Cookie Policy
This page explains what cookies are, which ones Health Beyond Age uses, and how you can control them. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They help the site remember information about your visit, like your preferences or whether you've seen a particular notice, and can help site owners understand how the site is used. Some cookies are set by us directly ("first-party"); others are set by services we use, like analytics or advertising providers ("third-party").
Categories of Cookies We Use
| Category | Purpose | Can you opt out? |
|---|---|---|
| Strictly necessary | Required for the Site to function — e.g. security, load balancing, remembering your cookie consent choice | No — these are essential and don't require consent under most laws |
| Performance & analytics | Google Analytics — understand aggregate traffic, popular articles, and site performance | Yes, via the consent banner or the Google Analytics opt-out add-on |
| Functional | Remember display preferences, e.g. font size settings on legal pages | Yes, via browser settings |
| Advertising | Google AdSense and similar ad networks, once advertising is enabled — used to show relevant ads and measure ad performance | Yes, via the consent banner, Google Ads Settings, or aboutads.info |
How to Control Cookies
You can control cookies in several ways:
- Our consent banner — where enabled, lets you accept or decline non-essential cookie categories when you first visit
- Browser settings — every major browser lets you block or delete cookies; check your browser's help section for instructions, since the steps differ by browser and device
- Google Analytics opt-out — install the official browser add-on to stop Analytics data collection across all sites
- Ad personalization — adjust settings at Google Ads Settings or aboutads.info
Blocking strictly-necessary cookies may affect how parts of the Site function.
How Long Cookies Last
Some cookies are "session" cookies and are deleted automatically when you close your browser. Others are "persistent" cookies that remain until they expire or you delete them — typically ranging from 30 days (functional preferences) to up to 2 years (analytics and advertising cookies, consistent with Google's standard retention periods).
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy as we add or change the tools and services we use. Check the "Last updated" date above for the most recent revision.
