Cookie Policy

Last updated: 2026-05-14

This Cookie Policy explains what cookies and similar technologies we use on ai-best.deals (the “Site”), why we use them, who else uses them through the Site, and how you can control them. For information about how we handle personal data more generally, see our Privacy Policy.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device by your browser when you visit a website. We also use related technologies such as local storage, session storage, pixels, and SDKs — we refer to all of these collectively as “cookies” in this policy. Cookies can be set by us (first-party) or by third parties whose content or services we use on the Site (third-party).

2. Categories of Cookies We Use

2.1 Strictly Necessary

These cookies are required for core functionality such as routing, security (CSRF protection), session management, and remembering your cookie-consent choices. The Site cannot function properly without them, so they cannot be disabled through our consent tool.

2.2 Performance and Analytics

We use Google Analytics 4 and PostHog to understand how visitors discover and use the Site, which content performs well, and where to improve the experience. These cookies collect aggregated and anonymized usage data such as page views, scroll depth, click events, and session duration.

2.3 Functionality

Functionality cookies remember your preferences (theme, dismissed banners, recently viewed tools) so the Site adapts to you on return visits.

2.4 Advertising

We may serve display advertising via Google AdSense and similar networks. These cookies (including the DoubleClick DART cookie) help measure ad delivery, frequency-cap ads, prevent fraud, and deliver more relevant ads based on your visit to this Site and other sites.

2.5 Affiliate Tracking

When you click an outbound affiliate link, the destination merchant or affiliate network (such as Impact, PartnerStack, ShareASale, Rewardful, AppSumo) sets a cookie on the merchant domain so they can attribute any subsequent purchase to us. We may also set a first-party cookie or use a server-side click ID to measure outbound performance.

3. Third-Party Vendors

The third parties that may set cookies through the Site include (but are not limited to): Google (Analytics, AdSense, DoubleClick, Tag Manager), PostHog, Cloudflare, Impact, PartnerStack, ShareASale, Rewardful, AppSumo, and embed providers (e.g. YouTube, Vimeo) when you load embedded media. Each of these vendors has its own privacy and cookie policy.

4. Your Choices

You have several ways to control cookies:

  • Consent banner. Where required by law (for example in the EEA, UK, and certain US states), we present a consent banner that lets you accept, reject, or customize non-essential cookies. You can change your choices at any time from the banner.
  • Browser settings.Most browsers let you block, delete, or alert you to cookies. See your browser's help for details. Blocking some cookies may break parts of the Site.
  • Ad personalization. Opt out of personalized advertising via Google Ads Settings, aboutads.info/choices, and (in the EU) youronlinechoices.eu.
  • Global Privacy Control (GPC). We honor the GPC signal where required by applicable law.

5. Retention

Cookie lifetimes vary. Session cookies expire when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain until they expire (typically between 30 days and 24 months) or until you delete them. Vendor cookies are subject to the vendor's own retention rules.

6. Changes

We may update this Cookie Policy as our use of cookies evolves. The “Last updated” date above reflects the most recent revision.
