What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website, allowing it to remember your preferences and collect basic usage information.

Cookies We Use

  • Strictly necessary: These are required for the website to function — secure page navigation and form submissions. No consent is required for these.
  • Analytics (Google Analytics 4): We use GA4 to understand how visitors use our website — pages visited, session duration, device type, and approximate location. GA4 data is pseudonymised and aggregated. IP addresses are anonymised before being stored by Google. These cookies (_ga, ga[ID]) expire after 2 years. You can learn more at google.com/policies/privacy/partners.
  • Email functionality (Mailchimp): If you subscribe to our mailing list, Mailchimp may set tracking pixels to measure email open rates and link clicks. These activate only when you subscribe. Mailchimp’s privacy policy applies: mailchimp.com/legal/privacy.
  • Form functionality (Elementor): Our contact forms use Elementor, which may set session cookies for form submission and anti-spam purposes. These expire when you close your browser.

Managing Cookies

We do not use a cookie consent banner. You can manage or block cookies at any time through your browser settings — most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies under Privacy or Security settings. Note that blocking all cookies may affect some website functionality.

No Advertising Cookies

Checked Mates is ad-free. We do not permit third-party advertising cookies on our website.
