Google preferred-source button Namegarage blog articles offer an optional Add as preferred source button. Its notice says that using it loads Google's service and allows its usage measurement. Activating the button after that notice gives consent to load Google's preferred-source client for this request and its measurement (Article 6(1)(a)). We do not save a lasting consent grant for this button. This choice is separate from Reader prompts, analytics and advertising. Nothing from this client loads on an idle visit. When you activate it, your browser contacts Google, which receives the public article address, your IP address, browser or device information and service-interaction events. Google's service may use cookies or similar storage. Google opens its own preferred-source flow and handles the selection; clicking the button does not sign you up for a newsletter or a paid subscription. Global Privacy Control keeps the embedded client off. Private addresses, operator sessions and unavailable browser storage also keep it off. The ordinary link still opens Google's preferences page without loading the client on our page; using your browser's Open link in new tab action keeps that link behavior. The client is not offered on podcast or archive pages. To stop the client in the current document, reload or leave the article and do not activate the button again. Reloading cannot undo information already sent to Google or a source preference you confirmed there. Google controls its service records, retention and source preferences; see Google's Privacy Policy [https://policies.google.com/privacy].

The preferred-source button described in Section 2 can load a Google service that may use cookies or similar storage. Its own notice and your activation supply consent for that request; saved Cookie settings choices do not enable it. Global Privacy Control keeps this client off.
