This Cookie Policy explains what cookies Modern Compass uses, why we use them, and how you can control them. It supplements our Privacy Policy.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that websites place on your device to store information. They help sites remember your preferences, keep you signed in, and understand how you interact with the site. Some cookies are essential for the site to function; others are optional and only activated with your consent.

2. Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are required for Modern Compass to function. They cannot be disabled. Because they are essential, they do not require your consent under privacy regulations.

3. Analytics Cookies

These cookies help us understand how visitors use Modern Compass so we can improve the experience. They are only activated if you click “Accept All” on the consent banner or enable analytics in your cookie preferences.

If you revoke analytics consent, we will immediately stop collecting analytics data and clear all Google Analytics cookies from your browser.

Browser-Level Controls

Most browsers let you block or delete cookies through their settings. Be aware that blocking strictly necessary cookies may prevent you from using Modern Compass. Consult your browser’s help documentation for instructions on managing cookies.

5. Cookies We Do Not Use

Modern Compass does not use advertising cookies, retargeting pixels, social media tracking cookies, or cross-site tracking of any kind. We do not sell or share cookie data with advertisers.
