Cookies are small text files a website stores in your browser. This page describes which cookies and storage technologies trendysum.com uses and how you can manage them.
In Short
The website uses strictly necessary cookies for core security and functionality, and Google Analytics 4 (GA4) for aggregate traffic measurement.
We implement Google Advanced Consent Mode v2: by default, all analytics and advertising storage parameters are set to denied, and no tracking cookies are written until you provide explicit consent via the cookie banner. Consent enables analytics only — the advertising parameters stay denied permanently, because the site carries no advertising and performs no remarketing.

In addition, your theme preference (theme) and your cookie consent choices (cookie_consent_v2) are stored locally in your browser (localStorage).
