Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer or mobile device by websites that you visit. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, provide a better user experience, and give website owners information about how the site is being used. Cookies can be "persistent" (remaining on your device until they expire or are deleted) or "session" cookies (deleted when you close your browser).
AdBlockingGuide uses a minimal number of cookies, all of which are essential or functional. We do not use advertising cookies, third-party tracking cookies, or analytics cookies that identify individual users. Our approach to cookies reflects our commitment to user privacy — the same values we teach in our ad-blocking guides.
