This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how The Cozy Budget uses them, and how you can manage them. It works alongside our Privacy Policy.
Effective date: June 3, 2026
The Cozy Budget (thecozybudget.com) is operated by Fuente Empresarial S.A.S. When you visit the Site, we and certain third parties use cookies and similar technologies as described below.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device (computer, tablet, or phone) when you visit. They’re widely used to make websites work, to remember your preferences, and to provide information to the site’s owners and to third parties. Cookies can be “session” cookies, which are erased when you close your browser, or “persistent” cookies, which stay on your device until they expire or you delete them. We also use similar technologies such as web beacons and pixels, which we refer to collectively as “cookies” in this policy.
The types of cookies we use
We group the cookies on our Site into four categories:
- Strictly necessary cookies. These are required for the Site to function and for basic features like page navigation, security, and remembering your cookie consent choices. The Site cannot work properly without them, so they cannot be switched off through the consent banner.
- Analytics cookies. These help us understand how visitors use the Site — which pages are popular, how people arrive, and where we can improve. We use Google Analytics 4 (GA4), deployed through Google Tag Manager, for this purpose. The data is generally aggregated.
- Advertising cookies. These are used to deliver and measure advertising, including personalized ads. We use Google AdSense, and Google and its partners may set advertising cookies (such as the DoubleClick / Google advertising cookie) to show you ads based on your prior visits to this and other sites.
- Preference cookies. These remember choices you make to give you a more personalized experience, such as settings you’ve selected on the Site.

Third-party cookies
Some cookies on the Site are set by third parties rather than by us. The main third party is Google, which provides our analytics (Google Analytics 4) and advertising (Google AdSense). These third parties may use cookies to collect information about your activity across different websites. We do not control these cookies, and their use is governed by the relevant third party’s own privacy and cookie policies. You can learn more in Google’s cookie policy.
Managing and disabling cookies
You have several ways to control cookies:
- Our consent banner (CookieYes). When you first visit the Site (where required by law), our CookieYes consent banner lets you accept, reject, or customize non-essential cookie categories such as analytics and advertising. You can reopen these settings at any time using the cookie settings link on the Site to change your preferences.
- Your browser settings. Most browsers let you view, block, or delete cookies through their settings or preferences menu. Check the help section of your specific browser (Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Edge, and others) for instructions. Please note that blocking all cookies may affect how parts of the Site work.
- Advertising opt-outs. You can opt out of personalized advertising through Google Ads Settings at https://www.google.com/settings/ads and through the Digital Advertising Alliance at www.aboutads.info/choices.
- Analytics opt-out. You can opt out of Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
Changes to this Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. When we do, we’ll update the “Effective date” above. If you have any questions, email us at hello@thecozybudget.com.
