What a cookie is

A cookie is a small text file a website asks your browser to store. Related technologies — local storage, pixels, web beacons and advertising identifiers — do much the same job. Where this policy says “cookies”, it means all of them.

The categories we use

Strictly necessary

Needed for the site to load and stay secure — routing requests, balancing load and blocking abuse. The site cannot work without these.

Preferences

Remember small choices so the site behaves consistently between visits.

Measurement

Tell us, in aggregate, which guides are read and where readers arrive from, so we know which pages to keep current. We use this to understand traffic patterns, not to build a profile of you by name.

Advertising

Set by our advertising partners, including Google, to select ads, cap how often you see the same one, and measure whether it worked. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites.

Third parties that set cookies here

Google AdSense (publisher ID ca-pub-6494987875503497) serves the advertising on this site. Google’s handling of that data is described in its privacy and terms for partner sites. Google may also work with additional ad-technology vendors, each with its own policy.

How to control cookies

Personalised ads: turn them off at Google Ads Settings, and across many vendors at aboutads.info or youronlinechoices.eu.
In your browser: every major browser can block or delete cookies in its privacy settings, and offers a private-browsing mode that discards them when you close the window.
On mobile: iOS and Android both let you reset or limit the advertising identifier in system settings.

Blocking cookies is your choice and you can still read every guide. Some preferences may not carry between visits, and you will still see ads — just less relevant ones.
