Quick summary — what this cookie policy covers
This page explains the categories of cookies that AirPurifierFAQ uses, why those cookies are set, and what effect they have on your browsing and privacy. It also explains how cookies relate to our revenue model (advertising and affiliate links) and points to our Privacy Policy and Affiliate Disclosure for more detail. If you need to make a data request or have a privacy question, see Privacy Policy or contact us via Contact Us.
Cookie categories we use (high-level)
We describe cookies in plain terms so you can choose what to allow.
- Essential / Strictly necessary: Required for core site functions such as navigation, session management, and secure form submissions. These are usually set without asking because they keep the site usable.
- Performance / Analytics: Collect aggregated, non-identifying information about how visitors use the site (pages visited, errors, load times) so we can improve content and reliability.
- Functional / Preference: Remember choices you make on the site—language, display preferences, or whether you’ve dismissed a notification—so we don’t prompt you repeatedly.
- Advertising / Targeting: Used to select and measure ads and to support affiliate tracking that credits referrals when you follow links to retailers. These may be set by third-party ad or affiliate partners.
Detailed cookie table (editor: populate from CMS)
The authoritative list of specific cookies, their issuer, purpose and retention period should be published here from the site cookie log or tag manager. Do not invent cookie names or retention periods in this policy text; keep this table synced with the implementation.
| Cookie name | First/Third‑party | Purpose (one sentence) | Duration | Source / Domain | Vendor policy |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Editor note: populate this table from the site’s cookie registry or tag manager. Mark conditional cookies (set only with consent) and link to the consent-management tool configuration. | |||||
How and why we use cookies on this site
Cookies support practical user-facing features and site maintenance. Examples relevant to AirPurifierFAQ:
- Keeping you signed in to any account pages and preserving information entered into forms while you move between review pages.
- Collecting anonymous usage metrics so our editors can prioritise site improvements, refine testing and review formats, and fix performance issues.
- Remembering display preferences (such as text size or dismissed newsletter prompts) so the site respects your choices on return visits.
- Enabling affiliate referral tracking so we can receive a commission if you purchase through a link we provide; we disclose our relationships in the Affiliate Disclosure.
Third-party cookies and embedded content
Some site features rely on third-party services (analytics providers, ad networks, embedded videos or social widgets). Those services may set their own cookies and have independent privacy practices. We list known third parties in the detailed cookie table and link to their policies where available. We do not control third parties’ practices; if you block third-party cookies, certain embedded content or personalised ads may not display or function correctly.
Consent, legal basis, and location-specific notes
Where local law requires (for example in the EU and UK), we obtain consent before setting non‑essential cookies. You can change those choices via the cookie banner or preference centre when available. For visitors in California, you may have rights under applicable state privacy laws to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information—see our Privacy Policy for details and instructions. If your jurisdiction gives you specific privacy rights, we will respect those; contact us via Contact Us for assistance or to submit a request.
How to manage and delete cookies (practical steps)
- Use the site cookie banner or preference centre to accept or reject non‑essential cookies when those controls are presented.
- Manage cookies in your browser: most browsers allow you to block third‑party cookies, clear stored cookies, or set exceptions per site. Look for “Privacy” or “Cookies” in your browser’s settings or help pages.
- Opt out of advertising cookies via vendor opt‑out pages or industry tools (for example opt‑out platforms maintained by advertising trade bodies). Blocking cookies may change how the site behaves or which features are available.
What happens if you disable cookies
Disabling non‑essential cookies improves privacy but can degrade the experience. Essential features (basic navigation, content viewing) should still work, but you may see:
- Repeated prompts for cookie consent or newsletters because the site cannot remember your choice.
- Reduced personalisation of content and ads.
- Loss of some embedded content or tracking that supports affiliate links, which may affect revenue that funds our editorial work.
