Cookies are small text files a site stores in your browser. They make the site work, remember your preferences, and let us understand which articles readers find useful. Here is exactly what we use them for.
01 — BasicsWhat is a cookie?
A cookie is a small piece of text (typically less than 4KB) stored by your browser when you visit a website. It can contain a session ID, a preference, or a tracking identifier. The browser sends matching cookies back on each request to the same site.
Cookies are first-party when the storing site is the one you are visiting, and third-party when another domain stores them via embedded content. tuto.digital uses mostly first-party cookies and a small number of third-party ones (listed below).
02 — CategoriesThe three categories we use
Essential cookies (always on)
These cookies make the site work. They store your session, remember your language and theme preference, and protect against CSRF attacks. The site cannot function without them, so there is no opt-out — but they do not track you across sites.
Analytics cookies (opt-in, off by default)
Google Analytics 4 helps us understand which articles readers find useful, where they enter the site, and which CTAs convert. IP addresses are anonymized. We do not share this data with anyone.
Affiliate cookies (opt-in, off by default)
When you click an outbound link to a merchant, an affiliate cookie is set so the merchant credits us with the sale if you purchase. You pay the same price either way. See Affiliate Disclosure for details.

04 — ControlHow to opt out
From this site
Use the cookie consent banner that appears on first visit. To change your choice later, click "Cookie preferences" in the footer.
In your browser
You can block or delete cookies in any modern browser. Step-by-step guides:
Blocking all cookies will break parts of the site (sign-in, language preference). Use the on-site banner if you want a more granular choice.
05 — DNTDo Not Track & Global Privacy Control
We honor browser Do Not Track (DNT) and Global Privacy Control (GPC) signals. If your browser sends either, we treat it as a refusal of analytics and affiliate cookies — no banner interaction needed.
Most browsers have deprecated DNT in favor of GPC. We support both.
