When you visit Health Beacon Daily, certain small files called cookies are placed on your device. This page explains what cookies are, which ones we use, why we use them, and how you can manage or turn them off.
We want to be straightforward with you about this, not bury it in legal language you’d have to decode with a dictionary. So here’s the plain version.
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are tiny text files that websites store on your browser or device when you visit them. They serve a range of purposes — from keeping the site functional, to helping us understand how people use the site, to allowing advertising systems to show relevant ads.
Cookies don’t give anyone access to your computer or any personal information beyond what you choose to share. They’re standard across virtually every website you visit.
What Cookies Does Health Beacon Daily Use?
We use three main categories of cookies on this site:
1. Essential / Functional Cookies
These are cookies that the website needs to work properly. Without them, basic things like page navigation and access to certain features won’t function correctly. These cookies don’t collect any information about you for marketing or analytics purposes.
Examples on this site include:
- WordPress session cookies that keep the site running smoothly
- Security cookies that help protect the site from malicious traffic
These cookies are strictly necessary. You cannot opt out of them and continue to use the site, as they are fundamental to how the site operates.
2. Analytics Cookies
We may use analytics tools — including Google Analytics — to understand how visitors interact with Health Beacon Daily. This helps us see which articles are most helpful, how long people spend reading, and where they navigate after arriving.
The information collected is aggregated and anonymous. We do not use it to personally identify you. It simply helps us make better decisions about the content we publish.
You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking at any time by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
3. Advertising Cookies
Health Beacon Daily displays advertisements served by Google and Google’s advertising partners. To show you ads that are relevant to your interests, Google may place advertising cookies on your device when you visit this site.
These cookies allow Google to recognize your browser and track your activity across websites that use Google advertising services. This helps ensure the ads you see are more relevant to you — rather than completely random.
For more information about how Google uses data from sites that use their services, please visit: google.com/policies/privacy/partners
To opt out of personalized advertising from Google, visit: Google Ad Settings.
Third-Party Cookies
In addition to our own cookies, third parties — including Google — may set their own cookies on your device when you visit Health Beacon Daily. We do not control these cookies, and their use is governed by the privacy and cookie policies of those third parties, not ours.
We encourage you to review Google’s privacy policy if you’d like to understand how they handle cookie data: policies.google.com/privacy
How Long Do Cookies Last?
Cookies vary in how long they stay on your device:
- Session cookies are temporary and expire when you close your browser.
- Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period of time — anywhere from a few days to a couple of years — depending on the cookie’s purpose.
How Can You Control or Remove Cookies?
You have several options for managing cookies:
Browser settings: Most browsers allow you to view, block, or delete cookies through their settings menu. The steps vary by browser, but you can usually find these options under Settings → Privacy or Settings → Security. Keep in mind that blocking all cookies may affect how this and other websites work for you.

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in how we use cookies, or in response to updates in privacy laws and regulations. When we do, we’ll update the “Last Updated” date at the top of this page. We encourage you to check back periodically.
