies are strictly necessary.
About cookies and similar technologies
Cookies are small text files stored on your device by websites you visit. Together with our providers, we use cookies and similar technologies to operate the Site, measure how it is used, and show advertising that keeps the Site free.
How you control cookies on this site
Raptive’s advertising consent message lets visitors in the EEA, UK and Switzerland accept, decline or customize advertising preferences. Other regions may have different privacy controls, including an opt-out footer link. We use Google Advanced Consent Mode with analytics and advertising storage denied by default. Google Analytics loads before you make a choice. The consent system controls whether it may use analytics cookies; an advertising choice alone is not a blanket analytics cookie permission. Strictly necessary functions and storage are separate from optional analytics or advertising.
Before your choice and after you decline analytics consent, Google Analytics can send limited measurement requests without reading or writing analytics cookies. These cookieless requests can include the page address, referring page, timestamp, browser information and consent state. Google may use them for measurement and modeling; this does not guarantee modeled reports. With analytics consent, Analytics can use cookies and send fuller measurement data. Withdrawing that consent stops analytics cookie use and fuller measurement; limited cookieless requests can continue. “Cookieless” does not mean that no data is sent to Google.
You can also manage or delete cookies at any time through your browser settings, and use the advertising opt-out links further down this page.
Categories and examples of cookies we use
The table lists representative cookies and similar technologies, rather than a complete scan of every advertising partner. Actual advertising storage names and durations depend on the partner, region and choices. The advertising message provides the applicable partner list. Old cookies from the previous Google AdSense setup, such as FCCDCF, may remain in your browser until they expire or you delete them; they are not the new Raptive consent system.
| Cookie / technology | Purpose | Typical duration | Set by |
|---|---|---|---|
learn_volley_session & XSRF-TOKEN |
Strictly necessary. Keep the Site working and protect requests against cross-site request forgery. Required for the Site to function. | 2 hours | First party (Learn Volley) |
lv-units (local storage) |
Preference. Remembers metric or imperial units across the five site languages. Stored in your browser. | Until you clear it | First party (Learn Volley) |

lv-rotation-builder |
Preference. Saves your rotation-builder lineup, including names you enter. “Clear lineup” removes this saved copy. Anyone you share a copied lineup link with can see its included names. | Until you clear this site’s browser storage (or use Clear lineup for the saved lineup). | First party (Learn Volley) |
lv-practice-plan-v1 |
Practice planner: only when you choose Save, your session title, goal, activities and notes are stored on this device (lv-practice-plan-v1). They are not sent to us. Use Delete saved copy to remove them; exported backups are files you manage yourself. | Until you clear this site’s browser storage (or use Clear lineup for the saved lineup). | First party (Learn Volley) |
| Advertising consent cookies and similar storage | Consent and privacy choices. Remember choices and communicate applicable signals to Raptive and participating partners. | Varies by consent system and region; inspect your browser’s site data | Raptive and its consent providers |
__adblocker |
Ad-block detection. Records a detection state used by Raptive’s recovery code. A failed detector request may be treated as possible blocking. | 5 minutes when the detector request fails; other recovery storage may vary | First-party cookie set by Raptive’s code |
_ga, _ga_<id> |
Analytics. Google Analytics (GA4) helps us understand how visitors use the Site. Set only if you consent. | Up to 2 years | Third party (Google) |
| Advertising-partner cookies and identifiers | Advertising. Raptive, Google and other partners use these for ad delivery, frequency limits, measurement and, where permitted by your choices and applicable law, personalized advertising. | Varies by partner and technology | Raptive, Google and other advertising partners |
YouTube video player (www.youtube-nocookie.com) |
Embedded videos. Videos are click-to-play: before you click, only a preview image is loaded from i.ytimg.com and no cookies are set. After you click play, YouTube/Google may set cookies or use local storage on your device for playback and related purposes. See our Privacy Policy. |
Varies (set by YouTube) | Third party (Google/YouTube) |
Advertising, Raptive and third-party partners (IAB TCF)
Raptive manages our display and video ads. In the EEA, UK and Switzerland, its advertising consent message supports the IAB Europe Transparency & Consent Framework (TCF). Depending on applicable choices and law, advertising data can be shared with Google and other partners, including ad exchanges and demand-side platforms.
The applicable partner list is available in the advertising consent message. Registered vendors are published in the IAB Europe TCF vendor list. Declining personalized advertising or opting out of sale/sharing does not necessarily stop all ads. See the advertising disclosure in our Privacy Policy.
Changing your choice and “Do Not Sell or Share”
Use the footer’s advertising privacy link to reopen the choices available in your region: for example, “Update Privacy Preferences” or “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information”. For measurement, our separately installed Google Analytics follows the explicit analytics consent signal. Use "Cookie & consent settings" in the footer to review the available consent choices; you can withdraw measurement consent there. You can also delete site data in your browser. The advertising privacy controls respect Global Privacy Control (GPC) where applicable.
Withdrawing analytics consent stops analytics cookie use and fuller measurement, but does not stop the limited cookieless requests described above.
