Cookies are small text files stored on your device (computer, smartphone, tablet) when you visit a website. They help websites remember your preferences, improve performance, and deliver relevant content — including affiliate tracking.
We categorize cookies as follows:
Essential Cookies
These are strictly necessary for the operation of our website. They allow core functionality such as page navigation, security (e.g. Cloudflare), and cookie consent management.
Analytics Cookies (only with your consent)
We use services like Google Analytics (with anonymized IPs) to understand how users interact with the site. These help us improve performance and usability.
Affiliate Tracking Cookies
When you click on a Surfshark link, a cookie may be placed by their affiliate network to attribute sales to us. These cookies do not track personal data but are necessary for fair commission assignment.
Preference Cookies (optional)
These remember your settings (e.g., dark mode preference, language selection).
We may use the following tools, which also set their own cookies under their privacy policies:
Surfshark (affiliate tracking)
Google Analytics
Cloudflare (security, DDoS mitigation)
YouTube/Vimeo (when embedding video content)
Upon visiting our website, a cookie banner appears requesting your consent for non-essential cookies. You can:

You may also manage cookies through your browser settings (e.g. clear cookies, block third-party cookies, etc.).
Session cookies are deleted after you close your browser.
Persistent cookies remain for a set period (e.g., up to 6 months) or until you delete them.
Affiliate tracking cookies typically expire within 30 to 90 days, depending on the provider.
