1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device — computer, tablet or smartphone — when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently and to provide information to site owners about how readers interact with their content.
Cookies may be first-party (set directly by musclerecoveryelite.info) or third-party (set by external services we use to improve our editorial platform). They can also be:
- Session cookies — temporary cookies that expire as soon as you close your browser.
- Persistent cookies — cookies that remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them manually.
2. Types of Cookies We Use
Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are essential for our editorial platform to function correctly. They enable core features such as page navigation, security, and accessibility. Without these cookies, parts of the site cannot operate. They do not collect personally identifiable information and cannot be disabled.
Performance & Analytics Cookies
These cookies allow us to understand how readers discover and interact with our articles. They collect aggregated, anonymised data about which editorial pieces are most popular, how long readers spend on pages, and which topics generate the most interest. This information helps our editorial team create more relevant, high-quality content.
Functional Cookies
Functional cookies remember your preferences to enhance your reading experience on our platform. For example, they may recall your language setting or your preferred text display options so that you do not have to re-enter these preferences each time you visit our content.
Third-Party Cookies
Some pages on our editorial platform may embed or link to third-party content (such as social sharing widgets or embedded media). These third parties may set their own cookies. We do not control these cookies and recommend reviewing the privacy and cookie policies of those third parties directly.
