At Resourcera, our commitment is to provide you with high-value, data-driven resources for business growth in a transparent and seamless environment. This policy explains the limited and focused way we use cookies to ensure the integrity and accessibility of our service.
1. Our Commitment to Minimal Data Collection
We are committed to not selling your personal data. We do not use intrusive advertising or extensive, cross-site tracking technologies that follow you around the internet.
We use cookies for two primary reasons:
- To make our Website work correctly.
- To fairly support our business model so we can continue providing free, high-quality content.
2. The Cookies Used on Resourcera
We categorize the cookies on our site based on their function and who sets them:
| Category | Purpose and Description | Who Sets the Cookie | Necessity & Legal Basis |
|---|---|---|---|
| A. Strictly Necessary (First-Party) | These are essential for the Website to function properly, enabling navigation, security, and remembering basic settings (e.g., if you are logged into a resource or your preferred language). | Resourcera | Mandatory (No consent required by law) |
| B. Internal Performance (First-Party) | We use these to internally measure the performance of our content (e.g., which statistical blogs are most valuable). The data collected is aggregated and anonymized. | Resourcera | Legitimate Interest (To continuously improve our content) |
| C. Affiliate Tracking (Third-Party) | This category includes cookies placed by our business partners (e.g., Semrush) when you click on a tool comparison or recommendation link on Resourcera. The purpose is solely to track the referral from Resourcera to their site so we receive a commission if a purchase is made. | Our Partners (Third-Party) | Legitimate Interest (To monetize the service you are actively requesting – the referral) |
3. Our Transparency on Affiliate Tracking
We take our role as an affiliate marketer seriously, and we believe in clear, upfront disclosure.
- Affiliate Disclosure: You will find a prominent affiliate disclosure near any link that may result in a commission for us. This disclosure is required by the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) guidelines to maintain honesty with our readers.
- Affiliate Cookies: When you choose to click a partner link, the resulting cookie is placed by our partner’s domain (the website you visit, not Resourcera). This tracking is necessary for our partners to credit us for the referral, which funds our ability to produce all of the free content you rely on.
- Data Minimization: We only rely on this tracking for commercial attribution; we do not store or use this data to profile you, nor do we sell it.
4. Your Control Over Cookies
Because the cookies we use are either strictly necessary or tied to the legitimate interests of providing you with our content and funding its creation, we rely on the control options provided by your web browser:
- Browser Management: You have the power to manage or delete any cookies through the settings of your web browser (Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Safari, etc.). You can choose to accept, refuse, or clear cookies globally at any time.
- Impact of Blocking: Please note that blocking Strictly Necessary cookies will likely cause essential parts of Resourcera to fail. Blocking Affiliate Tracking cookies will not affect your access to our content, but it may prevent us from receiving credit for referring you to a valuable tool, which impacts the funding of our site. This commitment to our funding is underpinned by our dedication to quality: we only recommend tools and resources that we use ourselves and genuinely believe will benefit our users.
