Overview
This Cookie Policy explains how Matt Report Media, LLC, operating as The WP Minute (“we,” “us,” or “our”), uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on our website.
By continuing to use our website, you consent to our use of cookies as described in this policy. You can manage or withdraw your consent at any time using the options described below.
For questions, please contact us at [thewpminute.com/contact](https://thewpminute.com/contact).
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently, remember your preferences, and provide information to site owners about how their content is used.
Cookies may be:
- First-party cookies: Set directly by The WP Minute website
- Third-party cookies: Set by external services we use (such as analytics or embedded media providers)
Cookies may also be:
- Session cookies: Temporary cookies that are deleted when you close your browser
- Persistent cookies: Cookies that remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them
How We Use Cookies
We use cookies for the following purposes:
Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are required for the website to function. They cannot be disabled. They include cookies that:
- Enable basic site navigation and security functions
- Remember form inputs within a session
- Support contact form functionality
No personal information is stored in strictly necessary cookies.
Analytics
We use Fathom Analytics to understand how visitors interact with our website. Fathom is a privacy-first, cookieless analytics platform — it does not set any cookies on your device and does not collect or store personally identifiable information.
Because Fathom operates without cookies, it is fully compliant with GDPR, CCPA, and PECR, and does not require cookie consent for analytics. No personal data about you is collected through our use of Fathom. You can learn more about how Fathom works at [usefathom.com](https://usefathom.com).
Embedded Content Cookies
Our website may include embedded content from third-party platforms, such as:
- Podcast players (e.g., from our podcast hosting provider)
- YouTube or video embeds
- Social media embeds
When you interact with embedded content, the third-party provider may set their own cookies. We do not control these cookies. Please review the privacy and cookie policies of those platforms directly.
Functional Cookies
These cookies enable enhanced functionality, such as:
- Remembering your preferences (e.g., display settings)
- Enabling newsletter subscription forms to function correctly
Cookies We Do Not Use
The WP Minute does not use:
- Analytics cookies — our analytics provider (Fathom) is cookieless by design
- Advertising or retargeting cookies that track you across other websites for ad targeting purposes
- Fingerprinting or other invasive tracking technologies
- Cookies that profile you individually for marketing or commercial purposes
Sponsors and advertisers who appear in our content do not place cookies on our website through their sponsorship.
Third-Party Services That May Set Cookies
Some third-party services embedded in or connected to our website may set their own cookies. These include:
- Podcast hosting platforms that power embedded episode players on our site
- Kit (kit.com) which powers newsletter sign-up forms and may set functional cookies
- Content delivery networks (CDNs) that serve website assets
Note: Our analytics provider, Fathom, does not set cookies. See the Analytics section above.
Each of these providers has their own cookie and privacy policies. We encourage you to review them directly.
Managing and Disabling Cookies
You have several options for managing cookies:
Browser Settings
Most browsers allow you to view, manage, and delete cookies through their settings menus. You can typically:
- Block all cookies
- Block only third-party cookies
- Delete cookies when you close the browser
- Receive notifications before cookies are set
Instructions for managing cookies in common browsers:
- Chrome: Settings > Privacy and Security > Cookies and other site data
- Firefox: Settings > Privacy & Security > Cookies and Site Data
- Safari: Preferences > Privacy > Manage Website Data
- Edge: Settings > Cookies and site permissions
Please note that disabling cookies may affect the functionality of our website and other websites you visit.
Opt-Out Tools
Because we use Fathom Analytics — which is cookieless and collects no personal data — there is no analytics opt-out required. For any remaining third-party cookies, you can use your browser settings to block or delete cookies as described above.
Do Not Track
Some browsers include a “Do Not Track” (DNT) setting that signals to websites that you do not want to be tracked. Our website currently does not respond to DNT signals, as there is no consistent industry standard for doing so. We encourage you to use the cookie management options described above to control tracking on our site.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time as our Services evolve or in response to changes in applicable law. When we do, we will update the “Last Updated” date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
Governing Law
This Cookie Policy is governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, United States.
