Cookie Policy

Last Updated: January 2026

This Cookie Policy explains how The Daily Balance uses cookies and similar technologies on our website.

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently and to provide information to website owners.

Our Cookie Usage

The Daily Balance uses only essential cookies necessary for basic website functionality. We do not use tracking cookies, advertising cookies, or analytics cookies by default.

Essential Cookies

We use essential cookies to:

  • Remember your cookie consent preference
  • Maintain basic website functionality
  • Ensure website security

These cookies are necessary for the website to function and cannot be disabled in our systems. They are usually set only in response to actions you take, such as setting your privacy preferences.

Cookies We Do NOT Use

Unlike many websites, we do not use:

  • Analytics Cookies: We do not track visitor behavior or collect statistics about how you use our website
  • Advertising Cookies: We do not use cookies for advertising or remarketing purposes
  • Social Media Cookies: We do not use social media tracking cookies
  • Third-Party Tracking: We do not allow third-party advertisers or analytics services to place cookies on our website

Third-Party Services

This website uses Content Delivery Networks (CDN) to load Bootstrap CSS and jQuery. These services may use cookies or collect technical information for their own operational purposes. We recommend reviewing their privacy policies:

  • Bootstrap CDN (StackPath)
  • jQuery CDN

Google Consent Mode v2

Our website is configured to comply with Google Consent Mode v2 requirements. This framework ensures that any future implementation of Google services will respect user consent preferences regarding cookies and data collection.

Currently, we do not use Google Analytics, Google Ads, or other Google services that would trigger consent requirements. If we implement such services in the future, they will only be activated with your explicit consent.

Managing Cookies

You can control and manage cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to:

  • View what cookies are stored and delete them individually
  • Block third-party cookies
  • Block cookies from specific websites
  • Block all cookies
  • Delete all cookies when you close your browser

Browser-Specific Instructions

To manage cookies in popular browsers:

  • Google Chrome: Settings > Privacy and security > Cookies and other site data
  • Mozilla Firefox: Options > Privacy & Security > Cookies and Site Data
  • Safari: Preferences > Privacy > Manage Website Data
  • Microsoft Edge: Settings > Cookies and site permissions > Cookies and site data

Impact of Blocking Cookies

If you disable essential cookies, some features of this website may not function properly. Specifically, you may see the cookie consent banner repeatedly, as we will not be able to remember your preference.

Since we do not use non-essential cookies, blocking cookies will not impact your ability to access and read the educational content on this website.

Local Storage

In addition to cookies, we use local storage in your browser to remember your cookie consent preference. Local storage functions similarly to cookies but is not transmitted to our servers. You can clear local storage through your browser's developer tools or by clearing your browsing data.

Changes to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology or legal requirements. Any updates will be posted on this page with a revised date.

If we introduce new types of cookies in the future, we will update this policy and seek your consent where required by law.

Your Consent

By clicking "I Understand" on our cookie banner, you consent to the use of essential cookies as described in this policy. You can withdraw your consent at any time by clearing your browser cookies and local storage.
