This Cookie Policy explains how Better Words Desk (accessible at https://puieq.com) uses cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit our website. We want you to understand what cookies are, why we use them, and how you can control them.
Better Words Desk is an English learning resource that helps you find simple synonyms, professional word choices, writing improvements, and student vocabulary. Our goal is to give you clear, practical answers for real writing, email, study, or everyday conversation. This policy applies to all visitors of our site.
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your computer, tablet, or mobile device when you visit. They help the website remember your actions and preferences over time. Most websites use cookies to improve your experience.
Cookies can be “session cookies” (which are deleted when you close your browser) or “persistent cookies” (which stay on your device for a set period or until you delete them).
How We Use Cookies
We may use cookies for several purposes. These include making the site work properly, understanding how visitors use our content, and improving your experience. Below is a breakdown of the types of cookies we may use.
Functional Cookies
Functional cookies are essential for the basic operation of our website. They allow you to navigate the site and use its features. For example, these cookies may remember your cookie preferences so you do not have to set them every time you visit. Without these cookies, some parts of the site may not work correctly.
These cookies do not collect personal information for marketing purposes. They are usually session cookies and are deleted when you close your browser.
Analytics Cookies
Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website. We may use analytics tools to collect information about which pages you visit, how long you stay, and what links you click. This data helps us improve our content and site structure.
For example, we may see that many visitors from our Student Vocabulary section also visit the Writing Improvements category. This helps us organize our guides better.
Analytics cookies do not identify you personally. The information is collected in an anonymous, aggregated form.
Advertising Cookies
We may use advertising cookies to support the free content we provide. These cookies help us show ads that are more relevant to you. They may also support frequency capping (limiting how many times you see the same ad), ad measurement (tracking how effective an ad is), and fraud prevention (ensuring ad clicks are genuine).
Advertising cookies may be set by us or by third-party ad networks. They may track your browsing activity across different websites to build a profile of your interests. This helps us show you ads that are more likely to be useful to you.
You can control whether these cookies are used through your browser settings or through third-party opt-out tools.
Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies on our site may be set by third-party services we use. For example, we may use third-party analytics providers or advertising networks. These third parties may set their own cookies on your device.
We do not control these third-party cookies. You should check the privacy policies of these third parties for more information about how they use your data.
Web Beacons and Pixel Tags
We may use web beacons (also called pixel tags or clear GIFs) on our site. These are small, invisible images that help us track user behavior. Web beacons work with cookies to understand how you interact with our content.
For example, a web beacon may tell us if you opened an email from us or visited a specific page. This helps us measure the effectiveness of our content and communications.
Web beacons do not store any personal information on your device. They simply help us collect usage data.
How to Control Cookies
You have the right to choose whether to accept cookies. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser settings to decline cookies if you prefer.
Here are some ways you can control cookies:
- Browser settings: You can set your browser to block or delete cookies. Each browser is different, so check your browser’s help menu for instructions.
- Opt-out tools: Some third-party advertising networks offer opt-out tools that let you choose not to receive targeted ads.
- Cookie consent banner: When you first visit our site, you may see a cookie consent banner. You can use this to accept or decline non-essential cookies.
Please note that if you disable cookies, some features of our site may not work properly. For example, you may not be able to use certain interactive elements.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically to stay informed about how we use cookies.
