1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website saves to your browser when you visit. They are widely used to make websites work properly, remember your preferences, and give website owners information about how visitors use their site.
Cookies are not programs and cannot carry viruses or install software on your device. You can control whether cookies are stored through your browser settings — see Section 4 for instructions.
2. How We Use Cookies
Essential Cookies
Some cookies are necessary for the Site to function correctly. These include cookies set by Cloudflare for security and bot detection purposes. These cookies do not track you for advertising and cannot be disabled without affecting site functionality.
Analytics Cookies
We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors find and use our Site. These cookies collect aggregate, anonymous information about page views, time on site, traffic sources, and user journeys. This helps us improve our content and user experience.
Google Analytics data is processed by Google LLC. You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
Third-party cookies
When you interact with embedded tools on our Site — such as the Calendly booking widget, ConvertKit email forms, or Teachable course pages — those services may set their own cookies on your device. These cookies are governed by the respective provider's privacy and cookie policies, not ours. See Section 3 for a full list of known cookies.

Instructions for the most common browsers:

5. Cloudflare Web Analytics
In addition to Google Analytics, we use Cloudflare Web Analytics to measure site traffic and performance. Cloudflare Web Analytics is designed with privacy in mind:
- It does not use cookies
- It does not track individuals across sites
- It does not fingerprint or profile visitors
- Data is aggregated and anonymous
Because Cloudflare Web Analytics sets no cookies, it is not listed in the cookie table above. You can read more in Cloudflare's Web Analytics documentation.
6. Visitors from the EU, UK, and Switzerland
Make It Compound is operated from the United States and our marketing site is primarily intended for U.S. visitors. If you access the Site from the EU, UK, Switzerland, or another jurisdiction that requires prior consent for non-essential cookies (for example, ePrivacy Directive countries), the analytics and embedded-vendor cookies described in the table above are not set until you choose to interact with the corresponding tool (e.g., load the Calendly widget, submit a ConvertKit form). You may control or block any cookie using the browser instructions in Section 4. If you have a specific request to confirm or remove cookies set by your visit, email hello@makeitcompound.com.
7. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time as our use of cookies or applicable regulations change. When we do, we will revise the “Last updated” date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this page periodically to stay informed.
