What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help the site remember your preferences and understand how you use it.
How TrueFathom Uses Cookies
We use cookies in three categories. No advertising or third-party tracking cookies are used.
Essential Cookies (Always Active)
These are required for the platform to function. They cannot be disabled.

| tf-cookie-consent | Remembers your cookie preference | 1 year |
| tf-sidebar-collapsed | Sidebar UI state | Persistent |
Analytics Cookies (Optional)
These help us understand how people use the platform so we can improve it. They are only set if you click "Accept All" on the cookie banner.
| Provider | Purpose | Data Stored |
|---|---|---|

Advertising Cookies
None. TrueFathom does not use any advertising, remarketing, or third-party tracking cookies.
Managing Your Preferences
When you first visit TrueFathom, a cookie banner lets you choose between "Accept All" (essential + analytics) and "Essential Only". You can change your preference at any time by clearing your browser cookies for truefathom.com — the banner will reappear on your next visit.
You can also control cookies through your browser settings. Note that disabling essential cookies may prevent you from using the platform.
