1. What Are Cookies?

A cookie is a small text file that a website stores on your computer or mobile device when you visit. It enables the website to remember your actions and preferences over a period of time, so you don’t have to keep re-entering them whenever you come back to the site. They are essential for providing a smooth, personalized browsing experience.

2. How We Use Cookies

At FindCheapBroadband.com, we use cookies for several key purposes, all designed to provide you with a better service while respecting your privacy:

  • Essential Cookies: These are necessary for the website to function correctly and cannot be switched off. They handle basic functions like page navigation and access to secure areas.
  • Performance and Analytics Cookies: These cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our site. We use services like Google Analytics 4 (GA4) for this. We have configured GA4 to anonymize IP addresses and respect user privacy signals. All information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous. It helps us understand which content is valuable to our readers.
  • Affiliate Cookies: As a reader-supported site, we use affiliate links. When you click on a link to an ISP and make a purchase, a cookie is used to track the referral. This is how we earn a commission that funds our independent research, at no extra cost to you. These cookies do not store personally identifiable information.
