The Trust page loads Google Tag Manager (GTM-NXVXDK), which enables tracking of visitor behavior on the page. This is a common analytics mechanism used across many commercial websites.
This analysis describes what Writer's agreement states, permits, or reserves. It does not constitute a legal determination about enforceability. Regulatory applicability and practical outcomes may vary by jurisdiction, enforcement context, and individual circumstances. Read our methodology
Google Tag Manager can be used to deploy a range of tracking scripts, including advertising and analytics tags. Whether and how visitor data is disclosed in Writer's privacy policy cannot be assessed from this page alone.
Interpretive note: The presence of GTM is confirmed, but the specific tags deployed, data collected, and consent mechanisms applied cannot be determined from the submitted HTML alone.
The updated Trust Center no longer displays granular cookie consent controls, cookie type descriptions, or preference management options. Users can no longer review or manage individual cookie categories (strictly necessary, functional, performance, targeting) through the Trust Center interface. Information about how cookies are used and what opt-out options exist is now available only through the separate Privacy Policy.
View change record →The updated Trust Center now discloses that Writer uses cookies and similar technologies to enhance website functionality, analyze usage, personalize experience, and support online advertising. The revised language states that by continuing to use the site, users agree to cookie use as described in Writer's Cookie notice. The terms explicitly establish that under applicable U.S. laws, users have the right to opt out of cookies used for targeted advertising purposes. You can manage your cookie preferences, including targeting cookies, by adjusting settings on the updated consent interface.
View change record →Visitors to the Trust page are subject to Google Tag Manager tracking, which may collect device identifiers, browsing activity, and session data. The specific data collected and how it is used depends on Writer's privacy policy and GTM configuration, which are not present in this submission.
