Cookie Policy

Template notice: this page is standard template wording provided as a starting point. It has not been drafted or reviewed by a solicitor. The site owner should have it reviewed by a suitably qualified professional, and tailored to how the site actually operates, before launch.

What cookies are

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. Similar technologies include local storage, pixels and device identifiers. They are used to make sites work, to remember your choices and to measure and personalise advertising.

The cookies we use

Strictly necessary: needed to serve pages and to remember your cookie choice. These are stored on your device without consent because the site cannot work without them. Our consent choice is stored in your browser's local storage.
Analytics: help us understand which guides are read and where people get stuck, in aggregate. Set only if you accept non-essential cookies.
Advertising: set by third-party advertising partners, which may include Google AdSense and its partners, to measure ad performance and personalise the adverts you see. Set only if you accept non-essential cookies.
Affiliate tracking: set by affiliate partners when you click through to them, so a referral can be attributed to this site.

Your choices

When you first visit, a banner lets you accept all cookies or keep only the essentials. You can change your mind at any time by clearing this site's data in your browser, which will make the banner appear again. You can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings, though some parts of the site may then work less well.

Advertising controls

Where personalised advertising is used, you can usually adjust or opt out of personalisation directly with the advertising provider — for example through Google's Ads Settings — as well as through the choice you make on this site.
