Cookie Policy
This Cookie Policy explains how Metaphor Guide (accessible at quikf.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.
By continuing to browse quikf.com, you agree to our use of cookies as described in this policy. If you do not agree, you can adjust your browser settings or stop using the 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, so you do not have to re-enter them each time you return.
Cookies can be “first-party” (set by the website you are visiting) or “third-party” (set by another domain, such as an analytics service or advertising partner). They can also be “session” cookies (which expire when you close your browser) or “persistent” cookies (which remain for a set period).
How We Use Cookies
We use cookies for several purposes, all aimed at improving your experience on Metaphor Guide and helping us understand how the site is used. 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, such as accessing secure areas or remembering your preferences (like language or region). Without these cookies, some parts of the site may not work properly.
Examples of functional cookies we may use include those that remember your cookie consent choice or keep you logged in if you create an account in the future.
Analytics Cookies
Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with Metaphor Guide. They collect information such as which pages are visited most often, how long users stay on a page, and whether they encounter error messages. This data is aggregated and anonymous—it does not identify you personally.
We use this information to improve our content, fix issues, and make the site more useful for English learners. For example, we may see that many readers visit our Descriptive Language Guides and adjust the layout to make those pages easier to find.
Advertising Cookies
We may use advertising cookies to show you ads that are more relevant to your interests. These cookies track your browsing habits across different websites, building a profile of your interests. This helps us and our advertising partners deliver ads that are more likely to be useful to you.
Advertising cookies may support the following activities:
- Frequency capping: Limiting how many times you see the same ad.
- Ad measurement: Tracking the effectiveness of ad campaigns.
- Fraud prevention: Detecting and preventing invalid clicks or impressions.
- Relevant ads: Showing ads based on your interests, such as English learning tools or writing resources.
These cookies are typically third-party cookies set by our advertising partners. You can opt out of interest-based advertising through your browser settings or by visiting industry opt-out pages.
Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies on our site are placed by third-party services. These may include analytics providers (like Google Analytics) and advertising networks. These third parties may use cookies to collect information about your online activities over time and across different websites.
We do not control these cookies directly. You should check the privacy policies of these third parties for more information about how they use your data.
Web Beacons and Pixel Tags
In addition to cookies, we may use web beacons (also known as pixel tags or clear GIFs) on our site or in our emails. These are tiny, invisible images that help us track user engagement. For example, a web beacon in an email can tell us if you opened the message or clicked a link.
Web beacons often work alongside cookies. They help us measure the performance of our content and marketing efforts. You can disable web beacons by turning off images in your email client or by using browser extensions that block tracking.
Your Choices and Browser Controls
You have control over cookies. Most web browsers allow you to manage cookies through their settings. You can typically:
- Block all cookies.
- Accept all cookies.
- Delete cookies when you close your browser.
- Set preferences for specific websites.
To adjust your browser settings, check the “Help” or “Preferences” menu in your browser. Please note that disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of Metaphor Guide. For example, you may not be able to use some features, or the site may not remember your preferences.
You can also opt out of third-party advertising cookies by visiting the Network Advertising Initiative opt-out page or the Digital Advertising Alliance opt-out page. These tools let you manage your preferences across multiple ad networks.
