Cookie policy

Cookies are small text files that websites place on your device to remember preferences and to understand how their pages are used. We keep our use of cookies modest and focused on running the site.

The cookies we use

• Strictly necessary. A small cookie or local storage entry to remember your choice on the cookie banner so we don’t show it on every page.
• Performance and analytics. Anonymous, aggregated measurement of which pages and brands readers visit, used to plan editorial work.
• Affiliate attribution. When you click an outbound link, the destination operator may set its own cookies on its own domain to track that the visit originated from this site. Those cookies are governed by the operator’s own policy.

What we don’t use

We do not run third-party advertising networks on this site and we don’t use cookies to build behavioural advertising profiles about individual readers.

Managing your choice

When you first visit the site you can choose to accept or decline non-essential cookies. You can change your mind at any time by clearing the site data for this domain in your browser settings, which will cause the banner to reappear on your next visit.

All modern browsers let you block or delete cookies. The exact steps differ slightly between Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari, but the option is normally found under Privacy or Site Settings.

External sites

Once you click through to an operator or a regulator, you leave this website. Those sites are run by other organisations and have their own cookie and privacy policies, which apply instead of ours.
