Transparency & Your Choices

Cookie Policy

Last updated: April 2026

1. What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow a website to recognize your device, remember your preferences, and understand how you interact with its pages. We also use similar technologies such as pixel tags (tiny tracking images in pages or emails), local storage, and session storage. Throughout this policy, "cookies" refers to all of these technologies collectively. Cookies are simple data files — they are not programs and cannot install malware on your device.

2. How We Use Cookies

We use four categories of cookies:

Essential Cookies

Strictly necessary for the Site to function — page navigation, form submissions, session management, and security. These cannot be disabled without significantly affecting the Site.

Analytics Cookies

Help us understand how visitors interact with the Site (pages visited, time on page, traffic sources). Data is aggregated and anonymized. Our primary analytics provider is Google Analytics.

Affiliate Tracking Cookies

Set by third-party affiliate platforms when you click an affiliate link, so we can earn a commission if you sign up or purchase. These do not affect the price you pay.

Preference Cookies

Remember choices you've made — language, region, display settings, or cookie consent — so you don't have to reconfigure the Site on each visit.

3. Third-Party Cookies

Certain third-party services we integrate with may place their own cookies on your device. We do not control these cookies, and each provider has its own privacy policy.

  • Google Analytics — website traffic and behavior analysis (e.g. _ga, _ga_*, _gid cookies).
  • Affiliate networks — referral tracking for affiliate partnerships (e.g. Impact, ShareASale, CJ Affiliate, or direct partner programs).
  • Email service provider — tracking newsletter sign-ups and subscriber management.
  • Embedded content — third-party embeds (e.g. YouTube videos, social sharing widgets) may set their own cookies.

We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party service whose cookies you encounter on our Site.

4. Cookie Duration

Session cookies are deleted automatically when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain longer:

  • Analytics cookies typically expire after 6 months to 2 years.
  • Affiliate tracking cookies typically last 30 to 90 days.
  • Preference cookies generally persist for up to 1 year.

5. Managing Cookies

When you first visit our Site, a cookie consent banner lets you accept or decline non-essential cookies (analytics and affiliate tracking) before they're set. You can change your choice at any time by reopening your cookie preferences in the Site footer.

You can also manage cookies directly through your browser:

  • Chrome — Settings → Privacy and Security → Cookies and other site data.
  • Firefox — Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data.
  • Safari — Preferences → Privacy (blocks cross-site tracking by default).
  • Edge — Settings → Cookies and site permissions.

Disabling certain cookies may affect the Site's functionality — for example, blocking essential cookies may prevent form submissions. Blocking affiliate tracking cookies means our links will still work, but we may not receive credit for the referral. To opt out of Google Analytics specifically, install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

6. Do Not Track

Some browsers send a "Do Not Track" (DNT) signal. There is currently no universally accepted standard for how sites should respond to it, so DigitalToolUp does not alter its practices based on DNT signals at this time. You can still manage cookies directly through your browser settings as described above.

7. Updates to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy to reflect changes in the cookies we use or for legal or operational reasons. We'll update the "Last updated" date and post a notice on the Site for material changes. Continued use of the Site after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
