Cookie Policy

Effective Date: May 7th, 2026

At The Truth About VA Loans, we believe in straight answers and no-BS transparency. Part of that commitment is explaining exactly how we use tracking technologies on our site. This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how we use them to improve your experience, and the choices you have regarding their use.

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, smartphone, or other device when you visit a website. They act as a digital memory for the website, allowing it to recognize your device, remember your preferences, and understand how you navigate the site. They are standard practice across the internet and do not harm your device.

How We Use Cookies

We use cookies to make our website function smoothly and to ensure we are delivering the most relevant, veteran-first home-buying intel to you. Specifically, cookies help us:

Ensure our website loads correctly and securely.
Understand which articles, myth-busting guides, and resources are most useful to our users.
Remember if you have already downloaded the VA Loan Blueprint so we don't keep asking you to do so.
Improve the overall speed and performance of the website.

Types of Cookies We Use

We utilize a few different categories of cookies to accomplish our mission:

Essential Cookies: These are strictly necessary for the website to function. Without them, basic actions like filling out our contact forms or navigating between pages wouldn't work properly. Because they are essential, you cannot opt out of these.
Performance and Analytics Cookies: These cookies collect anonymous information about how visitors use our site. They tell us which pages get the most traffic, how long users stay on a page, and if they encounter any error messages. We use this intel to fix bugs and create better content.
Functionality Cookies: These allow the website to remember choices you make (such as closing a pop-up window) to provide an easier, more personalized experience.
Targeting/Advertising Cookies: Occasionally, we may use these cookies to deliver content or advertisements that are relevant to your interests on other sites, or to track the effectiveness of our own marketing campaigns.

Your Choices and Control

You are in command of your browser. You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies. You can set or amend your web browser controls to accept or refuse cookies. If you choose to reject cookies, you may still use our website, though your access to some functionality and areas of our website may be restricted.

To learn how to manage cookies on your specific browser, please visit the help menu of your browser (e.g., Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Edge).

Updates to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our technology or legal requirements. When we do, we will update the "Effective Date" at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
