Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how CitizenGuide.ph may use cookies and similar technologies.

What cookies are

Cookies are small pieces of data a website or service can store in a browser. Similar technologies include local storage and identifiers used for site functionality, analytics, security, consent choices, and advertising.

How CitizenGuide may use them

  • Essential and functional use: to support site behavior and preferences.
  • Security: to help identify abuse, suspicious activity, or repeated form submissions.
  • Analytics and performance: to understand how pages are reached and how the site performs.
  • Advertising: to measure or serve ads when advertising is enabled and permitted.
  • Local checklist state: some interactive guide checklists may remember progress in the visitor's own browser rather than creating a government record.

Google and third-party technologies

If Google Analytics, AdSense, or another third-party service is enabled, that provider may set or read cookies or similar identifiers subject to its own policies and applicable consent requirements.

Consent choices

Where required, visitors may be shown a consent-management message before non-essential advertising or analytics technologies are used. Available choices depend on region, browser, site configuration, and the services active at the time.

Managing cookies

You can delete or block cookies through browser settings. Blocking some technologies can affect preferences, analytics, advertising, or certain interactive features.

Government websites use their own cookies

When you follow an official link to a government portal, that site's own cookie and privacy rules apply. CitizenGuide.ph does not control cookies used by an external agency website.
