Cookie Policy

Last updated: 22 April 2026

The Short Version

  • We use a small number of cookies — only what is necessary and useful.
  • Essential cookies cannot be turned off — the site would break without them.
  • We do not use advertising cookies by default; only if you accept them.
  • You can manage all non-essential cookies via your browser settings.

Analytics Cookies

We use privacy-conscious analytics to understand how visitors use Good.You. This helps us improve content and tools. Our analytics are configured to:

  • Anonymise IP addresses before storage
  • Not use cross-site tracking or fingerprinting
  • Not share data with third parties for advertising purposes
  • Respect Do Not Track (DNT) browser signals

To opt out of analytics cookies, you can decline them in our consent banner or disable them in your browser settings.

Advertising Cookies

Consent required before setting

If Good.You displays advertisements (e.g. via Google AdSense), those providers may set their own cookies. These will only be activated if you accept advertising cookies via our consent banner. Third-party advertising cookies are subject to the respective providers' privacy policies. We do not control how these providers use your data after it has been shared with them.
