🍪 ConvertNow Cookie Policy
Which cookies this site uses, what each one does, and how to control or delete them.
1. What are cookies
Cookies are small text files a website stores in your browser to remember information between visits or requests, for example, that you’ve already loaded a cached version of a page, or an anonymized ID used to group your visits together in analytics. This page lists every category of cookie ConvertNow.tools uses, why, and how to control them. This policy works alongside our Privacy Policy, which covers data handling more broadly.
2. Categories of cookies we use
- Necessary Required for the site to function correctly, such as serving the right cached version of a page.
- Analytics Help us understand how visitors use the site in aggregate, via Google Analytics and Jetpack, so we know which tools to improve or build next.
- Advertising Used by Google AdSense and its partners to serve and measure ads, and in some cases to personalize them based on browsing history.
- Social Set by a social network’s own site if you click one of our share buttons (Sassy Social Share), not by us directly.
3. Full cookie list
Names and lifespans below reflect our plugins and Google’s services at time of publishing; providers occasionally rename or adjust cookies with product updates, so treat exact durations as approximate rather than fixed.
| Cookie | Set by | Category | Purpose | Typical duration |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| _ga | Google Analytics | Analytics | Distinguishes unique visitors | ~2 years |
| _ga_* | Google Analytics | Analytics | Persists session state for GA4 property | ~2 years |
| _gid | Google Analytics | Analytics | Distinguishes visitors within a 24-hour window | ~24 hours |

| jetpack_site_uid | Jetpack (Automattic) | Necessary | Identifies this site to the Jetpack service | ~1 year |
| litespeed_* / cache-related | LiteSpeed Cache | Necessary | Serves the correct cached or non-cached version of a page | Session |

4. Third-party cookies
Cookies set by Google (Analytics and AdSense), Automattic (Jetpack), and any social network you actively share to are controlled by those companies, not by us. We don’t have access to the data those cookies store beyond the aggregate reports each service provides us.
5. Managing and deleting cookies
You can view, block, or delete cookies at any time through your browser settings:
Blocking or deleting cookies won’t stop tools from working, since tool logic runs locally in your browser rather than through cookies; you may just be counted as a new visitor in analytics on your next visit.
6. Opting out of analytics and advertising cookies
Analytics: install Google’s Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on to stop Analytics from using your data on any site, including this one.
Advertising: manage or turn off personalized ads at Google Ads Settings, or opt out of participating vendors generally at aboutads.info (US) or youronlinechoices.eu (EU).
7. Changes to this policy
We’ll update this page whenever we add or remove a plugin or service that changes the cookies in use. The “last updated” date at the top always reflects the latest version.
