Adpharm uses a few cookies and browser storage methods for essential purposes, such as:
Although we are all about advertising, we ironically do not use advertising to monetize the site since we charge a subscription fee. Therefore, we do not gather your surfing habits or sell any personal information to third parties. Our analytics are self-hosted/first-party and used purely to understand broad, anonymized traffic trends.
The following is a list of the cookies and storage methods that we use.
adpharmJ1MfgZ8E_data
This application cookie helps navigate the site, remember UI settings, and maintain your session state.
PHPSESSID
A standard PHP session cookie used to identify your unique session on the server, keeping you logged in as you move between pages.
Matomo Analytics
(_pk_id, _pk_ses)
We use Matomo to measure how visitors interact with our website. These first-party cookies collect anonymous information (such as pages visited) to help us improve the gallery. Unlike third-party trackers, this data stays with us.
Browser Session Storage
(cpg_zip_pids)
We use your browser's temporary session storage to remember which ads you have checked off when using the "Select" and "ZIP SELECTED" bulk download features. This data is cleared automatically when you close your browser.
Stripe (Third-Party)
When you upgrade to a Premium subscription or manage your billing, our payment processor (Stripe) sets strictly necessary cookies for fraud prevention and security.
