Cookie Policy - Summary
BestMoneyRelief (operated by Web Scale LTD) uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to operate the Site, measure performance, and serve relevant advertising. This policy explains what cookies are, which ones we use, and how you can control them.
This Cookie Policy is part of our Privacy Policy. Terms defined in the Privacy Policy have the same meaning here. By continuing to use our Site, you consent to our use of cookies as described below.
1What Are Cookies?
A cookie is a small text file placed on your device (computer, tablet, or phone) when you visit a website. Cookies allow the website - and certain third parties - to recognize your browser on future visits, store your preferences, and understand how you interact with pages.
Session cookies expire automatically when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain on your device until they expire or you delete them. Cookies placed by the site you're visiting are "first-party cookies"; cookies placed by others (analytics providers, ad networks) are "third-party cookies."
We may also use pixel tags (also called web beacons or clear GIFs) - small transparent images embedded in pages or emails that help track visits and interactions. Pixels are often used together with cookies.

- To make the Site function correctly (essential operation)

- To measure how visitors use the Site (analytics)
- To understand which pages and content perform best

4Third-Party Cookies
We work with third-party service providers who may place cookies on your device when you visit our Site. These include:
Google Analytics
We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use the Site. Google Analytics uses cookies to collect anonymous usage data. IP addresses are anonymized. Google may transfer this data to servers in the United States. You can opt out using the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
Google Ads
We use Google Ads for advertising. Google may use cookies to track conversions when you click an ad and take an action on our Site. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your visit to our Site and other sites.
Meta (Facebook) Pixel
We may use the Meta Pixel to measure the effectiveness of our advertising on Facebook and Instagram, and to build advertising audiences. The pixel tracks actions on our Site after clicking a Meta ad.
Affiliate Tracking
We use affiliate tracking technologies (including cookies and pixel tags) to attribute referrals to our Partner providers and to receive compensation for qualifying referrals. This is how we fund our independent editorial service.

7Interest-Based Advertising
We and our advertising partners may use cookies to show you advertisements that are relevant to your interests based on your browsing behavior across different websites.
You can opt out of interest-based advertising through these industry tools:
- US users: Digital Advertising Alliance (DAA) opt-out

Opting out of interest-based advertising does not mean you will stop seeing ads - it means the ads you see will be less tailored to your interests.
