What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow a site to recognize your browser, remember preferences, and collect information about how the site is used. Similar technologies include pixels, tags, and local storage, which we refer to collectively as "cookies" in this policy.
How We Use Cookies
PicksCompass uses cookies to keep the Site running smoothly, understand how visitors use our guides, and measure the performance of the links we publish. We do not use cookies to build advertising profiles for sale to third parties.
Types of Cookies We Use
- Essential cookies — required for basic site functionality, such as remembering your cookie preference itself.
- Analytics cookies — help us understand which guides are useful and how visitors navigate the Site, so we can improve it.
- Affiliate & advertising cookies — set by third-party networks and advertising platforms (such as Google Ads) when you click an outbound link, used to attribute a purchase or measure ad performance.
Affiliate & Ad Tracking
Some outbound links on PicksCompass go to retailers or affiliate networks. When you click one of these links, a cookie may be placed by the destination site or its affiliate network to record that the visit originated from PicksCompass, so that we may earn a commission if you make a purchase. This tracking is controlled by the third party, not by PicksCompass, and is governed by their own privacy and cookie policies.
Managing Your Preferences
Most browsers let you view, delete, and block cookies through their settings. Blocking all cookies may affect how parts of the Site function. Where required by law, we present a cookie consent notice on your first visit so you can choose which non-essential cookies to allow.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time as our use of cookies changes or as legal requirements evolve. The "Last updated" date above reflects the most recent revision.
