Effective Date: August 31, 2025
At Consumer Health Support, your privacy and online experience matter to us. Like most professional websites, we use cookies and similar tracking technologies to improve functionality, personalize your experience, and analyze how our readers engage with our content.
This Cookie Policy explains in detail what cookies are, how and why we use them, the types of cookies we rely on, and what control you have over their use. Our goal is to be fully transparent so you understand exactly how your data is handled. By continuing to browse our website, you agree to the placement and use of cookies as described in this policy.
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small pieces of data that a website stores on your device (computer, phone, or tablet) when you visit. They act as memory for the website, enabling it to recognize your device, save your preferences, and enhance your browsing experience.
For example, cookies allow a website to remember if you previously accepted a cookie banner, which pages you visited most often, or what you placed in a shopping cart. While cookies cannot directly run programs or deliver viruses, they do store behavioral data that helps websites function better and deliver relevant information.
Types of Cookies We Use
Not all cookies are the same. On Consumer Health Support, we may use different types of cookies depending on the purpose:
1. Strictly Necessary Cookies
These are essential for the core functions of our website. Without them, the site would not operate correctly. For example, strictly necessary cookies allow you to move between pages smoothly and ensure affiliate tracking links function properly.
2. Performance Cookies
Performance cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website. They collect anonymous data about traffic, such as which pages are most popular, how long visitors stay, and any errors encountered. This information allows us to improve site speed, fix usability issues, and create better content.
3. Functional Cookies
Functional cookies remember your preferences and choices. For instance, if you’ve previously accepted or declined non-essential cookies, a functional cookie will remember that decision so you don’t see the same banner again.
4. Targeting and Advertising Cookies
These cookies are used to deliver relevant advertising to you. On our site, they mainly come from third-party networks that help us promote health-related products. They track your browsing behavior so the ads you see are better matched to your interests.
Why We Use Cookies
We use cookies for a variety of reasons. Some are purely functional, while others provide valuable insights that help us improve. Here’s how cookies benefit both you and us:
- To improve functionality: Cookies ensure pages load properly and that the site works as intended.
- To personalize content: We may use cookies to display recommendations or highlight relevant articles.
- To measure performance: Analytics cookies allow us to understand how readers engage with our reviews, which helps us create better content.
- To support affiliate partnerships: Since we work with ClickBank, cookies help track referrals when readers purchase through our links, ensuring we receive credit without increasing your cost.
- To keep services free: Affiliate revenue generated through cookie tracking allows us to continue providing fact-checked, reliable reviews without charging readers.
Third-Party Cookies
In addition to cookies we set directly, third-party cookies may also be placed on your device. These come from services we use to operate the site effectively. Examples include:
- Google Analytics: Helps us track website traffic and user behavior to improve performance.
- Affiliate Tracking (ClickBank): Confirms when a purchase is made through one of our links so we can earn a commission.
- Advertising Networks: These may place cookies to deliver more relevant ads or measure ad performance.
We do not control third-party cookies, but we encourage you to review their individual cookie policies.
How You Can Control Cookies
You are always in control of how cookies are used. Here are the ways you can manage or block cookies:
- Browser Settings: Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies through their settings. You can choose to accept all cookies, reject all cookies, or receive a notification each time a cookie is set.
- Privacy Extensions: Tools and extensions are available that block tracking cookies across websites.
- Opt-Out Links: Some services, like Google Analytics, offer specific opt-out options if you don’t want your browsing data collected.
- Consent Banner: When you first visit our site, you will see a banner asking whether you accept cookies. You can update or withdraw your consent at any time.
Keep in mind that disabling cookies may affect your browsing experience. Some parts of the site may not function correctly if cookies are blocked.
Data Protection and Privacy
While cookies may collect certain information about your browsing behavior, we treat that information with care. We do not use cookies to store sensitive personal data such as health records, financial information, or passwords.
Any data collected through cookies is processed in line with our Privacy Policy, and we never sell your personal information.
Updates to This Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the law, technology, or our practices. Whenever we update it, we will post the changes on this page and update the Effective Date at the top. We encourage you to check back regularly to stay informed.
