What cookies are, which ones SkillGuidely uses, and how you can control them at any time.
1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your device when you visit. They help the site remember your settings, understand how it is used, and show relevant ads. Similar technologies, such as pixels, local storage, and device identifiers, work in much the same way, and we use the word “cookies” for all of them in this policy.
2. How we use cookies
SkillGuidely uses cookies to keep the website secure and working, to remember your cookie choices, to measure traffic so we can improve our calculators and guides, and to show ads that help keep our tools free. This policy works together with our Privacy Policy.
