Cookie Policy
Last updated: March 3, 2026
What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help sites remember your preferences
and understand how you interact with content. Some technologies like localStorage and sessionStorage
serve similar purposes without being traditional cookies.
Essential Storage
These are required for the site to function properly and cannot be disabled. They do not collect personal data or track you across websites.
| Name | Type | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
cookie_consent | localStorage | Stores your cookie preference (accepted/rejected) | Persistent |
fs_shown | sessionStorage | Prevents exit-intent popup from re-appearing during a session | Session |
theme | localStorage | Remembers your light/dark mode preference | Persistent |
Analytics Cookies
We use Google Analytics 4 (GA4) to understand how visitors use our site. GA4 is only loaded if you click "Accept All" on our cookie consent banner. If you choose "Essential Only", no analytics cookies are set.
| Name | Provider | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
_ga | Distinguishes unique visitors | 2 years | |
_ga_* | Maintains session state | 2 years |
We also use Cloudflare Web Analytics, which is completely cookie-free and does not collect personal data or track users across websites. It runs regardless of your cookie preference because it requires no cookies or personal data.
Third-Party Cookies
When you click affiliate links on our site (e.g., links to Amazon, VPN providers, or other partners), those third-party sites may set their own cookies to track your referral. These cookies are governed by the respective third party's privacy policy, not ours.
Common affiliate partners that may set cookies:
- Amazon Associates — tracks referrals for commission purposes
- VPN partners (Surfshark, NordVPN, ExpressVPN, IPVanish) — track referrals and conversions
