This page explains how techlivinghq.com uses cookies and similar technologies, what each kind is for, and how you can control them. For the wider picture — what we collect, how affiliate links work, and how to reach us — see our Privacy Policy.
What a cookie is
A cookie is a small text file that a website asks your browser to store. It can’t run programs or read files on your device. It usually holds an identifier, a preference, or a short-lived session value, and the site that set it can read it back on your next visit.
The cookies we use
- Strictly necessary. The cookies WordPress sets to keep the site working — a session value when you submit a form or leave a comment, and a preference cookie that remembers your name and email if you comment. Blocking these can break parts of the site.
- Performance and caching. Our caching layer (LiteSpeed Cache) stores a copy of a page for a short time so it loads quickly on the next visit. Its cookie doesn’t identify you.
- Analytics. We use Google Analytics to see which pages get read — page views, traffic sources, and rough country. Google sets cookies (for example
_ga) to do this and processes that data under Google’s privacy policy. We look at totals and trends, not at a profile of an individual visitor, and we don’t try to connect that data to your name. - Affiliate tracking. When you click a product link, the retailer — or PartnerBoost, the affiliate network in between — sets its own cookies so a purchase can be credited to this site. Those are set by them, not by us, and we never see your order details, address, or payment information.
Cookies we don’t control
Once you click through to a retailer, that site sets its own cookies under its own cookie and privacy policies. We can’t read them, change them, or delete them from here. The same applies to any third-party service we link to.
How to control cookies
- Every major browser lets you see the cookies stored for a site, block third-party cookies, and delete everything when you close it. This site keeps working if you do.
- Private or incognito windows drop most cookies when you close the window.
- To stop Google Analytics measuring you across sites, use Google’s opt-out browser add-on.
Do Not Track
If your browser sends a “Do Not Track” signal, we don’t attempt to override it.
Changes to this page
If we add or remove a tool that sets cookies, we’ll update this page and the date below rather than leave it out of date.
