Cookie Policy

Last updated: 17 May 2026

This Cookie Policy explains how Internet Marketing Secrets, operating thesprint.uk ("the Site"), uses cookies and similar technologies. It supplements our Privacy Policy and complies with the UK Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR) and the UK GDPR.

1. What is a cookie?

A cookie is a small text file stored on your device when you visit a website. Cookies allow a site to remember actions or preferences over time and to gather usage information.

2. Cookies we use

Strictly necessary

None. The Site is a static site and does not require functional cookies to operate.

Analytics (with consent / legitimate interests)

_ga, _ga_* — Google Analytics 4. Used to distinguish users and sessions so we can measure traffic and improve content. IP addresses are anonymised. Expires after up to 2 years.
_gid — Google Analytics. Used to distinguish users. Expires after 24 hours.
Google Tag Manager (does not itself set persistent cookies, but loads the Google Analytics tags above).

Marketing / advertising

The Site itself does not set advertising cookies. However, when you click an outbound affiliate link to OLSP, the destination domain may set its own cookies for affiliate tracking purposes. Those cookies are governed by OLSP's own privacy and cookie policies.

3. Your choices

You can control cookies in several ways:

Browser settings — most browsers let you block or delete cookies. Useful guides: Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge.
Opt out of Google Analytics — install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
Do Not Track — we respect browser Do Not Track signals where technically feasible.

4. Consequences of disabling cookies

Disabling analytics cookies will not affect your ability to use the Site. We will simply have less data to improve the experience.

5. Changes to this policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use or for operational, legal or regulatory reasons. The "Last updated" date at the top reflects the most recent change.
