Cookie Policy

Cookies the site sets

None. letsgetbetterlife.com has no login and stores no preferences, so it has no reason to leave anything in your browser. Its two page counters, Cloudflare Web Analytics and Umami, were chosen because they work without cookies. The cookies a visit can involve come from two outside services, Google and Cloudflare, described below.

Analytics cookies from Google

Google Analytics places two first-party cookies: _ga, a random identifier that separates new readers from returning ones, and _ga_BGYXF1MBXZ, which follows the current visit. Each can last 2 years, and neither is used for advertising. Readers in the EEA, the UK, Switzerland, Brazil and Quebec do not receive them. Anyone else can switch them off in the privacy policy, which leaves one small cookie, ga_optout, to remember that decision.

Advertising cookies from Google

This site uses Google AdSense to display advertising. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to this website or other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to users based on their visit to this site and/or other sites on the Internet.

Alongside personalization, these cookies do the routine work of an ad system: showing an ad, keeping the same one from repeating too often, and confirming that it appeared. They are set through Google's advertising script and belong to Google and its vendors. The publisher cannot read them.

Consent in Europe

Visitors in the EEA, the UK and Switzerland are shown a Google-certified consent message before advertising identifiers are used. Declining it is a real choice: ads can still appear, but they are not personalized using your browsing on other sites. You can return to the message and change your answer at any time.

Cookies from Cloudflare

Pages are delivered through Cloudflare, which may place a strictly necessary cookie while doing so. Cookies of this kind tell ordinary visitors apart from automated traffic and keep a security check from repeating on every page. They are short-lived, they belong to the delivery layer rather than to the publication, and the publisher receives nothing from them. The privacy policy says more about what Cloudflare processes.

Telling the categories apart

The word "cookie" covers several different jobs, and it helps to keep them separate. A strictly necessary cookie lets a site be delivered safely, and removing it tends to break something. An analytics cookie lets a site owner count and study visitors. An advertising cookie lets an ad network choose ads and recognize interests across sites. On this site, the first category comes from Cloudflare and the third from Google. The second does not apply: visits are counted by a script that sets no cookie at all.

Your controls

Google's Ads Settings let you switch off personalized ads from Google. The industry opt-out pages at aboutads.info/choices and, for European readers, youronlinechoices.eu cover many other participating vendors.

Every current browser also lets you view and delete stored cookies, block them for particular sites, or refuse third-party cookies entirely. The settings usually sit under privacy or site settings, and their wording changes often enough between versions that step-by-step instructions here would soon mislead. A private window is the simplest option for a single visit, since it discards its cookies when closed.

Blocking every cookie, the strictly necessary ones included, can make security checks repeat or stop some pages from loading, here and elsewhere. That is a reasonable trade to make, as long as you make it knowing the cost.
