Cookie Policy

This page describes what cookies (and similar technologies) deepseekai.guide uses, and why. The short version: this site does not run advertising, behavioural tracking, or third-party analytics. The only cookies you may encounter are functional ones set by WordPress when an editor logs in to update an article.

Last updated: April 25, 2026.

What is a cookie?

A cookie is a small text file a site stores in your browser so that it can remember something between page loads — for example, that you are logged in. Cookies can be “first-party” (set by the site you are visiting) or “third-party” (set by another domain whose code is embedded on the page). Some uses are essential to the site working; others are about tracking visitor behaviour. This site only uses essential cookies.

What this site uses

Essential / functional cookies

WordPress sets a small number of cookies when an editor signs in to publish or update articles. These do not affect ordinary readers — if you visit the site without logging in, they are not set in your browser. They include:

  • wordpress_logged_in_* — set on editor login to keep the editor signed in.
  • wordpress_sec_* — used for authentication on admin pages.
  • wp-settings-* — stores editor UI preferences inside the WordPress dashboard.

If you have never logged into the site, your browser does not receive any of these.

Server-level / hosting cookies

Our hosting provider may set short-lived cookies for caching, load balancing, or security (for example, blocking obviously abusive traffic). These are operational, not analytical. They do not identify you to us beyond what is in the standard server log described in our Privacy Policy.

What this site does not use

  • No Google Analytics, Hotjar, Mixpanel, Plausible, Matomo, or similar analytics — first- or third-party.
  • No Facebook Pixel, TikTok Pixel, LinkedIn Insight Tag, or other social-platform trackers.
  • No advertising cookies. The site does not show third-party ads.
  • No behavioural retargeting.
  • No comment-system cookies (we do not run on-site comments at the moment).

If we add any of the above in the future — for example, privacy-friendly analytics — we will update this page first and disclose it before turning the change on.

Your choices

Because the site does not depend on tracking cookies, you can use it normally with all third-party cookies blocked. Most browsers let you:

  • View and delete cookies stored for any site, including this one.
  • Block third-party cookies entirely.
  • Set “Do Not Track” or equivalent privacy headers (which we honour by default — there is no profile to opt out of).

Vendors publish cookie controls under different names; if you are unsure where the controls live, search your browser’s settings for “Cookies” or “Privacy”.

Changes to this policy

If we change what cookies the site uses, we will update this page and change the “Last updated” date at the top. Material changes will be flagged at the top of the page for at least 30 days.
