Cookie Policy
How we use cookies and how to control them.
Last updated: 3 July 2026
What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help the site work, remember your preferences and, where you consent, measure traffic and deliver relevant advertising.
Cookies We Use
Strictly Necessary
Required for the site to function. These include the age-confirmation cookie (age_verified), your cookie-consent choice (cookie_consent) and security/CDN cookies set by Cloudflare (e.g. __cf_bm, cf_clearance). These cannot be switched off.
Analytics
Help us understand how visitors use the site so we can improve it. These are only set after you give consent through our cookie banner.
Advertising / Marketing
Used to measure advertising campaigns and referrals and to deliver relevant ads. These may include Microsoft Advertising (UET) and affiliate attribution identifiers, and are only set after you give consent.
Your Choices
Cookie banner: when you first visit, you can accept all cookies or customise your choice. You can change your decision at any time via the "Manage cookies" link in the footer of every page, or by clearing cookies and reloading the site.
Browser controls: you can block or delete cookies in your browser settings — see the help pages for Chrome, Firefox, Safari and Microsoft Edge.
Opt out of personalised advertising:
- Microsoft personalised ads opt-out
- Your Online Choices (Australia)
- Your Online Choices (EU/UK)
- Digital Advertising Alliance opt-out (US)
Do Not Track
Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" signal. As there is no agreed industry standard for responding to it, our site does not currently change its behaviour based on this signal; instead, we rely on your cookie-consent choices. Where a browser privacy signal such as the Global Privacy Control (GPC) is legally recognised in your jurisdiction, we treat it as a valid opt-out of personalised advertising.
Changes & Contact
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time; the "Last updated" date above reflects the latest version. See also our Privacy Policy. Questions can be sent through our contact form.
