Cookie Policy

Last updated: June 21, 2026

Introduction

This Cookie Policy explains how Thought Canopy ("we", "us", or "our") uses cookies and similar technologies on thoughtcanopy.com (the "Site"). It should be read together with our Privacy Policy.

By using the Site you can manage your cookie preferences through the cookie banner shown on your first visit. Essential cookies are always active because the Site cannot function without them; all other categories load only after you consent.

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. Similar technologies — such as pixels, tags, software development kits (SDKs), and local storage — perform comparable functions. Together they let a site recognise your device, remember your preferences, measure usage, and deliver and measure advertising.

Cookies may be first-party (set by us) or third-party (set by our service providers and advertisers). They may be session cookies (deleted when you close your browser) or persistent cookies (kept until they expire or you delete them).

How We Manage Cookies

We use Google Tag Manager (GTM) to load and control tags on the Site. GTM itself does not store personal data in cookies; it manages the loading of the tools listed below in line with your consent choices.

Strictly Necessary Cookies

These are required for the Site to work and to remember your privacy choices. They cannot be switched off. They include the cookie or local-storage entry that records your cookie-consent decision and the anonymous identifier ("anonId") used for post reactions.

Analytics Cookies

These help us understand how visitors use the Site so we can improve it. They load only with your consent.

  • Google Analytics 4 — aggregate traffic and usage measurement.
  • Microsoft Clarity — usage analytics, heatmaps, and session insights.

Advertising Cookies

These are used to deliver advertising, measure its performance, and — where you consent — personalise the ads you see. They load only with your consent.

  • Google AdSense — programmatic display advertising.
  • Taboola — native content and advertising recommendations.
  • Meta Pixel — advertising measurement and audiences for Meta platforms.
  • Google Ads conversion tracking — measuring the effectiveness of our campaigns.

Affiliate Cookies

When you click an affiliate link in a post, the merchant or affiliate network may set a cookie to attribute any resulting purchase. See our Disclaimer for details.

Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies are set by the third parties named above. We do not control these cookies. Please review each provider's policy for details on how they process your data:

When you first visit the Site, our cookie banner lets you accept or decline non-essential (analytics and advertising) cookies. Your choice is stored on your device so we can honour it on future visits.

  • If you accept, advertising may be personalised.
  • If you decline, we instruct Google AdSense to serve non-personalised ads, and analytics/advertising tags that require consent are not loaded.

You can change your decision at any time by clearing the consent record (for example, by clearing your browser's site data for thoughtcanopy.com) and reloading the Site to bring back the banner.

Managing Cookies in Your Browser

Most browsers let you block or delete cookies through their settings. You can also use these industry opt-out tools:

Blocking some cookies may affect how the Site works for you.

Do Not Track

Some browsers send a "Do Not Track" signal. There is no common industry standard for responding to these signals, so we honour cookie choices through our consent banner rather than DNT headers. We honour recognised opt-out preference signals (such as Global Privacy Control) where required by applicable law.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy as our tools or legal obligations change. The "Last Updated" date below reflects the latest version. Please review it periodically.
