COOKIE POLICY

Effective Date: February 14, 2026

This Cookie Policy explains how fonts-for-free.com (“we”, “us”, or “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies on our website. This Policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy.

1) WHAT ARE COOKIES?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device (computer, phone, tablet) when you visit a website. Cookies help websites function properly, remember preferences, and understand how visitors use the site.

We may also use similar technologies such as pixels, tags, and local storage. In this Policy, we refer to all of these as “cookies” unless stated otherwise.

2) WHY WE USE COOKIES
We use cookies for:
– Essential website functionality and security
– Analytics and performance measurement (e.g., Google Analytics 4), if you consent
– Remembering cookie consent choices (via our consent banner)
– (Future) Advertising and measurement, if we enable Google AdSense and you consent where required

3) TYPES OF COOKIES WE USE
A) Strictly Necessary / Essential Cookies
These cookies are required for the website to work and help protect our site and visitors. They are generally used for core functionality and security and cannot be switched off through our cookie banner.

Examples of use:
– Security protection (e.g., to help detect malicious traffic)
– Load balancing / performance features
– Basic site functionality

B) Analytics / Measurement Cookies (Optional)
We use analytics cookies to understand how visitors use our website (pages visited, time spent, device/browser information, and similar usage data). This helps us improve site performance and user experience.

We currently use:
– Google Analytics 4 (GA4)

These cookies will be used only if you choose “Accept” on our cookie banner (where applicable).

C) Preference / Consent Cookies
Our cookie banner may store your consent choice (Accept/Decline) so we can remember it for your next visit.

D) Advertising Cookies (Future – Google AdSense)
At this time, we do not display AdSense ads because our AdSense account is not approved yet.
If we enable Google AdSense in the future, third-party vendors (including Google) may use cookies to:
– Serve ads based on a user’s prior visits to this and/or other websites
– Measure ad performance and limit how often you see the same ads

Where required by law, advertising cookies will be used only if you consent.

4) THIRD-PARTY COOKIES AND SERVICES
Some cookies may be set by third-party services we use:

A) Google Analytics 4 (Google)
Google Analytics may set cookies or use similar technologies to measure and report website usage.

B) Cloudflare (CDN / Security)
We use Cloudflare to improve performance and protect against malicious traffic. Cloudflare may use cookies as part of security and optimization features.

C) Google Search Console
We use Google Search Console to monitor site presence in Google Search (indexing, performance, errors). Search Console generally provides reporting and does not require us to place additional cookies on your browser for basic reporting.

5) DOWNLOAD TRACKING (NOT A COOKIE)
When you download fonts, we log download activity server-side using a download monitoring plugin. This logging is used to evaluate font performance and detect suspicious activity. This is generally not performed through cookies; instead, it records technical download information such as IP, country (derived from IP), user-agent, and timestamp.

6) YOUR COOKIE CHOICES (ACCEPT / DECLINE)
Our cookie banner offers two options:
– Accept: allows the use of optional cookies (such as analytics cookies) in addition to essential cookies.
– Decline: rejects optional cookies (such as analytics cookies). Essential cookies may still be used because they are required for the website to function and for security.

Withdrawing consent later:
If you previously clicked “Accept” and wish to change your choice, you can:
– Clear/delete site cookies in your browser (or “site data” for fonts-for-free.com), then revisit the site; or
– Use your browser settings to block cookies and similar technologies.

Please note that blocking or deleting cookies may affect some site functionality.

7) OPT-OUT OPTIONS FOR GOOGLE SERVICES
A) Google Analytics
You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking using the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on:

B) Google Ads (Future AdSense)
If AdSense is enabled in the future, you may opt out of personalized advertising via Google Ads Settings:
https://adssettings.google.com/

You can also opt out of some third-party vendors’ uses of cookies for personalized advertising by visiting:

8) INTERNATIONAL USERS (EEA/UK/Switzerland)
If you are located in the EEA, the UK, or Switzerland, we may be required to obtain valid consent for certain non-essential cookies (including analytics and advertising cookies) and provide additional disclosures. Our cookie banner will be used to help manage consent where applicable.

9) UPDATES TO THIS COOKIE POLICY
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the “Effective Date” at the top of this page.
