Last updated: November 5, 2026
We use cookies to run this site, understand how it is used, and measure our ads. You can turn off analytics and advertising cookies at any time in Cookie settings. If your browser sends a Global Privacy Control signal, we turn advertising cookies off automatically.
1. What cookies are
Cookies are small text files a website saves in your browser. Similar technologies include pixels, tags and local storage. In this policy we call all of them "cookies."
2. Cookies we use
| Type | What they do | Examples | Can you turn them off? |
|---|---|---|---|
| Necessary | Keep you signed in, run checkout and your membership, protect the site, and remember your cookie choice. | WordPress sign-in, WooCommerce cart and session, security cookies, bfu_cookie_consent, the mobile app's in-app view | No. The site cannot work without them. |
| Analytics | Show us which pages people visit and where they get stuck, so we can improve the site. | Google Analytics (_ga, _gid), Microsoft Clarity (_clck, _clsk). Clarity records how pages are used (clicks, scrolling) and masks what you type into forms. | Yes, in Cookie settings. |
| Advertising | Measure whether our ads work and show relevant Be Free University ads on Facebook and Instagram. | Meta Pixel (_fbp, _fbc) | Yes, in Cookie settings, or automatically with Global Privacy Control. |
| Video and embedded content | Play videos and show embedded content. | Vimeo, YouTube | These are set by the video provider when you play a video. You can block them in your browser. |
Our landing pages and funnels hosted on other platforms may use their own cookies, described on those pages.
3. Your choices
- Cookie settings: open Cookie settings (also linked in the footer) to turn analytics or advertising cookies off or back on. Your choice is saved in this browser for 12 months. If you clear your cookies or use another device, choose again.
- Global Privacy Control: if your browser or extension sends this signal, we treat it as a request to turn off advertising cookies.
- Your browser: most browsers let you block or delete cookies. Blocking necessary cookies will stop sign-in and checkout from working.
- The companies themselves: Google Analytics opt-out add-on (tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout), Meta ad preferences (facebook.com/adpreferences), and industry opt-outs at optout.aboutads.info.
We do not sell your personal information. We do not use bank, credit report or estate-planning information for advertising, and our member tools do not send that information to analytics or advertising companies.
4. Changes
If we add or change the cookies we use, we will update this policy and its "Last updated" date.
