# AptivaPrep Cookie Policy

> Markdown version of the [cookie policy page](/cookie-policy).

AptivaPrep stores a visitor's analytics choice in the browser and offers optional Google Analytics 4 and Vercel Web Analytics. Visitors can browse resource previews and follow TES links whether they accept or reject analytics.

## Essential preference storage

The site saves the analytics choice in browser local storage under `aptivaprep_cookie_consent`. The value is `granted` or `denied`, so the choice persists between visits. Local storage can also be cleared through browser settings.

## Optional analytics

If a visitor accepts analytics and the site has a measurement ID configured, Google Analytics 4 measures visits and clicks on links to TES resources. Google may set analytics cookies such as `_ga`. Analytics does not load before consent. Rejecting analytics does not block access to the resource pages or TES links.

With consent, Vercel Web Analytics also measures page views using aggregated data without setting analytics cookies.

## Changing your choice

Use **Cookie Preferences** in the website footer to change or withdraw a prior choice. Withdrawing consent stops AptivaPrep analytics and clears its Google Analytics cookies. When you follow a TES link, you leave AptivaPrep; TES has its own privacy and cookie policies.
