Cookie Policy
Last updated: 1 July 2026
This page explains what cookies we use on instantreeldownloader.com, what each one does, and how to turn them off. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.
1. What cookies are
Cookies are small text files a website stores in your browser. They let a site remember things between page loads. Some cookies are set by us; others are set by third parties whose services run on our pages, such as advertising networks.
2. Categories of cookies we use
Strictly necessary
Required for the site to work. These cannot be switched off. They set no advertising identifiers and are not used to track you across sites.
Analytics
Only set if you accept. These help us understand which articles are actually useful — which pages get read, how long people stay, roughly where visitors come from. The data is aggregated; we do not use it to identify individuals.
Advertising
Only set if you accept. This site is funded by advertising, and these cookies are what make it possible to show relevant ads and measure whether they worked. Set by Google AdSense and third-party ad partners, typically lasting up to 24 months.
3. Google AdSense specifically
- Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website or other websites.
- Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to our site and/or other sites on the internet.
- You can opt out of personalised advertising at Google Ads Settings. You will still see ads — they will just be less relevant.
- You can opt out of many third-party vendors’ cookies at aboutads.info/choices or youronlinechoices.com.
Blocking advertising cookies does not break this site. Every article remains fully readable.
4. Managing cookies in your browser
Every major browser lets you block or delete cookies:
- Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Third-party cookies
- Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
- Safari: Settings → Privacy → Block all cookies
- Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions
Note that blocking all cookies site-wide will affect most websites you use, not just this one.
5. Changes to this policy
We will update this page if our cookie use changes, and revise the date at the top.
