Cookie Policy

Cookies are small files a website sets in your browser. We use them for a small number of specific functions: keeping you signed in, remembering your billing session at checkout, measuring whether the site is working, and measuring whether our own advertising works. We do not sell your browsing data.

These are required to deliver the core features and services you request. Because they are essential for site operations, they cannot be disabled while using Cold Approach.

• Auth session cookies. Keep you signed in across pages. Set by our authentication provider. Cleared when you sign out or after the session expires.
• Checkout cookies. Held by our payment providers during a checkout flow so the payment session survives page reloads. The applicable provider sets and removes these.
• CSRF and security tokens. Prevent cross-site request forgery against forms and API endpoints.

We may store small amounts of data in localStorage or cookies for things like the last category filter you used on the articles or whether you’ve dismissed a banner. None of this is shared with anyone. It lives in your browser and you can clear it any time from your browser’s settings.

We use a product analytics service to understand page views, which articles get read, and which features get used. It stores a random identifier in a first-party cookie and in your browser’s localStorage. You can clear either any time from your browser’s site-data settings.

When we run ads for our own coaching programs, we use browser and server conversion measurement to tell whether those ads lead to visits, applications, and bookings. The browser tool may set first-party advertising cookies.

For server measurement, we send hashed contact identifiers, and available IP address, browser user agent, and advertising click or browser cookie values for attribution and matching. This is conversion measurement for our own campaigns, not a data resale program.

A small number of service providers may set their own cookies when their functionality is in play:

• Our payment providers, during a checkout, so the payment session works reliably.
• Our video delivery provider, for course video playback (playback-session cookies).
• Our scheduling provider, for the embedded application-call booking calendar when you apply for coaching.

Every modern browser lets you block cookies, clear them, or restrict third-party cookies from the sites you visit. If you block strictly-necessary cookies, signing in and checkout will stop working. Advertising-measurement cookies can be blocked or cleared without affecting core site functions, although server-side conversion reporting may still occur after an eligible action.

We may update this page when our use of cookies changes. The “last updated” date at the top shows when.
