Cookie Policy

Last updated: 7/27/2026

1. Introduction

This Cookie Policy explains how Future State Found LLC ("Company," "we," "us," "FSF" or "our"), uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on our website at futurestatefound.com (the "Site"). Future State Found LLC is a Wyoming limited liability company and a wholly owned subsidiary of Ruby Sky LLC.

In this Cookie Policy, "Services" refers collectively to all products, digital content, training courses, assessments, live workshops, advisory engagements, and other offerings we make available through our Site or in connection with our business.

This Cookie Policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy, which explains how we collect, use, and protect your personal information.

By continuing to use our Site, or by accepting cookies through our cookie consent banner, you consent to the use of cookies as described in this policy, except where your consent is not required for strictly necessary cookies. If your browser sends a Global Privacy Control signal, we automatically apply reject-all preferences without requiring any action from you - see Section 5.4.

Our Site and Services are intended for users located in the United States. We do not direct our Site to users in the European Union, the United Kingdom, or other jurisdictions outside the United States.

2. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, to improve their functionality, and to provide reporting information to website operators.

Cookies may be "session cookies," which are deleted when you close your browser, or "persistent cookies," which remain on your device until they expire or are deleted. Cookies may also be "first-party cookies," set by us, or "third-party cookies," set by parties other than us that provide services to us or to you.

Similar technologies, including web beacons, pixels, and local storage, may also be used. References to "cookies" in this policy include these similar technologies.

3. How We Use Cookies

Our cookie consent banner offers four categories of cookies. Necessary cookies are always enabled because they are essential to the operation of our Site. The three optional categories, Functional, Analytics, and Marketing, can be individually accepted or rejected through the banner.

3.1 Necessary Cookies (Strictly Necessary) These cookies are essential for the Site to function and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually set in response to actions made by you, such as logging in, filling out forms, setting privacy preferences, or making a purchase. You can set your browser to block these cookies, but some parts of the Site will not function as a result. These cookies do not require your consent.

Our cookie consent mechanism itself stores your preferences in a first-party cookie named DPSettings for a period of 12 days. After 12 days, our banner will reappear so you can reconfirm your preferences. This cookie is strictly necessary because it is the mechanism by which we honor your privacy choices.

3.2 Functional Cookies These cookies enable the Site to provide enhanced functionality and personalization, such as remembering your preferences, choices you have made, and information you have entered so you do not have to re-enter it on future visits. If you do not allow these cookies, some or all of these enhanced services may not function properly.

3.3 Analytics Cookies These cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our Site. They help us understand which pages are most and least popular, how visitors move around the Site, and how effective our course content is. Information collected through analytics cookies is aggregated and used to improve how our Site works.

3.4 Marketing Cookies These cookies may be set through our Site by us and by our advertising partners. They are used to deliver advertising relevant to you and your interests, to limit the number of times you see an advertisement, to measure the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns, and to build audiences for retargeting on other platforms. They do not directly store personal information but are based on uniquely identifying your browser and device. Personal information you provide in forms on our Site may also be transmitted in cryptographically hashed (scrambled and non-reversible) form to advertising partners for match-rate improvement - see Section 4 for details.

4. Third-Party Cookies and Services

We use a number of third-party services that may set cookies on your device. These load only when you have consented to the applicable cookie category and are subject to any Global Privacy Control signal your browser may send (see Section 5.4). Third-party services include, but are not limited to:

Learning and Course Platform
  • LearnWorlds — our learning management platform, which sets cookies necessary for account login, course access, purchases, and platform functionality.


Forms and Assessments

  • JotForm (or successor form provider) — used to deliver our ATLAS-TSI™ quizzes and assessments. JotForm may set cookies necessary for form functionality and may collect information you submit through these forms. Please refer to JotForm's privacy and cookie policies for details on their practices. 
  • Make.com - Used for workflow automation to deliver the quiz or assessment results to you and score your outcomes.


Analytics

  • Google Analytics 4 — used to understand how visitors use our Site. Google Analytics sets cookies to collect aggregated, anonymized usage data. IP addresses are anonymized before storage, and no precise geolocation is collected. You can learn more about Google's practices at policies.google.com/privacy and opt out via tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
  • Google Tag Manager — used to manage which tracking scripts load on our Site. Google Tag Manager itself does not set cookies for tracking purposes but is the mechanism through which other tracking technologies (including our Meta Pixel) are managed.


Advertising and Retargeting
    Meta (Facebook/Instagram) Pixel — used to measure the effectiveness of our advertising, build audiences for ad campaigns, and show relevant ads to people who have visited our Site. When you have accepted marketing cookies, the Meta Pixel:
  • Transmits data about your visit (pages viewed, actions taken such as completing our quiz) to Meta Platforms, Inc.
  • Uses Meta's Automatic Advanced Matching feature, which transmits a cryptographically hashed (scrambled and non-reversible) version of personal information you enter in forms on our Site (such as email address, phone number, or name) to help Meta match your activity to your Meta account. The original personal information is not sent — only the hashed version.
  • May automatically transmit page and product information visible on the pages you view for advertising optimization purposes.

    For more detail, see our Privacy Policy, Section 5.5.

    Additional advertising platforms
    — we may from time to time use other advertising and retargeting services (such as Google Ads, LinkedIn Insight Tag, or other social platforms). Where we do, the relevant tracking technologies will be disclosed and, where required, presented through our cookie consent mechanism. We will update this policy when we add new advertising tracking to our Site.


Email and Marketing Site Behavior

  • ActiveCampaign — Email Communications: ActiveCampaign is our email marketing and automation platform. It may set tracking pixels in emails to measure engagement with our communications (opens, clicks) and delivers your quiz and assessment results directly to you.
  • ActiveCampaign — Site Tracking: ActiveCampaign also provides a site-tracking script that associates your website behavior with your contact record in ActiveCampaign, which helps us personalize communications and understand which topics interest our audience. This site tracking only activates for visitors who have accepted marketing cookies and whose browsers are not sending a Global Privacy Control signal.


Affiliate Program

  • Affiliate tracking cookies — when you arrive at our Site through an affiliate partner's referral link, a cookie is placed to attribute any resulting purchase to that affiliate. This affiliate tracking cookie has a duration of 60 days.


Book Sales

The book, Future State Found, Why Most Transformations Fail and the 6-Step System for Navigating What's Next, by Mark R Cooley,  is published and sold by Manifest Next Media LLC. When the book is offered for sale through our Site, we do so under rights granted to us by Manifest Next Media LLC. Cookies related to book sales through our Site are subject to the same categories and consent controls described in this policy. Book purchases through third-party retailers (such as Amazon) are governed by the privacy and cookie policies of those retailers.


We do not control the cookies set by these third parties. We encourage you to review the privacy and cookie policies of each third-party service for more information about their practices.

5. Cookie Consent and Managing Your Preferences

5.1 Consent Banner 

When you first visit our Site, you will be presented with a cookie consent banner that allows you to accept all cookies ("Got it!"), reject all non-essential cookies ("Reject all"), or open the "accept individual cookies" panel to individually accept or reject the Functional, Analytics, and Marketing categories. Necessary cookies are always enabled and cannot be turned off through the banner because they are essential for the Site to function.


Your preferences are stored in a first-party cookie for 12 days, after which our banner will reappear so you can reconfirm your choice. You can change your preferences at any time through our cookie settings link available on our Site.


5.2 Browser ControlsMost web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can typically set your browser to block or alert you about cookies, to delete existing cookies, or to allow cookies only from certain sites. Please note that blocking strictly necessary cookies may prevent parts of our Site from functioning properly.

For information on managing cookies in common browsers:
• Google Chrome: support.google.com/chrome
• Mozilla Firefox: support.mozilla.org
• Safari: support.apple.com
• Microsoft Edge: support.microsoft.com


5.3 Opting Out of Advertising Cookies
You can opt out of interest-based advertising from participating companies through:
  • Digital Advertising Alliance: optout.aboutads.info
  • Network Advertising Initiative: optout.networkadvertising.org


5.4 Global Privacy Control (GPC)

If your browser sends a Global Privacy Control signal, we automatically apply reject-all preferences to your cookie consent — the same as if you had clicked "Reject all" on our banner. This prevents the loading of functional, analytics, and marketing cookies for the duration of your visit; only strictly necessary cookies continue to load. You do not need to take any additional action; the signal is honored automatically and for all visitors, regardless of state of residence.


To learn more about Global Privacy Control or to enable it in your browser, visit https://globalprivacycontrol.org.


5.5 Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information

In addition to the cookie consent banner and GPC, we provide a "Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information" link in our website footer. Clicking that link opens a form where you can submit your request; we receive a notification of each request, review it, and apply the opt-out to our systems. To ensure your preference takes effect immediately in your browser session, you should also reject non-essential cookies through our cookie banner or enable GPC in your browser. See our Privacy Policy, Section 9.3, for additional detail on how this mechanism works.

6. Do Not Track

Some browsers offer a legacy "Do Not Track" (DNT) signal. Because there is not yet a common industry or legal standard for recognizing and responding to DNT signals, our Site does not respond to DNT. However, we do honor the Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal, which is the modern successor to DNT and is legally recognized in California and other jurisdictions — see Section 5.4 for details. We will update this policy if industry standards for DNT change.


7. Changes to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, law, or our business practices, including as we add new advertising tracking or other cookies to our Site. When we make material changes, we will update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this policy and, where appropriate, provide additional notice. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
