Cookie Policy

Last updated: July 25, 2026. This Cookie Policy explains how BrewCraft Academy uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit our website, read reviews, click comparison links, and browse buying guides.

A cookie is a small piece of data a website can send to your browser, which your browser may store and send back on later visits. Cookies help websites remember settings and keep basic site functions working.

This policy focuses on cookies and similar tools, such as pixels or tags, used on our pages. For details about how we handle personal information more broadly, please review our Privacy Policy if available on the site.

Some cookies are set by us, known as first-party cookies. Other cookies may be set by companies whose tools appear on the site, such as analytics, embedded media, or referral and affiliate tracking providers. These are third-party cookies.

We use these technologies to make the site work reliably, understand what content is helpful, and attribute clicks when you follow product links to a retailer or partner.

BrewCraft Academy is a review and education site. When you click certain links, we may earn a commission from the retailer or partner at no extra cost to you. Those partners may use cookies to track referrals.

Cookies don't typically tell us who you are by name. However, depending on your device settings and the tools in use, some cookie data may be treated as personal information under certain privacy laws.

If you disable or delete cookies, parts of the site may not work as intended. For example, some preferences may reset, and some embedded features or measurement tools may not load properly.

You can control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to delete existing cookies, block all cookies, or block only certain kinds such as third-party cookies, but options vary by browser and device.

If you clear cookies, you may be signed out of any accounts on other sites and may need to reselect preferences on sites you revisit. Clearing cookies can also remove opt-out cookies that remember your previous choices.

Many browsers include settings to limit cross-site tracking. Blocking third-party cookies can reduce tracking across different websites, but it can also break some embedded tools or referral attribution flows.

Some third parties provide their own opt-out tools, for example within their account settings or privacy pages. If a third-party tool is present on our site, your opt-out may need to be repeated across browsers and devices.

If you choose to use privacy-focused browser modes or extensions, they may automatically block certain scripts, pixels, or cookies. In that case, some site features like embedded videos or interactive widgets may not display.

We do not promise that a Do Not Track browser signal will change how third-party tools behave. The W3C's Do Not Track compliance standard did not see broad adoption, and support across the web has been inconsistent.

On shared or public devices, consider signing out after use and clearing cookies and browser data. This helps limit access to stored identifiers and reduces the chance of another user resuming your browsing context.

If you want a clean slate for shopping research, you can use separate browser profiles or a different browser for gear comparisons versus everyday browsing. This is a practical way to reduce cross-site carryover without breaking essential site functions.

If you live in a place with privacy rights, for example certain U.S. states or countries in Europe, you may have additional choices about how personal information is collected, used, or shared, including data collected via cookies.

California notice: The California Privacy Rights Act, or CPRA, amended the California Consumer Privacy Act, known as CCPA, and added additional consumer privacy rights that began on January 1, 2023.

Depending on how cookies are used on a given page, for example for cross-site analytics or marketing, cookie identifiers may fall within definitions of personal information under some laws. If our site offers a privacy request method, you can use it to exercise applicable rights.

If we use third-party advertising or measurement tools, those providers may collect data directly from your browser and may use it for their own purposes under their own policies. We encourage you to review the privacy and cookie policies of any third party you interact with.

EU/UK notice: In Europe, cookie rules typically require prior consent for non-essential cookies, while certain strictly necessary cookies may be exempt. Requirements depend on the purpose of the cookie and local implementation.

If we present a cookie banner or preference center, where required or offered, you can use it to accept, reject, or customize non-essential cookies. Your choices may be stored in a cookie so we can remember them.

We aim to keep this policy accurate, but technology changes quickly. Browsers, consent frameworks, and third-party tools evolve. We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time and will revise the Last updated date above.

Questions about this Cookie Policy can be sent through the contact method provided on our website. If you're contacting us about cookie choices, include your browser, device, and approximate date and time so we can better understand the situation.
