Cookie policy
Effective 17 October 2026
Cookies are small files a website stores in your browser. This page lists every cookie thegrowthfolks.com uses. You can change your choice any time: .
How consent works here
- EEA, UK and Switzerland: analytics and marketing cookies stay off until you choose “Accept all” or switch them on in cookie settings. “Reject all” is always one click.
- Everywhere else: analytics cookies are on by default, and you can switch them off in cookie settings.
- Your choice is passed to Google Consent Mode, so every tag on the site follows it. When analytics is off, no analytics cookies are set and existing ones are removed; Google may still receive basic, cookieless signals (such as that a page was viewed), without anything that identifies you or your browser.
Necessary cookies
Needed for sign-in, security and remembering your choice. They are always on and are never used for analytics or advertising.
| Cookie | Purpose | Duration | Set by |
|---|---|---|---|
tgf_session | Keeps you signed in (a signed token; JavaScript cannot read it). | 30 days | The Growth Folks® |
tgf_auth | Contains only “1”, so pages know to load your account. | 30 days | The Growth Folks® |
tgf_consent | Remembers your cookie choice. | 6 months | The Growth Folks® |
tgf_oauth | Protects “Continue with Google” against forged sign-in replies (only sent to our Google sign-in route). | 10 minutes | The Growth Folks® |
tgf_evt | Passes “signed up / signed in with Google” to the page after the Google redirect, then deletes itself. | 2 minutes | The Growth Folks® |
__cf_bm, cf_clearance | May be set by Cloudflare, our hosting provider, when it checks a visit for bots or abuse. | 30 minutes to 1 year | Cloudflare |
Analytics cookies
Google Analytics (loaded through Google Tag Manager) tells us which pages are visited and which features are used, so we can improve them. We never send your name or email address to Google.
| Cookie | Purpose | Duration | Set by |
|---|---|---|---|
_ga | Distinguishes visitors, so we can count unique visits. | 2 years | Google Analytics |
_ga_<ID> | Keeps the state of your visit (session) for Google Analytics. | 2 years | Google Analytics |
Marketing cookies
We don’t use any marketing or advertising cookies today. If we add advertising pixels (for example LinkedIn, Meta or Google Ads), they will be listed here before they go live, and they will only load if you have allowed marketing cookies.
Browser storage that is not a cookie
Without an account, your lesson progress is kept in your browser’s local storage and never sent to us. Some of our free tools also keep their settings there. The cookie banner also remembers, for the current browser session only, whether your region needs opt-in consent. Clearing your browser data removes all of this.
