Cookie Policy
Last updated: 8 April 2026
Decide Your Money uses only strictly necessary and functional cookies. We measure site usage with Vercel Web Analytics, a privacy-respecting service that operates entirely server-side and does not set cookies or collect personal information. We use one functional cookie for our affiliate referral program (Affonso) so partners who refer you can earn a commission if you purchase. We do not use advertising cookies, behavioural retargeting cookies, or any third-party tracking pixels. You can disable any cookie in your browser settings — instructions below.
