Cookie policy
What is stored on your device, by whom, and how to switch it off.
What cookies are
A cookie is a small text file placed on your device by a website. Similar technologies include local storage, pixels and device identifiers. They are used to remember preferences, measure traffic and, in the case of advertising, to select which adverts you see.
Cookies this site sets itself
None. The Site is a set of static pages with no login and no shopping basket, and it sets no cookies and writes no local storage values of its own. Everything described below is set by Google.
Cookies set by third parties
Google AdSense
Advertising keeps this site free. Google and its partners may set cookies and similar identifiers to:
- serve advertising, including personalised advertising where you have consented;
- limit how many times you see the same advert;
- measure whether adverts were viewed and whether they worked;
- detect and prevent advertising fraud and abuse.
Common identifiers in this category include Google's DoubleClick cookie and the __gads and __gpi cookies. Their lifetimes and precise purposes are set by Google, not by us, and are described in Google's policy for partner sites.
Fonts
Typefaces are served from this site's own domain, not from Google Fonts or any other font service. Loading a page therefore makes no request to a third-party font server and discloses your IP address to no one but our host and, if advertising is shown, Google.
Consent
If you are in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom or Switzerland, a consent message is shown before advertising cookies that require consent are used. It is provided by Google's certified consent management platform. You can accept, refuse or change your preferences at any time by reopening that message. If you refuse, you will still see advertising, but it will be non-personalised - that is, based on the page you are reading rather than on a profile.
How to control cookies
- In your browser - every major browser lets you block or delete cookies, and offers a private browsing mode. Blocking all cookies may break parts of other websites, though it will not break this one.
- Ad personalisation - Google Ad Settings.
- Industry opt-outs - Your Online Choices (Europe) and the DAA opt-out (United States).
- Our own storage value - clear your browser's site data for this domain and it is gone.
Changes
If we add analytics or another third-party service, this page is updated before it goes live. The date at the top tells you when it last changed.
