Cookie Policy
A plain list of every cookie this site sets, what each one does, who sets it and how long it stays on your device.
What are cookies
Small files, stored by your browser
Cookies are tiny text files a website places on your device. They help the site remember things — like whether you have visited before — and let ad networks show relevant ads. Cookies cannot run programs, carry viruses or read data from your hard drive.

Your control
How to turn cookies off
You have full control over cookies in your browser. Here is how to manage them across the major browsers.
| Browser | How to manage cookies |
|---|---|
| Chrome | Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data. You can block all third-party cookies or clear specific ones. |
| Firefox | Preferences → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data. Firefox blocks many third-party tracking cookies by default. |
| Safari | Preferences → Privacy. Safari blocks third-party cookies by default. Uncheck "Prevent cross-site tracking" to allow them. |

Google Analytics opt-out
Install the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on. It works across all sites that use Google Analytics.
Blocking all cookies will not break this site. The pages, tools and guides will work the same way. Ads may become less relevant because the network cannot learn what topics you are interested in.
Updates
Cookie list may change
If we add or remove services that set cookies, we will update this page. Google may also add or rename cookies as their ad system evolves. The effective date of this policy is June 16, 2026.
