1. What cookies are
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. Similar technologies, such as local storage, work in comparable ways. They allow a site to remember your actions and preferences over time, so you do not have to re-enter them on every visit. Cookies can be "session" cookies, which expire when you close your browser, or "persistent" cookies, which remain until they expire or you remove them.
2. Why we use them
We keep our use of cookies deliberately limited. We use them to make the site function correctly, to remember your privacy preferences, and — only with your permission — to understand in aggregate how the guides are read so we can improve them. We do not use cookies to build advertising profiles about you.
3. Cookie categories
Our cookie banner groups cookies into three categories. Strictly necessary cookies are always active because the site cannot function without them. Analytics and marketing cookies are optional and switched off until you choose to enable them. You can accept all, reject the optional ones, or fine-tune each category individually.
4. Strictly necessary cookies
These cookies are essential for core functionality, including security and remembering the cookie choices you make. Because they are required for the website to operate, they do not need consent and cannot be disabled through our banner. They do not store information used for marketing.
5. Analytics cookies
With your consent, analytics cookies help us measure how visitors use the site in aggregate — for instance, which guides are most read and where people may get stuck. This information is used to improve the content and structure of the website. If you do not enable analytics, the site still works fully.
6. Marketing cookies
Marketing cookies, where enabled, help us understand the relevance of any campaigns that may bring visitors to the site. They are entirely optional and disabled by default. You can turn them on or off at any time through the cookie settings.
7. Third-party cookies
Some optional cookies may be set by trusted third-party providers that deliver services such as analytics. These providers process information under their own privacy and cookie notices. We only enable such cookies after you have given consent, and we choose providers that offer appropriate safeguards.
8. Managing your cookies on this site
When you first visit, our cookie banner lets you accept all cookies, reject optional cookies, or open the settings to choose categories individually. Your preference is saved in your browser so we can honour it on future visits. You can clear your stored preference at any time by clearing your browser's site data, which will prompt the banner to appear again.
9. Browser-level controls
Most browsers let you view, manage, block, or delete cookies through their settings. The exact steps vary by browser, but help pages for each major browser explain the process. Please note that blocking strictly necessary cookies may affect how parts of this and other websites function.
10. Updates to this policy
We may revise this Cookie Policy to reflect changes in the cookies we use or in applicable law. When we do, we will update the "last updated" date at the top of the page. Significant changes to optional cookies will be reflected in the cookie banner.
