This page explains exactly what we store on your device when you use this website, why we store it, and how you can control it.
With your consent, we use the Meta (Facebook) Pixel to measure how well our ads work and to show relevant ads. It only loads if you accept cookies, and you can decline without losing access to any part of the site. We do not sell your data. Everything else listed below is either required for the site to work or is stored only in your own browser.
1. What we store
Essential — required for the site to work
These are set when you sign in or pay. Under UK law (the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations, Regulation 6), cookies that are strictly necessary to provide a service you have asked for do not require your consent. Without them you could not sign in or subscribe.
| Set by | Purpose | Type |
|---|---|---|
| Memberstack | Keeps you signed in to the members area and controls access to paid content. | Cookie |
| Stripe | Processes your payment securely and helps detect fraudulent transactions. | Cookie |
Functional — stored only in your browser
These are saved in your browser's local storage on your own device. They are never transmitted to us and never leave your computer, except where noted.
| Name | Purpose | Kept |
|---|---|---|
ae_profile | Your agency name, your name, town and Instagram handle, so captions fill in automatically. | Until you clear it |
ae_uid / ae_ukey | An anonymous identifier so the community can show you your own posts and let you delete them. Not linked to your name or email. | Until you clear it |
ae_avatar | Your profile photo, if you choose to add one. | Until you remove it |
ae_joined | The date you first opened the members area, used to show your progress. | Until you clear it |
Community content
If you post in the community, the words you write, the name shown on your profile, and your photo if you have added one, are stored on our database so other members can see them. You can delete anything you have posted at any time from the community page.
2. Advertising & measurement (Meta Pixel)
With your consent, we use the Meta Pixel (provided by Meta Platforms, Inc.). It sets cookies that let us measure how many people who click our Facebook and Instagram ads go on to start a trial, and lets us show our ads to relevant people. It loads only after you choose “Accept” on the cookie bar, and never before.
If you decline, the Pixel does not load and none of this measurement happens. You can change your mind at any time by clearing your choice (see section 3), and you can opt out of personalised ads in your Meta ad settings. Declining never affects your access to any part of the site.
3. How to control what is stored
You can clear everything stored by this site at any time through your browser settings, usually under Privacy, then Cookies and site data. Clearing it will sign you out and reset your saved details, but will not affect your membership or your billing.
Your browser also lets you block cookies entirely. If you do, the members area will not be able to keep you signed in.
