Cookie Policy
Summary
The only cookies on SecureSpend Guide are Google Analytics cookies, which help us see which guides are useful. Google's advertising features are turned off. If your browser sends Global Privacy Control, analytics doesn't load at all, and the site works fully with cookies blocked.
This Cookie Policy explains how buysecurenow.com ("SecureSpend Guide") uses cookies and similar technologies. Effective date: October 29, 2026.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website stores in your browser. They can remember preferences, measure how a site is used, or track your activity across sites for advertising. Similar technologies include local storage, pixels and device fingerprinting.
Cookies we use
SecureSpend Guide has no accounts, forms, comments or advertising. The only cookies we use are analytics cookies from Google Analytics. They help us understand, in aggregate, which guides are useful and how visitors find them. They are first-party cookies set on buysecurenow.com, and we have turned off Google's advertising features (Google signals and ad personalization).

Our hosting provider or a security service in front of the site might also set a strictly necessary security cookie to block automated attacks. If one is set, it is used only for security.
Third-party websites
When you follow a link to another website, such as the official SecureSpend site or a government site, that site may set its own cookies under its own policy. We don't control those cookies. Please review the cookie and privacy policies of any site you visit.
How to control cookies
- Global Privacy Control: if your browser sends a GPC signal, we don't load Google Analytics at all, so no analytics cookies are set.
- Browser settings: you can view, block and delete cookies in your browser. Blocking them won't affect how this site works.
- Google's opt-out: install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on (opens in a new tab) to stop Google Analytics on all websites.
Changes to this policy
If we change the cookies we use, we will update this page and our Privacy Policy before the change goes live, and ask for consent where the law requires it.
