Cookie Policy
Effective date: 24 June 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how The Best Viewpoints uses cookies and similar technologies on thebestviewpoints.com.
The website is operated by Jaromir Zaoral, Swedish sole trader, trading as The Best Viewpoints. Privacy questions can be sent to info@thebestviewpoints.com.
1. What cookies are
Cookies are small text files stored on a device when a website is visited. Similar technologies may use browser storage, pixels, tags or identifiers to remember choices, provide functionality, measure website use or support advertising.
2. Consent
Cookies that are strictly necessary for the website or a service explicitly requested by the visitor may be used without consent. Analytics, advertising and other non-essential technologies are used only after the visitor consents through the cookie banner.
Visitors can accept, reject or customise non-essential technologies. Consent can be changed or withdrawn at any time through the persistent Cookie settings link in the website footer. Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of prior processing.
3. Cookie categories
Strictly necessary
These technologies support core functions such as security, network management, consent storage, checkout continuity and fraud prevention. The website may not work correctly without them.
Necessary technologies are not used for optional advertising or behavioural analytics.
Analytics
With consent, Google Analytics helps us understand matters such as page visits, general traffic sources, device type and how visitors navigate the website. We use this information to improve content and usability.
Common Google Analytics cookies may include:
| Cookie | Typical purpose | Typical maximum duration |
|---|---|---|
_ga | Distinguishes website visitors for analytics | Up to 2 years |
_ga_<container-id> | Maintains session and analytics state | Up to 2 years |
Exact names and durations may vary with configuration and Google updates. The live consent tool should display the currently detected cookies.
Advertising
With consent, Meta Pixel helps measure advertising results, understand whether a visit followed an advertisement and create or measure relevant audiences.
Common Meta technologies may include:
| Cookie | Typical purpose | Typical maximum duration |
|---|---|---|
_fbp | Advertising measurement and attribution | Around 3 months |
Meta may associate information with a Meta account according to its own privacy terms.
Functional and embedded content
Some third-party content, including Google Maps or Google My Maps previews, may use storage or send information to the third party. Where such processing is not strictly necessary, the content should remain blocked until consent or be offered through a click-to-load mechanism.
4. Google Tag Manager
Google Tag Manager is used to manage website tags. It must not be used to bypass a visitor’s choice. Analytics and advertising tags configured through Google Tag Manager should remain disabled until the corresponding consent has been granted.
5. Stripe and Link checkout
When a visitor follows a purchase link, Stripe and Link may use necessary checkout, payment, authentication and fraud-prevention technologies on their own domains. Stripe/Link provides its own cookie and privacy information within the checkout environment.
6. Providers
Relevant providers may include:
- Google Ireland Limited and Google LLC — Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager and embedded Google services;
- Meta Platforms Ireland Limited — Meta Pixel and advertising measurement;
- one.com — website and infrastructure services;
- Stripe and Link — checkout and payment services; and
- the website’s WordPress consent, security and performance providers.
Some providers may process data outside the European Economic Area using an applicable adequacy decision, the EU–US Data Privacy Framework, standard contractual clauses or another lawful safeguard.
7. Managing cookies
Use the Cookie settings link in the website footer to review or change your choice. Browser settings can also delete or block cookies, although blocking strictly necessary technologies may affect website functions.
The cookie banner should offer Accept, Reject and Settings with equally clear choices. Closing or ignoring the banner must not be interpreted as consent.
8. More information
