Cookie Policy

Last Updated: March 24, 2026

This Cookie Policy explains how Cannabis Inquirer (cannabisinquirer.com) uses cookies and similar tracking technologies. The short version: we use very few cookies, and none of them track your behavior for advertising purposes.

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device by your web browser when you visit a website. They can be used to remember preferences, maintain sessions, analyze usage, and serve targeted advertising. Our cookie use is minimal and privacy-respecting.

Cookies We Use

Essential Cookies Only

We set one category of first-party cookies: WordPress session cookies. These are set only for logged-in users (administrators and editors) and are required for the Site to function. They do not track anonymous visitors and contain no personal data.

Newsletter Preference Cookie

If you subscribe to our newsletter, we may store a small cookie to remember your subscription status and prevent repeated subscription prompts during your session. This cookie does not track your browsing behavior.

Analytics — No Cookies

We use Plausible Analytics — a privacy-first, cookieless analytics platform. Plausible sets no cookies on your device. It collects no personal data. It performs no cross-site tracking. All analytics data is aggregate-only.

We do not use Google Analytics, Adobe Analytics, or any other analytics platform that sets tracking cookies or collects personal data.

What We Do NOT Use

• Google Analytics — not installed on this Site
• Facebook Pixel — not installed on this Site
• Advertising cookies — we do not serve behavioral or retargeted advertising
• Cross-site tracking — we do not track users across websites
• Fingerprinting — we do not use device fingerprinting techniques

Third-Party Embeds

We may occasionally embed content from third-party platforms such as YouTube or X (Twitter). When you interact with such embeds, those platforms may set their own cookies in accordance with their privacy policies. We recommend reviewing those policies separately. Where possible, we use privacy-enhanced embed modes that minimize third-party cookie setting.

Managing Cookies

You can control and delete cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to view cookies currently stored on your device, delete individual or all cookies, block cookies from specific sites, and receive a notification before a cookie is set.

Note: disabling cookies may affect the functionality of some Site features for logged-in users. Anonymous readers will experience no functional difference, as our analytics platform is cookieless.

Do Not Track

Our Site respects Do Not Track (DNT) browser signals. We do not track users regardless of DNT settings, but we honor DNT as a further expression of user privacy preferences.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated “Last Updated” date.
