Some are needed for the site to function. Some help us see which posts readers actually like. A few let affiliate partners credit purchases when you buy a tool we recommended. You can switch the optional ones off any time — see manage cookies below.

Manage cookies
Click “Reject optional” in the banner that appears on your first visit, or reset your choice by clearing site data in your browser.
Every modern browser lets you block third-party cookies globally. Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge all have this setting under privacy.
Install the Google Analytics Opt-Out add-on to block GA across every site you visit, not just this one.
Heads up: turning off analytics doesn’t break the site. Turning off essential cookies might — the cookie banner itself relies on one to remember your preference.
Email hello@runitonautopilot.com and we’ll walk you through exactly what’s set and why.
