Cookie Disclosure
Last Updated: January 30, 2026
This page explains how Mitten Militia uses cookies and similar technologies. Not the chocolate chip kind—the small text files that help websites work better.
The short version
We use cookies to keep the site running smoothly, understand how people use it, and display ads that help support the platform. You can control most cookies through your browser settings. We don't use cookies to identify you personally or sell your data.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that websites store on your device. They help sites remember things—like whether you're logged in, what preferences you've set, or that you've visited before.
Some cookies are essential for the site to function. Others help us understand traffic patterns or allow our advertising partners to show relevant ads.
Cookies can be “first-party” (set by us) or “third-party” (set by our partners, like ad networks or embedded video providers).
How we use cookies
Here's a breakdown of the types of cookies you may encounter on Mitten Militia:
Essential cookies
These are necessary for the site to work properly. They handle things like:
- Keeping you logged in during your session
- Remembering your preferences
- Security and fraud prevention
You can't opt out of essential cookies without breaking core site functionality.
Analytics cookies
These help us understand how visitors use the site—which pages are popular, where people spend time, and how they navigate. This information is aggregated and doesn't identify you personally.
We use this data to improve the site experience, not to build individual profiles.
Advertising cookies
Mitten Militia displays ads to support the platform. Our advertising partners may use cookies to:
- Show ads relevant to your interests
- Limit how often you see the same ad
- Measure ad performance
You can opt out of personalized ads (more on that below).
Third-party cookies
Some cookies on our site come from third parties. Here are the main ones:
Google (AdSense & DoubleClick)
Google serves ads on our site through AdSense. They may use the DoubleClick cookie to show ads based on your visits to this site and others across the web.

Ezoic
Ezoic helps optimize ad delivery and site performance. They may set cookies to serve personalized ads and measure engagement.

YouTube (Embedded Videos)
When you watch an embedded YouTube video on our site, YouTube may set cookies on your device. These are used for video playback, analytics, and advertising.
YouTube's cookie usage is governed by Google's Privacy Policy.
Your choices
You have control over how cookies are used. Here are your options:
Browser settings
Most browsers let you block or delete cookies. Check your browser's help section for instructions. Keep in mind that blocking all cookies may affect how the site works.
Opt out of personalized ads
You can opt out of personalized advertising from Google and many other ad networks:
Opting out of personalized ads doesn't remove ads entirely—you'll still see ads, they just won't be tailored to your browsing history.
Do Not Track
Some browsers offer a “Do Not Track” setting. There is no universal standard for how sites should respond to this signal, and our third-party partners may not honor it. Browser-level cookie controls are generally more effective.
Updates to this page
We may update this Cookie Disclosure as our practices or partners change. When we do, we'll update the “Last Updated” date at the top.
For more detailed information about how we handle your data, see our Privacy Policy.
