It is intended to provide a clear understanding of what cookies are, how they are used, and what choices you have regarding their use.

What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to help websites function efficiently and to provide information to website owners about how visitors interact with their content.
Cookies allow a website to recognize your device and remember certain information about your visit, such as preferences, settings, or general usage patterns. This helps improve the overall browsing experience and ensures that the website works as intended.
There are different types of cookies used across websites:
- Session cookies, which are temporary and are deleted when you close your browser
- Persistent cookies, which remain on your device for a set period of time or until manually deleted
Cookies do not typically contain personally identifiable information on their own, but they may be linked to other data depending on how they are used.
How We Use Cookies
Better Shape Guide uses cookies and similar technologies to improve the functionality, usability, and performance of the website. These tools help us understand how visitors interact with the site and allow us to make improvements based on actual usage.
Cookies may be used to:
- Understand how visitors interact with the site, including which pages are viewed and how users navigate between them
- Improve content structure and navigation to make the site easier to use
- Remember basic preferences, such as browser settings or previously visited pages
- Monitor website performance and identify technical issues that may affect user experience
- Support general analytics that help us refine and optimize the website over time
We use cookies in a limited and practical way, focusing on improving the overall experience rather than collecting unnecessary or excessive data. Our goal is to ensure that the site functions smoothly and provides useful, accessible information to visitors.
In most cases, cookie data is collected in an aggregated and non-identifiable form, meaning it is used to analyze general trends rather than track individual users.
Types of Cookies We Use
Better Shape Guide uses different types of cookies to support the functionality, performance, and overall usability of the website. Each type of cookie serves a specific purpose, and together they help ensure that the site works smoothly and provides a better experience for visitors.
The cookies used are generally limited to essential functionality and performance insights, rather than unnecessary data collection. Below is an overview of the main types of cookies that may be used on this website.
Essential Cookies
Essential cookies are necessary for the website to function properly. These cookies enable core features such as page navigation, access to certain areas of the site, and basic functionality that allows the website to operate as intended.
Without these cookies, some parts of the website may not work correctly. For example, certain pages may fail to load properly, or basic navigation features may become unavailable.
These cookies do not collect information for marketing purposes and are typically required for the technical operation of the site. Because of their importance, they are usually enabled by default and cannot be fully disabled without affecting how the website functions.
Analytics Cookies
Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with the website. They collect information such as which pages are visited, how long users stay on each page, how they navigate between pages, and general patterns of site usage.
This data is used in an aggregated and non-identifiable way to improve the structure, content, and usability of the site. By understanding how visitors use the website, we can identify which areas are most helpful and where improvements may be needed.
Analytics cookies do not typically identify individual users. Instead, they provide general insights that help us make the website more efficient, user-friendly, and relevant to visitors.
Performance Cookies
Performance cookies help us monitor how the website operates on a technical level and allow us to identify any issues that may affect user experience. These cookies provide insights into how the site performs under different conditions, such as page loading times, responsiveness, and overall stability.
By collecting this type of information, we can detect errors, improve speed, and ensure that the website runs smoothly and efficiently for all users. Performance cookies play an important role in maintaining a reliable browsing experience, especially as the site grows and evolves.
The data collected through performance cookies is typically aggregated and used for internal analysis. It is not intended to identify individual users, but rather to help improve the technical quality and consistency of the website.
Affiliate and Tracking Cookies
Some cookies may be placed by third-party providers when you click on links within the site, particularly when those links direct you to external services or partner websites. These are commonly referred to as affiliate or tracking cookies.
These cookies are used to track referrals and interactions, helping third-party providers recognize that a visitor was directed from Better Shape Guide. This process may be used to attribute commissions when a user takes action, such as signing up for a service or making a purchase.
The data collected through these cookies may include information such as click activity, device type, browser details, and general browsing behavior. This information is typically used for tracking performance, measuring referrals, and improving services on the provider’s side.
Better Shape Guide does not directly control these cookies, as they are managed by the third-party providers. As a result, their use and handling are subject to the privacy policies and practices of those providers. We recommend reviewing the policies of any external sites you visit to better understand how your data may be used.
Third-Party Cookies
Better Shape Guide may use third-party services that place cookies on your device as part of supporting the functionality, performance, and analytics of the website. These cookies are set by external providers rather than directly by us and are commonly used across many websites to enhance user experience and gather useful insights.
These third-party cookies help enable certain features, measure performance, and track interactions in a way that allows us to better understand how the site is being used and how it can be improved.
Types of Third-Party Services
These services may include:
- Analytics providers
These tools help us understand how visitors interact with the site, including which pages are viewed, how long users stay, and how they navigate through the website. This information is used to improve content and usability. - Affiliate tracking platforms
These platforms use cookies to track referrals when users click on links to third-party providers. This helps attribute activity and, in some cases, commissions related to those interactions. - Website performance tools
These tools monitor technical performance, such as page load times, error rates, and overall site stability, helping ensure a smooth and efficient user experience.
