Cookie Policy

Last updated: August 6, 2026

This Cookie Policy explains how Fearless Patriot (“we,” “us,” or “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies on thefearlesspatriot.com (the “Site”). Read it together with our Privacy Policy. This is a comprehensive starter policy for a creator website with worldwide visitors — not legal advice. Update it when you add analytics, ad pixels, or a consent banner.

1. What this Policy covers

In plain English This page explains tracking technologies on our website — including ones set by us and by third parties like video or social embeds.

This Policy describes cookies and similar technologies used when you visit the Site. It does not control cookies set entirely on third-party websites after you leave our Site, except to explain that leaving (or loading embeds) can trigger those technologies.

2. What are cookies & similar technologies?

In plain English Cookies are small text files stored on your device. Sites also use related tools like local storage and pixels.

Cookies are small text files placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a site. They are widely used to make sites work, remember preferences, understand traffic, and support advertising.

We may also use similar technologies, such as:

Local storage / session storage — data stored in your browser for functionality or preferences
Pixels / tags / SDKs — small snippets that send information to us or a provider when a page loads or an event occurs
Server logs — technical records created by hosting infrastructure (not always “cookies,” but often used alongside them for security and diagnostics)

For simplicity, this Policy often says “cookies” to include these similar technologies where the context fits.

3. Who sets cookies on the Site?

In plain English Some cookies come from us (or our host). Others come from companies whose content loads on the page.

First-party cookies — set by thefearlesspatriot.com (or our core hosting stack acting for the Site)
Third-party cookies — set by other domains, such as YouTube, Meta/Facebook/Instagram, X, analytics vendors, or ad networks when their code or embeds are present

4. How we use cookies today

In plain English Right now this is mostly a simple media site. Expect essential hosting/security cookies and anything triggered by embeds or social clicks — not a huge ad stack (yet).

In the ordinary course, cookies and similar technologies may be used to:

Deliver and secure the Site (hosting, routing, abuse prevention)
Remember basic preferences if we add them
Enable or measure embedded or linked third-party media (especially video and social platforms)
Support future analytics or marketing tools if we enable them intentionally

We do not currently operate a heavy on-site advertising cookie suite. If that changes, we will update this Policy and, where required by law, introduce consent or opt-out tooling.

5. Cookie categories

In plain English We group cookies into necessary, analytics, marketing, and preference types so you can understand why they exist.

The sections below describe each category. Exact cookie names change as providers update their technology; this Policy focuses on purposes rather than a brittle name-by-name inventory. If we publish a detailed cookie table later, it will supplement this Policy.

6. Necessary / essential cookies

In plain English These keep the site working and secure. The site may break if you block all of them.

Necessary cookies are required for core operation and security. They may be set by us or by infrastructure providers (for example Vercel or DNS/CDN/security services) to:

Load pages and balance traffic
Protect against bots, fraud, or denial-of-service patterns
Maintain basic session integrity
Store a record of cookie preferences if we add a consent tool

In many jurisdictions, essential cookies do not require consent, but we still disclose them here. Blocking them may cause the Site — or parts of it — to fail.

7. Analytics cookies

In plain English Analytics cookies help us see which pages get traffic (in aggregate), not to read your private email.

Analytics cookies and similar tools help us understand how visitors use the Site — for example which pages are viewed, approximate location derived from IP, device type, referring sites, and performance issues. If we enable analytics providers (privacy-oriented tools or industry-standard tools such as Google Analytics-style products), they may set cookies or use similar identifiers.

We will prefer privacy-conscious configurations where practical (for example IP truncation options when available). When analytics tools are added or changed, we will update this Policy.

8. Marketing / advertising cookies

In plain English These measure ads or build audiences. We are not running a full ad pixel suite on-site by default; if we add one, we’ll say so here.

Marketing cookies may be used to measure campaigns, attribute referrals, or build audiences on advertising platforms (for example Meta or Google). They can track visits across sites when those platforms’ technologies are present.

We will only introduce intentional on-site marketing pixels when we choose to, and we will update this Cookie Policy (and consent or opt-out mechanisms where legally required) when we do. Separately, third-party platforms may still set marketing-related cookies when you use their embeds or visit their sites.

9. Preference / functional cookies

In plain English These remember choices like language or UI preferences — if we offer them.

Preference cookies remember choices you make (for example dismissing a banner or saving a non-essential setting) so the Site behaves more like you expect on return visits. If we do not offer such features, few or no preference cookies may be used.

10. Embedded YouTube, Instagram, X & Facebook

In plain English Social and video embeds are the most common reason third-party cookies appear on creator sites — even when we aren’t running ads ourselves.

The Site may link to or embed content from YouTube, Instagram, X (Twitter), Facebook, and similar services. When those embeds load — or when you click through to those platforms — they may:

Set first- and third-party cookies on your device
Collect IP address, device identifiers, and interaction data
Associate activity with an account if you are logged into that platform

Those practices are controlled by the third party’s terms and privacy / cookie policies, not by Fearless Patriot. We do not control their tracking. To limit it, use browser controls, platform privacy settings, or avoid loading embeds / visiting those sites.

11. Email signup vs. cookies

In plain English Giving us your email is not a cookie — but it is personal data covered by the Privacy Policy.

Submitting your email through Site forms sends information to our servers and processors (for example hosting functions and list storage or email delivery tools). That is personal data processing described in the Privacy Policy, not the same thing as a browser cookie — though servers may still create ordinary technical logs when you submit a form.

12. How long cookies last

In plain English Some cookies disappear when you close the browser; others stay until they expire or you delete them.

Session cookies — typically expire when you close your browser
Persistent cookies — remain for a set period or until deleted, so a site or provider can recognize a returning browser

Exact lifetimes depend on the provider and purpose. Third-party platforms set their own durations.

13. How to control & disable cookies

In plain English You can block or delete cookies in your browser. Blocking everything may break embeds or site features.

You can manage cookies through:

Browser settings — block, delete, or limit cookies (see help for Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Edge, or your mobile browser)
Private / Incognito windows — often limit how long cookies persist after the session
Platform ad settings — for example Google, Meta, and other networks’ ad-preference and privacy tools for off-site ads
Industry opt-outs — where available for interest-based advertising (these tools change over time; search for current options in your region)
On-site consent controls — if we later add a cookie banner or preference center, use it to manage non-essential categories

If you disable cookies, some Site features — especially embedded media — may not function properly.

14. “Do Not Track” and global privacy signals

In plain English There’s no universal standard for older “Do Not Track” browser signals. If the law requires us to honor newer opt-out signals for ads, we’ll aim to do that when those tools apply.

Some browsers offer a Do Not Track (DNT) signal. Because there is no consistent industry standard for responding to DNT, we do not currently respond to DNT beyond the practices described in this Policy and the Privacy Policy.

Certain U.S. state laws recognize browser-based opt-out preference signals (such as Global Privacy Control) for “sale” or “sharing” of personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising. If we deploy technologies covered by those rules, we will aim to honor legally required signals where applicable and describe that process in the Privacy Policy.

15. International visitors

In plain English Visitors from outside the U.S. may have extra cookie/consent rules. We operate from the U.S. and will add consent tooling if/when we need it for specific markets.

The Site is operated from the United States and may be accessed worldwide. Some countries require prior consent for non-essential cookies. Our current footprint is a relatively simple media site; if we expand analytics/advertising in regions that require consent banners, we will implement appropriate notices and controls. Mandatory local rules that cannot be waived still apply to the extent required by law.

16. Updates to this Policy

In plain English When our tools change, this page will too — check the date at the top.

We may update this Cookie Policy to reflect new tools, legal requirements, or Site changes. When we do, we will revise the “Last updated” date and may provide additional notice for material changes.
