1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are compact text files stored on your computer, tablet, or smartphone when you visit web pages. They permit the site to recall your visual preferences, verify security credentials, and assist in aggregate visitor analytics.

2. How We Implement Google Consent Mode v2

111111 strictly complies with modern consumer protection frameworks. We have integrated Google Consent Mode v2. When you first enter stevess.fun, optional tracking technologies are locked in a denied state until you affirmatively click "Accept All" or opt into individual categories.

Your choices are preserved in your local browser cache (localStorage) and communicated dynamically via gtag('consent', 'update', ...). You can change your choice anytime by using the trigger in our footer.
