Cookie Policy

Last updated: May 24, 2026

This Cookie Policy explains how AcreScout uses cookies and similar technologies on acre-scout.com.

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, improve performance, and provide information to the site owner. Some cookies are "essential" (required for the site to function), and others are optional (analytics, preferences, advertising).

Cookies We Use

We use a minimal set of cookies. We do not use third-party advertising or tracking cookies.

Essential cookies: required for the website to function properly. These include cookies that remember your acceptance of this Cookie Policy. Without these, the site cannot operate normally.
Analytics cookies (Plausible): Plausible Analytics is a privacy-friendly analytics service that does not use traditional tracking cookies or collect personally identifiable information. It records aggregate visit data (page views, referring source, country, device type) without identifying individual users. Plausible is GDPR, CCPA, and PECR compliant by design.

Third-Party Cookies

When you interact with embedded third-party services on our site (such as the Stripe checkout when you purchase a Report), those third parties may set their own cookies. Their cookie practices are governed by their respective privacy and cookie policies:

Stripe: https://stripe.com/cookies-policy/legal
Beehiiv (if you subscribe via embedded form): https://www.beehiiv.com/privacy

Cookie Duration

Cookies may be "session" cookies (deleted when you close your browser) or "persistent" cookies (remain on your device for a set period). Our essential cookies are typically session cookies. Plausible Analytics does not use persistent tracking cookies.

Managing Your Cookie Preferences

You may control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to refuse all cookies, accept only essential cookies, or be notified when a cookie is set. Disabling essential cookies may impair website functionality.
