Cookie Policy
This Cookie Policy explains how FreeInvoiceTemplates.org uses cookies and similar browser-storage technologies on this Website. It sits alongside our Privacy Policy and gives more detail about the categories of cookies in use, who sets them, and how you can control them.
What are cookies?
A cookie is a small text file that a website can store in your browser. When you return to the site, the browser sends the cookie back so the site can recognise the session, remember your preferences, or measure how pages are used. Similar technologies — such as web beacons, pixels, and local-storage entries — do comparable things; for simplicity this page refers to all of them as "cookies."
Cookies can be grouped by who sets them: first-party cookies are set by the site you are visiting, and third-party cookies are set by another domain, such as an analytics provider or an ad network, whose code runs on the page. They can also be grouped by how long they last: session cookies disappear when you close the browser, and persistent cookies stay until they expire or you delete them.
Categories of cookies we use
Strictly necessary
These cookies are required for the Website to work. They do things like remember that you've dismissed a notice, keep a menu open between clicks, or help the browser load pages more efficiently. They do not track you across other websites. Without these cookies, parts of the Website may not function correctly.
Analytics
We use Google Analytics to understand, in aggregate, which pages are useful, how visitors reach the site, and where things are confusing. Google Analytics may set cookies with names beginning with _ga and _gid and collect IP address, device details, and page-view information on our behalf. The data is used for measurement and reporting, not to identify you as an individual.
You can opt out of Google Analytics across every site that uses it by installing the official opt-out browser add-on at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
Advertising (including Google AdSense)
The Website displays advertising served through Google AdSense and related Google advertising networks. Google and its ad partners may set cookies to serve ads, measure their performance, and — where permitted — personalise the ads you see based on your previous visits to this Website and to other websites in the Google ad network.
- Google, as a third-party vendor, uses cookies to serve ads on this Website.
- Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to users based on their visits to this and other sites on the internet.
- Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to this or other websites in line with their own policies.
How to control and opt out of cookies
Through your browser
Every modern browser lets you view, delete, and block cookies through its settings or preferences. You can usually choose to block only third-party cookies, which blocks most advertising and cross-site tracking cookies while still allowing the Website's own necessary cookies to work. The exact steps are different in each browser; searching "[your browser name] cookie settings" will find the current instructions.
For advertising cookies specifically
- Personalised Google ads can be turned off on any device signed into your Google account at Google Ad Settings.
- Many participating ad networks can be opted out of at the same time via the Digital Advertising Alliance's aboutads.info (United States) or the European Interactive Digital Advertising Alliance's youronlinechoices.com (Europe).
- If your browser offers a "Do Not Track" signal or Global Privacy Control, we treat those signals in a manner consistent with applicable law.
Blocking advertising cookies will not remove ads from the Website, but the ads you see will generally be less relevant to you.
For analytics cookies specifically
You can install Google's opt-out add-on (linked above) to stop Google Analytics from running on any site in any browser you install it in.
Changes to this Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy when the cookies we use change or when the Website adds a new service that sets cookies. When we make a material change, we'll update the "Last reviewed" date at the top of this page.
