This Cookie Policy explains how DeepBrief uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit deepbrief.co. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which covers how we handle personal data more broadly.
1. What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They help the site remember your preferences and understand how you use it. Cookies cannot run programs or deliver viruses — they are simple text files.

These cookies are required for the site to function. They cannot be disabled. They do not store personally identifiable information. Examples: session management, security tokens, load balancing. Duration: session (deleted when you close your browser).
Analytics Cookies
These cookies help us understand how readers find and use DeepBrief. We use this data to improve the site — understanding which articles are read, how long readers stay, and where they come from. Set by Google Analytics 4 (_ga, _ga_*, _gid). Duration: up to 2 years. Opt-out: google.com/settings/ads or your browser settings.

6. How Long Do Cookies Last
Session cookies are deleted when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain until they expire or you delete them. Specific durations are listed in Section 3 above.
