What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device (computer, tablet, or smartphone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently, remember your preferences, and provide information to website owners.

In addition to cookies, we and our advertising partners may use similar technologies — including web beacons (also known as pixel tags or tracking pixels), your IP address, and other device identifiers — to recognise your browser, measure ad performance, and deliver relevant advertising as a result of ads being served on this site.

Google AdSense & Third-Party Advertising
We use Google AdSense to display advertisements that help keep OnlineMapMaker.com free. As a result, third parties — including Google — may place and read cookies on your browser, or use web beacons and your IP address to collect information, in order to:
- Serve ads based on your prior visits to our site and other websites
- Measure ad performance and conversions
- Create or update user profiles for interest-based (personalised) advertising
- Limit the number of times you see the same ad
Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visits to OnlineMapMaker.com and/or other sites on the internet. You can opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google Ad Settings.

Please note: Disabling all cookies may affect the functionality of OnlineMapMaker.com. Strictly necessary cookies cannot be disabled as they are essential for the website to operate correctly. Disabling analytics or advertising cookies will not degrade the core tool experience.
Do Not Track Signals
Some browsers include a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that signals websites not to track your activity. Because there is currently no universally accepted standard for how websites should respond to DNT signals, OnlineMapMaker.com does not alter its data collection practices in response to DNT signals at this time. We will revisit this position as industry standards develop.
Updates to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, legislation, or our data practices. When we make material changes, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. We encourage you to check back periodically.
