Essential cookies
These make the site work. They cannot be switched off through our banner because disabling them would break basic functionality.
- Recording your cookie consent choice, so you are not asked on every single page.
- Security and abuse prevention, including basic rate limiting.
- Load balancing and session continuity while you browse.
- Remembering interface preferences such as your chosen filters.
Analytics cookies
These help us understand how the site is used so we can improve it. They are optional and only set if you accept them.
We look at aggregated patterns — which guides get read, which pages people leave immediately, roughly which countries visitors come from. We are not interested in tracking individuals.
- Counting page views and unique visits.
- Measuring how far readers get through a long guide.
- Identifying broken or unhelpful pages by spotting unusual exit rates.
- Understanding which referral sources bring readers here.
Affiliate and referral cookies
When you follow a commercial link, the publisher or affiliate network sets a cookie so any resulting signup or purchase can be credited to us. This attribution is how the site is funded.
These cookies are set by the destination, not by us, and their duration is decided by that partner — commonly anywhere from a single session to several weeks.
Respawn Daily may earn a commission when users sign up or make a purchase through selected links. This does not affect the price paid by the user.
Advertising cookies
If display advertising is served on a page, the ad provider may set cookies to limit how often you see the same ad and to measure performance.
Rejecting this category does not remove advertising. It means the ads you see are less targeted.
Third-party cookies
Some cookies come from services we embed rather than from us directly. Typical examples are analytics providers, affiliate networks, embedded video players and social media widgets.
Each of those providers has its own privacy and cookie policy, and we have no control over how they operate. If you are concerned about a specific provider, review their policy directly.
How to manage cookies
You have two independent layers of control: our consent banner, and your browser.
- Use our banner to accept or reject non-essential categories. You can reopen it later to change your mind.
- Every major browser lets you block or delete cookies, either entirely or per site, in its privacy settings.
- Private or incognito windows discard cookies when the window closes.
- Browser extensions can block trackers more aggressively, though they occasionally break site features.
What happens if you reject them
All content on this site remains fully accessible if you reject every optional category. Nothing is paywalled behind consent.
The practical effects are minor: some preferences may not persist between visits, our usage statistics become less accurate, and referrals may not be attributed to us — which reduces the revenue that funds the site, but does not affect you.
Updates to this policy
As we add or remove services, the cookies in use change. This page is revised accordingly and the date at the top reflects the latest version.
