This is the full list of what pokebeans.com stores on your device, why, and how to get rid of it. It’s short, because this site doesn’t do much.
The summary: nothing that tracks you runs unless you agree to it. If you decline the cookie banner, or never touch it, no analytics load at all — not in a reduced form, not anonymously. The script isn’t loaded in the first place.
Essential — always on
These make the site work and remember your own choices. They don’t track you and they aren’t shared with anyone.
What Why How long
Consent cookies (names beginning cmplz_) Remember what you chose on the cookie banner, so you aren’t asked again on every page Up to a year
pb-theme (browser storage, not a cookie) Remembers whether you picked light or dark mode using the button in the header Until you clear your browser data
We’ve listed pb-theme even though it’s technically local storage rather than a cookie, because it’s still something this site puts on your device and you should know about it. It holds one word — the name of a colour scheme — and it never leaves your browser.
Statistics — only if you agree
What Why How long
Google Analytics (_ga and related) Tells us which pages people actually read and which they leave, so we know what’s worth writing Up to about two years
Google Analytics records things like your approximate location, browser and device, and the pages you looked at. IP addresses are anonymised. We’ve turned off the settings that would let Google use this data for its own advertising products, and we don’t run any advertising or remarketing tags on this site.
What we see are aggregate numbers — how many people read the Shipping page, whether anyone reaches the Backroom — not a file on you.
The Collectr list — only if you click
Our Backroom Inventory page can show our live card list, which is hosted by Collectr rather than by us. It doesn’t load until you press the button, precisely because loading it brings Collectr’s own cookies and their own analytics onto the page.
If you press it, you’re loading Collectr’s page inside ours, and their cookie practices apply to that part. If you don’t press it, nothing from Collectr reaches your browser. The card list is also available on Collectr’s own site if you’d rather go there directly.
What this site doesn’t use
No advertising or remarketing cookies
No social media pixels or trackers — the links to Facebook, Instagram, X and TikTok in our footer are ordinary links, not embeds, and they set nothing until you click them
No embedded videos, maps or fonts loaded from third parties
No user accounts, so nothing that tracks you between visits
Changing your mind
You can change or withdraw your choice at any time on our cookie settings page, or through the cookie settings link in the footer of every page. Withdrawing consent stops analytics loading on your next page view.
You can also clear cookies in your browser settings, and most browsers let you block them entirely. If you do, this site still works — nothing here depends on a cookie except remembering your own preferences.
We respect Global Privacy Control. If your browser sends that signal, we treat it as a decision not to be tracked and don’t ask again.

How we handle personal information generally — what we collect when you order, how long we keep it, and how to have it deleted — is in our Privacy Policy.
