Effective Date: May 6, 2026 Last Updated: May 6, 2026
This page lists every cookie the MycoQuest marketing website (mycoquest.app) sets on your device, what each one does, and how you can manage them.
For our broader privacy practices, including how we handle data in the MycoQuest application and on our other sites, see our Privacy Policy.

Managing your choices
- Reopen the cookie banner: click "Cookie preferences" in the site footer at any time.
- Reject cookies entirely: click Reject in the banner. We will not set analytics cookies and Google Analytics will not record your visits.
- Browser-level Global Privacy Control (GPC): if your browser sends a GPC signal (Brave, Firefox, DuckDuckGo Privacy Browser), we automatically respect it as a Reject choice without showing the banner.
- Clear stored cookies: use your browser's privacy settings to clear cookies for
mycoquest.app. The banner will reappear on your next visit.
Third parties
Google Analytics is operated by Google LLC. When analytics cookies are accepted, your IP address and usage data are sent to Google's servers in the United States. See Google's privacy notice for how Google handles that data.
We have IP anonymization enabled and have not enabled Google Signals or cross-device tracking, both of which would expand what Google receives from us.
Changes to this policy
We will update the "Last Updated" date when we change which cookies we use. If we add a new analytics or marketing tool, we will update this page and the consent banner before it starts collecting data.
