Google AdSense and Advertising
We use Google AdSense to display advertising on this site. Google, as a third-party vendor, uses cookies (including the DoubleClick DART cookie) to serve ads based on a visitor’s prior visits to this website and other websites on the internet.

You may opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. Alternatively, you can opt out of a third-party vendor’s use of cookies for personalised advertising by visiting www.aboutads.info.
Third-party ad servers or ad networks use technologies like cookies, JavaScript, or web beacons in their advertisements, which are sent directly to your browser. They automatically receive your IP address when this occurs. These technologies are used to measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns and to personalise the content you see. Wire Examiner has no access to or control over the cookies used by third-party advertisers.
Cookies
Cookies are small text files stored on your device. We use cookies for the following purposes:
- Essential cookies: Required for the site to function, such as remembering your login session.
- Preference cookies: Remember choices you make, such as display settings, so you do not need to re-enter them.
- Analytics cookies: Help us understand how visitors use the site so we can improve it.
- Advertising cookies: Used by Google AdSense and other advertising partners to serve relevant ads and measure their performance, as described above.
