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 use them. Some are essential for the site to function. Others help us learn which guides are useful so we can write more of them.

Essential cookies
Required for the site to work. These store your cookie consent choice and popup dismissal state. They do not track you across websites. No consent is required for these under GDPR, but we disclose them for transparency.
Analytics cookies (Google Analytics 4)
We use GA4 to understand which guides are read, how long visitors spend on pages, and where traffic comes from. This helps us prioritise which content to update and create. Data is aggregated and we have IP anonymisation enabled. We do not use analytics data to identify individual visitors.
EU/EEA visitors: Analytics cookies are not loaded until you give explicit consent via the cookie banner.
Other visitors: Analytics cookies load by default. You can opt out at any time using the cookie banner or the link below.
Marketing cookies (Facebook Pixel)
When enabled, the Facebook Pixel tracks when someone downloads our free guide. We use this only to measure whether our content reaches the right audience. We do not run paid advertisements or sell data to third parties. If you decline marketing cookies, the pixel never loads.
How to control your cookies
You have full control over non-essential cookies:
- First visit: The cookie banner lets you accept all, decline all, or choose category by category.
- Change your mind:
- Browser settings: You can block or delete cookies through your browser at any time. Blocking essential cookies may prevent some features from working correctly.
Third-party services
Google and Facebook set their own cookies when their services are loaded. We do not control the contents of these cookies. For more information, see:
