This Cookie Policy explains how YourBJJGuide.com uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit our website.
Cookies may be used to help the website function correctly, protect it from malicious activity, understand how visitors use our content, and track referrals to third-party websites through affiliate links.
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that websites can store on your computer, phone, tablet, or other device through your web browser.
Cookies can perform different functions. Some are necessary for websites to operate correctly, while others can be used for analytics, remembering preferences, security, or measuring referrals to other websites.
Cookies can be temporary and expire when you close your browser, or they can remain on your device for a specified period.
How We Use Cookies
YourBJJGuide.com and the services used to operate the website may use cookies or similar technologies for purposes including:
- Operating and maintaining the website
- Providing website functionality
- Protecting the website against malicious traffic and security threats
- Understanding how visitors use our articles and reviews
- Measuring website traffic and performance
- Improving navigation and the overall user experience
- Tracking referrals through affiliate links
Essential & Functional Cookies
WordPress and other components of YourBJJGuide.com may use cookies that are necessary for certain website features to function correctly.
These cookies may be used for purposes such as website administration, security, remembering certain preferences, or providing functionality requested by the visitor.
The exact cookies used can vary depending on the features currently enabled on the website.
Google Analytics
YourBJJGuide.com uses Google Analytics to help us understand how visitors use the website.
Google Analytics may use cookies or similar technologies to collect information about website usage, such as pages visited, traffic sources, device and browser information, approximate location, and interactions with the website.
We use this information to understand which articles and reviews are useful to our visitors, monitor website performance, and improve YourBJJGuide.com.
Information collected through Google Analytics may be processed by Google according to Google’s own privacy and data-processing practices.
Google Search Console
We also use Google Search Console to monitor the performance of YourBJJGuide.com in Google Search.
Google Search Console provides us with information about search visibility, search queries, indexing, and website performance. It is not primarily a cookie-based visitor tracking service in the same way as Google Analytics.
We mention it here for transparency because it is one of the Google services we use to operate and improve the website.
Security & Wordfence
YourBJJGuide.com uses Wordfence to help protect the website against malicious traffic, unauthorized access attempts, malware, and other security threats.
Wordfence may use cookies or process technical information where necessary to provide security features and distinguish legitimate visitors from potentially malicious traffic.
Security-related information may include IP addresses, browser information, requested URLs, and other technical data associated with visits to the website.
Affiliate Cookies
YourBJJGuide.com reviews BJJ instructionals and may link to retailers, instructional platforms, manufacturers, and other third-party websites through affiliate links.
When you click an affiliate link, the destination website or affiliate network may place a cookie on your device or use another tracking method to record that YourBJJGuide.com referred you.
If you later make a qualifying purchase, this tracking may allow the retailer or affiliate network to attribute the purchase to us and pay YourBJJGuide.com a commission.
Using an affiliate link does not normally increase the price you pay.
Affiliate cookies are controlled by the relevant third-party website or affiliate network rather than YourBJJGuide.com. Their duration and data practices therefore depend on the provider.
For more information about how affiliate relationships work on this website, please see our Affiliate Disclosure.
Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies or similar technologies encountered while using YourBJJGuide.com may be provided by third parties rather than directly by us.
This can include analytics providers, security services, affiliate networks, retailers, or other services linked to or used by the website.
Third-party providers are responsible for their own cookies and data-processing practices. We recommend reviewing the privacy and cookie policies of those services if you would like more information about how they process data.

You can generally configure your browser to:
- Block all cookies
- Block third-party cookies
- Delete existing cookies
- Ask for permission before accepting certain cookies

Please be aware that disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of YourBJJGuide.com or other websites you visit.
You can find instructions for managing cookies in the help or privacy section of your browser.
Cookie Consent
Where required by applicable law, visitors may be provided with options to accept, reject, or manage non-essential cookies through the cookie controls available on the website.
Your choices may be stored so that the website can remember your cookie preferences on future visits.
