Cookies are small files a website stores in your browser. We also use browser storage, which works in a similar way. This policy explains what we use and why. Our cookie banner, provided by CookieYes, lets you accept or reject non-essential cookies.
01Your choices
When you first visit, you can accept all cookies, reject non-essential cookies or choose by category. You can change your choice at any time using cookie settings. You can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings, although parts of the site, such as the basket and your account, will not work without essential cookies.
02Strictly necessary
These make the site work and cannot be switched off in our banner. They include cookies that keep you logged in, remember what is in your basket and complete checkout (WordPress and WooCommerce), remember your cookie choices (CookieYes), and protect the site from attacks, bots and spam (Cloudflare, Wordfence and Google reCAPTCHA).
03Functional storage
Some features store preferences in your browser's local storage rather than a cookie. These include your place in a guide or article, text size and low-light reading settings, and articles you save for later. This information stays on your device and is not sent to us.
04Analytics
With your consent, we use Google Analytics, loaded through Google Tag Manager, to understand how people find and use the site: for example which guides are read and where visitors leave. We use this in aggregate to improve the site. These cookies are set only if you accept analytics cookies.
05Third-party content
Payment pages, embedded videos and some fonts are provided by third parties that may set their own cookies or receive your IP address when they load. Their use is covered by their own privacy and cookie policies.
06The current list
Cookie names and durations change when providers update their services. The cookie settings panel always shows the current list of cookies by category, with their purpose and how long they last.
07More information
For how we handle personal information more generally, see our privacy policy. For questions, use our contact page.
