About Common Sense Domains and Services

Common Sense operates multiple websites and apps that support different aspects of our nonprofit mission. While these services may appear related, they operate on different domains and, in some cases, different systems. CommonSenseMedia.org and the Common Sense Media App

These services provide:

  • Age-appropriate ratings and reviews for media, including movies, TV shows, books, games, apps, and podcasts
  • Parenting and family guidance resources
  • Research, advocacy, and related nonprofit initiatives

The information below provides an overview of the primary resources available through CommonSense.org and its Education section.

CommonSense.org

CommonSense.org provides information about Common Sense’s nonprofit mission and organizational initiatives, including:

  • Research and advocacy efforts
  • Programs supporting children’s digital well-being
  • Educational initiatives and resources

 

CommonSense.org/education

The /education section is part of the CommonSense.org domain and provides:

  • Resources for educators
  • Educational programs and curricula
  • Privacy resources
  • Edtech evaluations and related materials

 

How Cookie Preferences Work Across Domains

Cookie consent preferences are managed at the domain, browser, and device level.

This means:

  • Preferences selected on one domain may not automatically apply to another domain or app
  • Preferences are specific to each browser and device you use
  • If you clear your cookies or use a different browser or device, you may need to set your preferences again

For example:

  • Preferences selected on CommonSenseMedia.org do not automatically carry over to CommonSense.org.
  • Preferences selected in one browser (such as Chrome) may not apply in another browser (such as Safari)
  • Mobile app privacy settings are managed separately from website cookie settings

To maintain consistent preferences, please use the Cookie Preference Center available in the footer of each applicable website.

Additional Information About Cookie Categories

You may see the same cookie categories displayed across multiple Common Sense properties because consent management tools are configured at the domain level. However, the appearance of a category does not necessarily mean that cookies from that category are used on the specific page or section you are visiting.

For example, some sections of our websites may not use advertising-related cookies even if those categories appear in the consent interface.

Third-Party Embedded Content

Some pages may include embedded third-party content, such as YouTube videos or other external media. If you interact with this content, you may be redirected to, or interact directly with third-party platforms that apply their own cookies, tracking technologies, and privacy practices.
