Cookie Policy

Last updated: January 2026

This Cookie Policy explains how Sheets & Cells ("we," "us," "our," "sheetsandcells.com") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on our website. It complements our Privacy Policy — read that document for the full picture of how we collect and use your data.

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that websites place on your device when you visit them. They help the site remember information about your visit (like language preferences, login state, or cookie consent choices) and enable analytics that help site owners understand how the site is being used.

Cookies can be:

  • First-party — set by the website you're visiting (in our case, sheetsandcells.com)
  • Third-party — set by other services embedded on the page (analytics, video players, etc.)
  • Session cookies — deleted when you close your browser
  • Persistent cookies — remain on your device for a set period or until manually deleted

Cookie Categories We Use

Strictly Necessary Required

These cookies are essential for the site to function. They handle security, session state, and cookie consent preferences. Without them, core features like login and secure checkout would not work.

Cannot be disabled. If you block these cookies, parts of the site will not work correctly.

Analytics Optional

These cookies help us understand how visitors use the site — which pages are popular, where readers come from, how long they stay, and what content works well. All data is anonymized before analysis. We use Google Analytics 4 and Plausible for this purpose.

Can be disabled via the cookie banner shown on your first visit or in your browser settings.

Functionality Optional

These cookies remember your preferences — things like dark/light mode, dismissed notifications, or your preferred spreadsheet platform (Excel vs Google Sheets). They make return visits feel personalized.

Can be disabled, but the site will forget your preferences on each visit.

Marketing / Advertising Optional

We do not currently use third-party marketing or advertising cookies. If this changes in the future, we will update this policy and require your explicit consent before setting any such cookies.

Specific Cookies We Set

The exact list of cookies set on your device may vary. Common examples include:

Cookie Name Category Purpose Duration
cookie_consent Necessary Stores your cookie preferences 1 year
wordpress_test_cookie Necessary Verifies your browser accepts cookies Session
_ga, _ga_* Analytics Google Analytics anonymous usage 13 months

Third-Party Cookies

Some pages on Sheets & Cells embed content or scripts from third-party services. When you interact with those, the third party may set their own cookies. We do not control these cookies — refer to the third party's own privacy policy for details.

How to Manage Cookies

Via our cookie banner

On your first visit, a cookie banner appears asking for consent. You can choose to accept all, reject all optional cookies, or customize your preferences. You can change your choice any time by clicking the "Cookie Preferences" link in our footer.

Via your browser settings

Every modern browser lets you control cookies at the browser level. Instructions:

You can also delete existing cookies. Note that blocking all cookies may break parts of the site.

Do Not Track

Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" (DNT) setting that signals your preference not to be tracked. Because there's no industry consensus on how to interpret DNT signals, we do not currently respond to them. We do, however, honor cookie consent choices made via our banner.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time — usually when we add or remove third-party services. Changes take effect when posted on this page. The "Last updated" date at the top reflects the most recent revision. For significant changes, we will notify you via a banner on the site.
