Cookies Policy

You've probably seen cookie banners on every website you visit. Here's what's actually happening on Renter Fix—explained simply.

What Cookies Are

Cookies are small data files that websites store on your device. They serve various purposes: remembering that you've dismissed a notification, tracking which pages you've visited, or helping advertisers show relevant ads. Some cookies are genuinely useful; others are more about business interests.

Cookies on Renter Fix

Our Cookie

We use one cookie ourselves:

• cookies_ack_v1 — Remembers that you've acknowledged the cookie notice so you don't see it repeatedly. Stored in your browser's localStorage. Contains no personal data.

Advertising Cookies

When advertisements are displayed on our site, they come through Google AdSense. Google and its advertising partners may set their own cookies to:

• Determine which ads to show you based on your interests and browsing history
• Limit how many times you see the same ad
• Measure whether ads are effective
• Detect fraudulent clicks

These advertising cookies are controlled by Google, not by us. They may track your activity across multiple websites.

Cloudflare Cookies

Our site is hosted through Cloudflare, which may set cookies for security purposes—for example, to distinguish humans from bots or to protect against attacks.

Managing Your Cookie Preferences

You have several options:

Browser Settings

Every modern browser lets you block or delete cookies. Look for "Privacy" or "Cookies" in your browser settings. Be aware that blocking all cookies may break functionality on many websites.

Ad Personalization

If you want to keep seeing ads but prefer they're not personalized based on your browsing history, Google offers controls:

• Google Ad Settings — Adjust what Google knows about your interests
• Digital Advertising Alliance Opt-Out — Opt out of personalized ads from many companies at once

Private Browsing

Using your browser's private or incognito mode prevents cookies from persisting after you close the window.

A Note on Necessity

We'd love to run Renter Fix without any third-party cookies, but advertising helps keep the site free and maintained. We've chosen not to implement invasive tracking ourselves—the only cookies directly from us are functional ones.
