This policy explains the cookies FreePhoneSpy uses on its website, what each kind is for, which are essential and which are optional, and how you can control them in your browser. It sits alongside our Privacy Policy.

What cookies are
A cookie is a small text file a website stores on your device when you visit. It lets the site remember things between pages and between visits, such as that you are signed in or a preference you set. Similar technologies such as local storage and pixels do comparable jobs; where we say “cookies” we mean these too. Some cookies last only for your current session and disappear when you close the browser; others stay for a set period so the site remembers you next time.
First-party and third-party cookies
First-party cookies are set by FreePhoneSpy itself and are used to run the site and your panel. Third-party cookies are set by other companies whose tools appear on our pages, such as an analytics provider or an advertising network. We control our own cookies; third-party cookies are governed by the policies of the companies that set them.
The cookies we use
Essential cookies
These make the site work and cannot be switched off without breaking it. They keep you signed in to the web panel, hold your session securely, remember steps in a form, and help protect against fraud and cross-site request abuse. Because they are strictly necessary to provide a service you asked for, they do not need your consent, but we still explain them here.
Preference cookies
These remember choices you make so the site behaves the way you like, for instance a display setting or dismissing a notice you have already read. They are not essential, but they make the site more comfortable to use.
Analytics cookies
We may use privacy-respecting analytics to understand how visitors use the site, such as which pages are read and where people arrive from, so we can improve the product and its guides. These cookies are optional, and where the law requires it we ask for your consent before they are set. Analytics data is used in aggregate to improve the site, not to identify you personally.
Advertising cookies
The site may show advertising through Google AdSense. Google and the advertising vendors it works with can set cookies on your browser to serve ads, measure how they perform, and limit how often you see the same one; some of these cookies may be used to show ads based on your visits to this and other sites. Where the law requires consent for advertising cookies, we ask for it before they are set.
You can control ad personalization directly with Google through Google Ads Settings, and you can review or opt out of interest-based advertising from participating companies through the industry tool at aboutads.info. Opting out of personalized advertising does not stop ads from showing, it means the ads you see are no longer based on this kind of tracking.
Your consent
Essential cookies are always on because the site cannot run without them. For optional cookies, meaning analytics and advertising, we rely on your consent where the law requires it, and you can change your mind at any time. If a consent banner is shown, your choices there control which optional cookies are allowed. Withdrawing consent does not affect cookies already stored, but you can clear those in your browser as described below.
How to control cookies in your browser
You are always in charge of cookies at the browser level. Every major browser lets you see the cookies stored, delete them, and block some or all of them. Look under Settings, then a Privacy, Security or Cookies section, in Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Edge and the others. You can usually block third-party cookies while keeping first-party ones, use a private or incognito window that clears cookies when you close it, or set the browser to ask each time. Bear in mind that if you block essential cookies you will not be able to sign in to the panel, and some parts of the site may not work.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy as the tools we use change. When we do, we will update the date above. Please check back so you know which cookies are in use.
