This Cookie Policy explains how Freelancer Money Guide («we,» «us,» or «our»), available at https://freelancermoneyguide.com/ (the «Site»), uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit the Site. It should be read together with our Privacy Policy.
By using the Site and accepting cookies through our cookie banner, you agree to the use of cookies as described in this policy. You can change your choice at any time (see «How to manage your cookie preferences» below).
1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your computer, phone, or tablet when you visit a website. They allow the website to recognize your device, remember your preferences, and understand how you use the site. Similar technologies, such as web beacons, pixels, and local storage, work in a comparable way, and we refer to all of them as «cookies» in this policy.
Cookies can be:
- Session cookies, which are deleted when you close your browser.
- Persistent cookies, which stay on your device until they expire or you delete them.
- First-party cookies, which are set by our Site.
- Third-party cookies, which are set by other companies whose services we use, such as advertising and analytics providers.
2. Why we use cookies
We use cookies for the following purposes:
Strictly necessary cookies
These cookies are essential for the Site to work properly. They keep the Site secure, remember your cookie consent choice, and support basic functions such as login sessions and comment forms. They do not require your consent and cannot be switched off in our systems.
Preference cookies
These cookies remember choices you make (for example, your language or display settings) so we can give you a more personalized experience.
Analytics and performance cookies
These cookies help us understand how visitors find and use the Site, which articles are most popular, and where we can improve. The information collected is aggregated and generally does not identify you directly.
Advertising and targeting cookies
We display ads on the Site through Google AdSense. Google and its advertising partners use cookies to show ads, limit how many times you see the same ad, measure ad performance, and, where permitted and with your consent, show ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites (personalized advertising).

Note: The exact cookies may change over time. We update this table when our setup changes.

6. Your privacy rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights over your personal data, including the right to access, correct, delete, or restrict its use, and to opt out of certain kinds of advertising.

7. «Do Not Track» signals
Some browsers offer a «Do Not Track» (DNT) setting. There is currently no uniform standard for responding to DNT signals, so the Site does not respond to them at this time.

When we make changes, we will update the «Last updated» date at the top of this page. If the changes are significant, we may also show a notice on the Site or ask for your consent again.
