Follower®

The original creator platform helper — since 2020

    Cookie policy

    Updated October 5, 2026

    Overview

    follower.co stores a few preferences in your browser. Google Analytics cookies are added only if you choose Accept. They use measurement IDs GT-K5LQ5P5 and G-06F03N225P. Calculators and checklists work without that choice. Optional tool saves stay off until you turn on Save on this device.

    If basic traffic measurement is on, and you have not objected or rejected analytics cookies, a Cloudflare Web Analytics script may count page views and visits. Cloudflare’s published description of that product says it does not use cookies or browser storage for the count, and does not fingerprint people in order to display the analytics. The script still runs on your device, so it is listed here. Cloudflare’s documentation says URL query strings are not included in that count.

    Preferences and tool saves stay on your device. They are not sent to Follower. Google Analytics cookies are set by Google after you Accept, and Google receives the visit data.

    The contact form does not set analytics cookies or add you to a newsletter. If it sends your message, the message goes to Follower by email. If it cannot send the message, it asks you to email hey@follower.co.

    What we store

    Name Type Purpose How long How you control it
    follower-analytics-consent Stored in this browser only Remember Accept or Reject for Google Analytics Until you change it or clear this site’s data Banner, or Change analytics cookie choice in the footer
    follower-basic-measurement Stored in this browser only Remember if you objected to Cloudflare’s aggregate traffic count Until you change it or clear this site’s data Object to basic traffic measurement or Allow basic traffic measurement in the footer. Rejecting Google Analytics also stops the Cloudflare script in this browser.
    _ga and _ga_* (for example _ga_06F03N225P) Cookies set after Accept Measure visits. The data goes to Google. In testing, about 400 days (13 months) after the cookie is set, unless you clear it sooner. That expiry has not been measured on the live site. It is not how long Google keeps Analytics data. Accept, Reject, or Change choice, or clear this site’s cookies
    follower-color-mode Stored in this browser only Day or night display Until you change it or clear this site’s data Theme control
    follower.underwearListingCalc.v1 Stored in this browser only Optional saved calculator numbers Only while Save on this device is on, until you clear it Save checkbox, Clear saved data, or Reset
    follower.underwearListingTemplate.v1 Stored in this browser only Optional saved listing draft Only while Save on this device is on, until you clear it Save checkbox, Clear saved data, or Reset
    follower.underwearReadiness.v1 Stored in this browser only Optional saved checklist ticks Only while Save on this device is on, until you clear it Save checkbox or Clear saved data

    Google’s analytics script loads only after you Accept. Reject, or a later withdrawal, stops further Google Analytics in this browser and clears the analytics cookies the browser will allow us to remove. Withdrawal does not delete data already sent to Google.

    How long a cookie stays in your browser is separate from how long Google keeps Analytics data. On September 18, 2026, property G-06F03N225P was set to keep event-level data for 2 months and user-level data for 14 months, with user data reset when there is new activity. Those settings have not been checked again since that date. Standard reports and totals can remain available for longer. Details are in the Privacy policy.

    How to change your mind

    • Choose Accept or Reject on the Google Analytics banner
    • After you have chosen, use Change analytics cookie choice in the footer
    • Use Object to basic traffic measurement, or allow it again, in the footer for Cloudflare’s aggregate counts
    • Use Save on this device or Clear saved data on tools that offer them
    • Clear cookies and site data for follower.co in your browser if you want a full local reset
