Canopy Press uses cookies and similar technologies on canopy.press to operate the site, understand how readers use it, and — where you opt in — measure affiliate referrals. This page explains what we use, why, and how to control it. It complements our Privacy Policy.
What is a cookie?
A cookie is a small text file stored on your device by your browser. Some cookies expire when you close the browser; others stay until they expire or you delete them. Similar technologies — local storage, pixels, beacons — work the same way and are covered here too.
Categories of cookies we use
1. Essential (always on)
These keep the site working. They handle things like remembering your cookie-consent choice, keeping you signed in if you have an account, and serving the correct page over HTTPS. You cannot opt out of these without breaking core functionality. We do not use essential cookies for advertising or analytics.
2. Analytics (opt-in)
We use Google Analytics 4 (measurement ID G-QKS66BRCZ0) to understand which articles readers find useful and where the site is slow or broken. Analytics cookies fire only after you accept them in the consent banner. The data is aggregated; we do not use it to identify individuals.
3. Affiliate tracking (opt-in)
When you click an affiliate link — Amazon Associates, Awin partners (Credit Karma, NordVPN, Kapitalwise, E-file.com), or others disclosed on our Affiliate Disclosure — the merchant may set a cookie that credits Canopy Press if you purchase. We do not see your purchase details or payment information; the merchant reports an aggregated commission only. These cookies fire only on the merchant's domain, not ours.
Managing your preferences
You can change or withdraw consent at any time using the "Manage consent" link in the footer (the cookie banner reopens there). You can also control cookies directly in your browser:
- Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data
- Safari: Settings → Privacy → Manage Website Data
- Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
- Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions
Most browsers also support a "Do Not Track" signal and a Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal. We honor GPC as an opt-out for residents of California and other US states that require it.
Your rights
If you are in the EU/EEA or UK, the GDPR gives you the right to access, correct, or delete personal data we hold about you, and to object to processing. If you are a California resident, the CCPA/CPRA gives you the right to know what we collect, request deletion, and opt out of "sale" or "sharing" of personal information (we do not sell personal information). Residents of other US states with comparable laws (Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut, Utah, Texas, Oregon, and others) have similar rights.
To exercise any of these rights, email [email protected] with the subject line "Privacy request."
How AI fits in
Canopy Press is produced with AI assistance — large language models help draft, fact-check, and review articles, with editorial oversight. AI does not affect what cookies we set or how we use them. Our cookie practices are no different from a fully human-written publication.
Changes to this policy
We update this page when our cookie practices change. The "Last updated" date at the top reflects the most recent revision. Material changes will be flagged in the cookie consent banner so existing visitors are re-prompted.
