This page describes what cookies (and similar technologies) deepseekai.guide uses, and why. The short version: this site shows display advertising via Google AdSense (which sets advertising cookies) and uses functional WordPress cookies. We do not run on-site behavioural analytics or affiliate tracking.
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.
Advertising cookies
This site uses Google AdSense to serve display advertising. AdSense and its partner ad networks may set first- and third-party cookies for:
- Ad personalisation — to show ads relevant to your interests based on your activity on this and other sites.
- Frequency capping — to avoid showing the same ad too many times.
- Conversion tracking — to measure whether ads led to actions on advertiser sites.
- Fraud prevention — to detect and block invalid traffic.
A current list of vendors used by Google AdSense is available at https://support.google.com/adsense/answer/9012903.
You can opt out of personalised ads at https://adssettings.google.com/, or in the EEA/UK by adjusting your consent through the cookie banner. Disabling personalised ads does not remove ads — it makes them non-personalised.
What this site does NOT use
- No Google Analytics, Hotjar, Mixpanel, Plausible, Matomo, or similar visitor analytics.
- No Facebook Pixel, TikTok Pixel, LinkedIn Insight Tag, or other social-platform trackers.
- No on-site comment-system cookies (we do not run on-site comments at the moment).
- No affiliate or sponsorship-tracking cookies (we do not run affiliate links or sponsored posts).
If we add any of the above in the future — for example, privacy-friendly analytics — we will update this page first.
Your choices
You can use the site normally with third-party cookies blocked — only AdSense advertising will be affected (ads will still show but will be non-personalised). 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.
