At The Surest Way Guides, we understand that most creators do not come here just to browse. They come to build, grow, and earn. This Cookies Policy explains how cookies and similar technologies help keep the platform secure, reliable, and easier to use. Under UK rules, cookies and similar technologies are regulated by PECR, and any use involving personal data also needs to meet UK GDPR standards.
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. Similar technologies can also include pixels, scripts, tags, web storage, and other tools that store or access information on your device. ICO guidance makes clear that the rules do not apply only to traditional cookies, but also to other storage and access technologies.
Creators lose momentum in small but important ways. A session expires, preferences reset, a login breaks, a setup flow is interrupted, or a page does not remember where someone stopped. Cookies help reduce those disruptions by keeping essential parts of the platform working smoothly and securely. Where cookies are strictly necessary to provide a service requested by the user, consent is not always required; other cookies usually do require valid consent.
We use cookies and similar technologies to support the operation of The Surest Way Guides, improve the user experience, strengthen security, and, where enabled, measure what is working on the platform. Where a cookie is not strictly necessary, we aim to ask for consent before placing it, and that consent must be clear, informed, and given through a positive action.
Essential cookies help the platform function properly. They may keep you signed in, protect your session, support account security, prevent fraud, maintain basic site functions, and make sure that important creator actions do not break unexpectedly. ICO guidance recognises that some technologies can be used without consent where they are strictly necessary for the service requested by the user.
Functional cookies help remember choices you make so the platform feels more consistent and useful. This can include language preferences, interface settings, saved options, and other choices that make it easier to continue your creator journey without starting over each time. If a functional cookie is not strictly necessary, consent may still be required before it is set.
Analytics cookies help us understand which pages, tools, and creator guides are most useful, so we can improve the platform and focus on what delivers real results. Under ICO guidance, analytics cookies are generally not treated as strictly necessary, so they normally require consent before use.
Where enabled, these cookies help measure which campaigns, landing pages, or promotional efforts lead to signups, support, or other meaningful actions. They are used to understand what converts so creators and the platform can make better decisions. These cookies are not generally essential, so they should normally be off until a user gives valid consent.
You can choose whether to accept non-essential cookies where cookie settings or consent tools are available. You can also manage cookies through your browser settings. ICO guidance says consent must be freely given, specific, informed, and based on clear positive action, and users should be able to withdraw consent as easily as they gave it.
Blocking some cookies may affect how smoothly the platform works. For example, login sessions, saved settings, certain preferences, or parts of the creator experience may not function as expected if essential or related technologies are disabled. ICO guidance also notes that only strictly necessary technologies are exempt from consent requirements.
Some cookies or similar technologies may be set by carefully selected third-party providers that help us run the platform, measure usage, process payments, improve security, or support communications and performance. Where those technologies are non-essential, we aim to use them only after the required consent has been given.
We are not here to watch people for the sake of watching them. We use cookies to support a stable, secure, and more effective platform experience. The purpose is to protect the path from attention to trust to earnings while giving users transparency and control over non-essential technologies. ICO guidance emphasises that information about cookies should be clear, comprehensive, and easy to understand.
We may update this Cookies Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the platform, our use of cookies, or legal and regulatory requirements. When we do, the updated version will be posted on this page with the revised policy date where appropriate.
