COOKIE POLICY
Last updated April 25, 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how preppainttools.com (“Company,” “we,” “us,” and “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies to recognize you when you visit our website at https://preppainttools.com (“Website”). It explains what these technologies are and why we use them, as well as your rights to control our use of them.
In some cases we may use cookies to collect personal information, or that becomes personal information if we combine it with other information.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small data files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used by website owners in order to make their websites work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information.
Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, preppainttools.com) are called “first-party cookies.” Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called “third-party cookies.” Third-party cookies enable third-party features or functionality to be provided on or through the website (e.g., advertising, interactive content, and analytics). The parties that set these third-party cookies can recognize your computer both when it visits the website in question and also when it visits certain other websites.
Why do we use cookies?
We use first-party and third-party cookies for several reasons. Some cookies are required for technical reasons in order for our Website to operate, and we refer to these as “essential” or “strictly necessary” cookies. Other cookies enable us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience on our Website. Third parties also serve cookies through our Website for analytics and affiliate attribution purposes. This is described in more detail below.
What types of cookies do we use?
Essential cookies
These cookies are strictly necessary to provide you with services available through our Website and to use some of its features. These are typically set by WordPress and our hosting provider and cannot be disabled without affecting site functionality.
Analytics cookies
We use Google Analytics 4 (GA4) to understand how visitors use our Website. GA4 sets cookies (typically named _ga and _ga_[ID]) that collect information such as pages visited, time spent on site, referring URL, approximate geographic location, device type, and browser. This information helps us understand site usage and improve our content. You can opt out of Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
Affiliate tracking cookies
When you click an affiliate link on our Website, the merchant may place a cookie on your device to attribute your purchase to our referral. This allows us to earn a commission on qualifying purchases at no additional cost to you. We participate in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, and Amazon may set affiliate tracking cookies when you click an Amazon link from our site. Amazon’s data practices are described in their privacy notice at amazon.com/privacy.
How can I control cookies?
You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies. If you are visiting from the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or another jurisdiction with similar cookie consent requirements, you will be presented with a cookie consent banner allowing you to accept or reject non-essential cookies before they are deployed. Essential cookies cannot be rejected as they are strictly necessary to provide you with services.
You can also set or amend your web browser controls to accept or refuse cookies. The means by which you can refuse cookies through your web browser controls vary from browser to browser. Information about how to manage cookies on the most popular browsers is available below:
If you choose to reject non-essential cookies, you may still use our Website, though some functionality may be limited.
In addition, most advertising networks offer you a way to opt out of targeted advertising. If you would like to find out more, please visit:

What about other tracking technologies, like web beacons?
Cookies are not the only way to recognize or track visitors to a website. We may use other, similar technologies from time to time, like web beacons (sometimes called “tracking pixels” or “clear gifs”). These are tiny graphics files that contain a unique identifier that enables us to recognize when someone has visited our Website. This allows us, for example, to monitor traffic patterns, to understand whether you have come to the Website from an online advertisement, and to measure the success of marketing campaigns. In many instances, these technologies are reliant on cookies to function properly, and so declining cookies will impair their functioning.
How often will you update this Cookie Policy?
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time in order to reflect, for example, changes to the cookies we use or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. Please revisit this Cookie Policy regularly to stay informed about our use of cookies and related technologies.
The date at the top of this Cookie Policy indicates when it was last updated.
