1. Introduction
This Cookie Policy explains how Sets Quick (“we,” “us,” “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies on setsquick.com and guide.setsquick.com (the “Site”). This policy sits alongside our Privacy Policy and should be read together with it.
By continuing to use the Site after accepting the cookie banner, you consent to the use of cookies as described here. You can withdraw consent at any time through the banner or your browser settings.
2. What Cookies Are
Cookies are small text files stored in your browser when you visit a website. They are used to:
- keep the Site working (session, security, load-balancing),
- measure how visitors use the Site,
- deliver display advertising through Ezoic,
- remember your preferences (for example, your cookie choices).
We also use similar technologies such as local storage, pixels, and beacons. Where this policy says “cookies,” it covers all of those.
3. Categories of Cookies We Use
We group cookies into four categories.
A. Strictly Necessary
These are required for the Site to work. They cannot be turned off through the banner.
| Cookie | Set by | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| wordpress_logged_in_* | WordPress | Keeps site admin logged in (not used by public visitors) | Session |
| wp-settings-* | WordPress | Stores admin display preferences | 1 year |
| wfwaf-authcookie-* | Wordfence | Firewall authentication for admin | Session |
| __cf_bm | Cloudflare | Bot management | 30 minutes |
| cf_clearance | Cloudflare | Confirms human visitor after challenge | 1 year |
| cookieconsent_status | Cookie Notice | Remembers your consent choice | 12 months |
B. Performance and Analytics
Help us understand which articles are read most, where visitors come from, and where the Site is slow.
| Cookie | Set by | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| _ga | Google Analytics 4 | Distinguishes unique users | 2 years |
| ga* | Google Analytics 4 | Persists session state | 2 years |
| _gid | Google Analytics 4 | Distinguishes users (legacy) | 24 hours |
| litespeed_hash | LiteSpeed Cache | Cache-key optimization | Session |
Analytics data is aggregated and does not identify you personally.
C. Advertising
Ezoic is our only display ad network. Ezoic and its partners use cookies to serve ads, measure ad performance, and prevent the same ad from being shown too often.
| Cookie | Set by | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| ezoic_* | Ezoic | Session tracking for ad delivery | Session to 30 days |
| ezoab_* | Ezoic | A/B testing of ad layouts | 30 days |
| ezosuibasgeneris-* | Ezoic | Unique identifier for cross-page ads | 12 months |
| ezovuuid_* | Ezoic | Visitor unique identifier | 12 months |
| Various partner cookies | Ezoic ad partners | Interest-based advertising | Varies |
For the full Ezoic cookie list see: https://www.ezoic.com/privacy-policy/
D. Functional
Remember helpful preferences.
| Cookie | Set by | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| ml_visitor_* | MailerLite | Tracks email-form conversions | 30 days |
| ml_form_shown | MailerLite | Prevents showing the same opt-in twice in one session | Session |
| pdf_downloaded | Sets Quick | Remembers that you already downloaded the 30-Day Home Reset | 12 months |
4. Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies are placed by third-party services we use, not directly by Sets Quick. These include:
- Google Analytics 4 / Site Kit — analytics
- Ezoic and its advertising partners — display advertising
- Cloudflare — security and CDN
- MailerLite — email form conversions
- Wordfence — security
- Amazon, The Container Store, Wayfair, Walmart, Home Depot, Etsy — only when you click an affiliate link and land on their site (their cookies, not ours)
We do not use Facebook Pixel, TikTok Pixel, Google AdSense, or Google Ads remarketing at this time.
5. How We Ask for Consent
On your first visit we show a cookie consent banner. You can:
- Accept all — turn on all four categories,
- Reject non-essential — keep only Strictly Necessary cookies,
- Preferences — choose per category.
Strictly Necessary cookies are always on because the Site cannot function without them. Your choice is stored in the cookieconsent_status cookie for 12 months. You can change your mind at any time by clicking “Cookie Settings” in the site footer.
EU, UK, and EEA visitors see a compliant banner under the GDPR and the ePrivacy Directive. California visitors are treated as opting out of “sharing” for cross-context behavioral advertising unless they accept.
6. How to Control Cookies
You have three ways to control cookies on Sets Quick.
1. Cookie banner and footer link. Use the banner on your first visit or the “Cookie Settings” link in the footer to change categories at any time.
2. Ezoic opt-out. To opt out of Ezoic personalized advertising specifically: https://www.ezoic.com/privacy-policy/#optout
3. Browser settings. Every modern browser lets you block or delete cookies:
- Chrome: https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/95647
- Firefox: https://support.mozilla.org/kb/cookies-information-websites-store-on-your-computer
- Safari: https://support.apple.com/guide/safari/manage-cookies-sfri11471/mac
- Edge: https://support.microsoft.com/help/17442/windows-internet-explorer-delete-manage-cookies
Blocking Strictly Necessary cookies may break parts of the Site. Blocking Advertising cookies may reduce our ad revenue but will not stop you from reading anything.
7. Do Not Track
We respect “Do Not Track” signals where technically feasible. However, there is no universal industry standard for how Do Not Track should behave, so we cannot guarantee every third-party cookie honors it. Use the controls in Section 6 for stronger control.
8. Retention
Each cookie listed above has its own duration. Session cookies are deleted when you close your browser. Persistent cookies are deleted after their duration or when you clear your browser data. Analytics data associated with cookies (Google Analytics 4) is retained for 14 months by default, then deleted.
9. Children
The Site is not intended for children under 16. We do not knowingly place cookies on the devices of children under 16.
10. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy when we add or remove services. The Last Updated date at the top reflects the most recent revision. Material changes will trigger a re-prompt of the cookie banner.
