Cookie Policy

Last updated: August 1, 2026

This Cookie Policy explains how The Fluent Professor (“we,” “us,” “our”), operating at https://thefluentprofessor.com/ (“the Site”), uses cookies and similar tracking technologies. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.

1. What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They help the site function, remember your preferences, and provide information to the site owner and third parties about how the site is used.

2. Types of Cookies We Use

Essential Cookies Required for the Site to function properly (e.g., loading pages, remembering cookie consent choices). These cannot be disabled without affecting core functionality.

Analytics Cookies Help us understand how visitors interact with the Site — pages viewed, time spent, traffic sources — so we can improve content and user experience (e.g., Google Analytics).

Advertising Cookies Placed by our advertising partners, including Mediavine and/or MGID, and their network of third-party advertisers. These cookies are used to:

  • Deliver interest-based (personalized) advertising.
  • Limit how often you see the same ad.
  • Measure ad performance.
  • Build advertising audience segments based on browsing behavior across sites.

Affiliate Tracking Cookies When you click an affiliate link on the Site (e.g., to Rocket Languages), a cookie may be set by the affiliate partner to track that the referral came from our Site, so we may earn a commission if you make a purchase. See our Affiliate Disclosure for details.

3. Third-Party Cookies

Because we work with advertising management partners, third-party companies within their advertising networks may also set cookies on your device when you visit the Site. We do not control these cookies directly. For more information on Mediavine’s use of cookies and data, see: https://www.mediavine.com/privacy-policy/

4. Your Cookie Choices

Cookie Consent Banner On your first visit, you’ll be shown a cookie consent banner where you can accept or reject non-essential cookies (analytics and advertising). You can change your preferences at any time by [insert link/method — e.g., “clicking the cookie preferences link in the footer”].

Browser Controls Most browsers let you block or delete cookies through their settings. Note that blocking essential cookies may affect Site functionality, and blocking advertising cookies will not stop ads from displaying — it will only make them less personalized.

Opt-Out Tools US visitors can opt out of interest-based advertising via the Digital Advertising Alliance: https://optout.aboutads.info/ EU/UK visitors’ consent choices are managed through our cookie consent banner in compliance with GDPR/UK GDPR.

5. How Long Cookies Last

  • Session cookies are deleted when you close your browser.
  • Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period (varying by cookie, typically between 24 hours and 2 years) or until manually deleted.

6. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy as our use of cookies or applicable law changes. The “Last updated” date above reflects the most recent revision.
