Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how wetrackeverything.com (the “Site”), operated by the Webmaster, uses cookies and similar technologies, and how you can control them. It should be read together with our Privacy Policy.

Last updated: 12 September 2026

1. What cookies are

A cookie is a small text file that a website stores on your device when you visit it, and reads back on later visits. Similar technologies — pixels, web beacons, local storage and software development kits — do comparable things. Throughout this policy the word “cookies” covers all of them.

Cookies can be first-party (set by this Site) or third-party (set by another company whose service runs on this Site). They can also be session cookies, deleted when you close your browser, or persistent cookies, which stay for a set period.

2. Your consent

The first time you visit, a banner asks what you agree to. Only strictly necessary cookies are set before you choose. Analytics and advertising cookies are loaded only if you accept them, in line with Article 5(3) of the ePrivacy Directive and the consent requirements of the GDPR.

Refusing is as easy as accepting, and refusing costs you nothing but some measurement on our side. You can change your mind at any time — see section 5.

3. The categories we use

A. Strictly necessary

These make the Site work: they remember your cookie choices, keep a session going, protect forms against abuse and let the administrator log in. They cannot be switched off, and under EU and UK rules they do not require consent because without them the service you asked for cannot be delivered.

B. Analytics

These count visitors and show us how the Site is used — which pages are read, how people arrive, where they lose interest — so that it can be improved. They are set only with your consent.

  • Google Analytics — provided by Google Ireland Limited for visitors in the EEA and the UK, and by Google LLC elsewhere. Privacy policy · Browser opt-out add-on.
  • Microsoft Clarity — provided by Microsoft Corporation, where enabled. It produces aggregated heatmaps and session replays of how pages are used. Privacy statement.

C. Advertising and conversion measurement

These record what you do on the Site so that the effectiveness of marketing can be measured and audiences can be built on third-party platforms. They are set only with your consent.

  • Meta Pixel — provided by Meta Platforms Ireland Limited for visitors in the EEA and the UK, and by Meta Platforms, Inc. elsewhere. Privacy policy · Ad preferences.

This Site does not run pay-per-click advertising of its own, and does not use Google Ads remarketing tags.

4. The cookies in detail

Names and lifetimes are set by the providers and can change without notice on their side. This table reflects our understanding at the date above.

5. Changing or withdrawing your consent

You can reopen the cookie banner and change your choices at any time using the cookie settings link in the footer. Withdrawing consent stops further collection; it does not undo what was collected while consent was active, though you can ask us to delete that separately under the Privacy Policy.

You can also block or delete cookies in your browser. Note that deleting cookies also deletes the one that records your refusal, so the banner will ask again on your next visit.

If your browser sends a Global Privacy Control signal, we treat it as a refusal of advertising cookies.

6. Affiliate links

Links on this Site to the products we recommend are affiliate links. Clicking one takes you to the vendor’s own website, which will set its own cookies — typically one that records that you arrived from here, so that any resulting subscription is credited to us. Those cookies are governed by the vendor’s cookie and privacy policies, not by this one. No affiliate cookie is set on this Site itself.

7. Changes

We update this policy when the tools on the Site change or when providers change their own cookies. The date at the top shows the current version.
