5. Cookies & Affiliate Tracking

Our website uses essential cookies required for the site to function (including a session cookie for the member portal and a 30-day referral-attribution cookie when you arrive via a member's share link). We may also use analytics cookies (such as those set by Vercel Analytics) to understand how visitors use our site.

Affiliate cookies set by third parties: When you click an outbound link to a partner we have an affiliate relationship with — including Amazon Associates UK, software providers (SellerAmp, Sellerboard, Profit Protector Pro, Sagemailer), business-banking partners (Tide, American Express), and cashback platforms (TopCashback, Quidco, Honey, Pouch) — that partner may set a cookie on your browser to attribute any subsequent purchase or sign-up back to The Inner Circle FBA. We do not set or have access to these cookies; they are governed by each partner's own privacy policy. See our affiliate disclosure for full details.

You can control cookies through your browser settings. Note that disabling cookies may affect site functionality.
