COOKIE POLICY
LAST UPDATED: 09.06.2026
This policy explains what cookies are, which ones we use, and how you can control them. It sits alongside our privacy notice, which covers how we handle information more broadly.
WHAT COOKIES ARE
A cookie is a small file a website stores on your device so it can recognise your browser and remember certain things. We also use related technologies, like local storage and small tracking pixels, that do similar jobs. We refer to all of them here as cookies.
THE COOKIES WE USE
We keep this simple, and we use cookies in three categories.
Essential cookies keep the site working. They handle basic things like security, fixing faults, and remembering settings such as whether you've already dismissed a banner. The site can't function properly without these, so they're always on.
Analytics cookies tell us how the site is used in aggregate, for example which articles are read most, so we can make it better. This is about patterns across all visitors, not tracking you as an individual.
Advertising cookies come from Google AdSense, which we use to run the ads that fund the site. Google and its partners use these cookies to measure ads and, in many cases, to show you ads based on your browsing across the web. These are set by Google under its own policies, not ours. You can see how Google uses data from sites that use its services at policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites, and adjust what ads you see at adssettings.google.com.
Essential and analytics cookies help us run the site and are used on the basis of our legitimate interest in keeping it working and understanding how it's read. Advertising cookies, and any other non-essential cookies, are only set where you've agreed to them, which on your first visit you do through the consent banner.
YOU'RE IN CONTROL
You're in control of cookies, in a few ways.
When you first arrive, our consent banner lets you accept or decline non-essential cookies, and you can change your choice at any time through the cookie settings link on the site.
Your browser also lets you block or delete cookies. Every major browser (Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Edge) has cookie controls in its settings or help section. Note that blocking essential cookies may stop parts of the site working, and that turning off advertising cookies doesn't remove ads, it just makes them less tailored to you.
You can opt out of interest-based advertising from many companies at once through the Digital Advertising Alliance of Canada at youradchoices.ca, or, if you're in the US or Europe, through optout.aboutads.info and youronlinechoices.eu.
OTHER WEBSITES AND EMBEDDED CONTENT
When we link to other sites, or embed content like a video, those third parties may set their own cookies under their own policies. We don't control them, so check their cookie and privacy policies if you're concerned.
CHANGES
We may update this policy as our setup changes. When we do, we'll update the date above.
