Last updated: August 6, 2026
Disclaimer: DraftGround is not a law firm and this page is provided for general informational purposes only. It is not legal advice. If you need legal certainty about your own use of cookies or data processing, consult a qualified attorney. See also our Disclaimer.
1. Introduction
This Cookie Policy explains how DraftGround (“we,” “us,” or “our”) uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on draftground.com (the “Site”). It should be read together with our Privacy Policy and Terms of Use. By continuing to use the Site after setting your preferences in our cookie consent banner, you agree to the use of cookies as described here.
2. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow a site to recognize your device, remember your preferences, and collect information about how the site is used. Similar technologies include local storage, pixels, tags, and SDKs, which we refer to collectively as “cookies” in this policy.
3. How We Use Cookies
We use cookies for the following purposes:
- Strictly necessary cookies — required for the Site to function (e.g., security, load balancing, remembering your cookie consent choices).
- Preference cookies — remember settings such as language or display preferences.
- Analytics cookies — help us understand how visitors use the Site (e.g., pages visited, time spent, traffic sources) so we can improve our content and templates.
- Advertising / performance cookies — used by us and our advertising partners, including Google, to deliver ads, measure ad performance, limit how often you see an ad, and, where permitted, personalize the ads shown to you.
4. Cookie Consent Management
We use a certified consent management platform (Complianz) to obtain and record your consent before non-essential cookies are placed on your device, in line with Google’s EU User Consent Policy, the GDPR, and the ePrivacy Directive. When you first visit the Site, you will see a cookie banner where you can accept, reject, or customize cookie categories. You can change your preferences at any time using the “Cookie Settings” / “Change consent” link in our footer.
5. Google AdSense & Advertising Cookies
DraftGround uses Google AdSense to display advertising on the Site. As part of this, Google and its partners may use cookies (including the DoubleClick cookie) and similar technologies to:
- Serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites;
- Measure ad performance and prevent the same ad from being shown to you too many times (frequency capping);
- Detect and prevent fraud and abuse; and
- Where you have provided consent, personalize the ads you see.
Google may share limited information with third-party advertising partners for these purposes. You can review and adjust how Google uses this data for ad personalization at Google Ads Settings, and learn more about how Google uses data from partner sites at How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services.
6. Third-Party Cookies & Opt-Out
In addition to Google, other advertising and analytics vendors may set cookies through the Site. You can manage or opt out of interest-based advertising from many providers through the following industry tools:
- Google Ads Settings
- Digital Advertising Alliance – aboutads.info (US visitors)
- Your Online Choices (EEA/UK visitors)
- Network Advertising Initiative
Opting out through these tools does not mean you will see no ads — it means the ads you see will no longer be personalized based on your browsing activity.
7. Managing Cookies in Your Browser
Most browsers let you block or delete cookies through their settings. Please note that blocking essential cookies may affect the functionality of the Site. You can find instructions for common browsers here:
8. Your Rights (GDPR, UK GDPR, CCPA/CPRA)
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or restrict the use of your personal data, and to withdraw cookie consent at any time. For details on how we handle personal data and how to exercise these rights, please see our Privacy Policy.
9. Changes to This Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, law, or our advertising partners’ requirements. The “Last updated” date at the top of this page indicates when it was last revised. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
