This notice explains which cookies coologee.com sets, what each one does, how long it lasts and how to refuse the ones that are not essential. It sits alongside our Privacy Policy, which covers personal information more broadly.
A cookie is a small text file a website asks your browser to store. Similar technologies — local storage, pixels, software development kits and tracking scripts — do comparable things, and everything in this notice applies to them too. Cookies set by coologee.com are called first-party. Cookies set by another organization whose service runs on our pages are called third-party.
A session cookie is deleted when you close your browser. A persistent cookie stays until it expires or you clear it. Both kinds are listed below with their durations.
Strictly necessary cookies are set without asking, because the site cannot be delivered securely without them. Everything else — analytics and preference cookies — is set only if you agree, and we ask before we set them rather than after. Declining is as easy as accepting, and choosing to decline does not degrade the site: every page, essay and form works the same either way.
You can change your mind at any time using the cookie preferences control in the site footer, and your choice is remembered for twelve months before we ask again. Withdrawing consent is as straightforward as giving it.
[Cookie inventory to come — to be completed from a pre-launch cookie scan of the published site. Each entry should name the cookie, say who sets it, what it does, whether it is first or third party, and how long it lasts.] Naming each cookie individually is what UK and EU guidance expects, so this table should be filled before the site goes live and re-checked whenever a new script is added.
Our website host and content delivery network set strictly necessary cookies for security and performance. Our analytics provider sets analytics cookies where you have agreed. Embedded content — for example a video player or a subscribe widget — may set its own cookies when you interact with it, governed by that provider's own notice rather than ours.
We do not control what third parties do with information their own cookies collect. Where we can configure them to collect less, we do.
Every major browser lets you block or delete cookies in its privacy or site settings, and most offer a private browsing mode that discards them when the window closes. Blocking strictly necessary cookies at browser level may stop parts of this site working, which is a limitation of the browser control rather than a choice we have made.
Where the law requires it, we treat a Global Privacy Control signal sent by your browser as a valid opt-out. There is no settled standard for Do Not Track headers, so we do not respond to those separately.
Some cookie data, such as an IP address or a device identifier, counts as personal information under UK, EU and several US state laws. Where that is so, our Privacy Policy governs how we handle it — including the legal bases we rely on, how long we keep it, where it is transferred and the rights you can exercise over it.
If we add, remove or change a cookie we will update this notice and the date at the top. Where a change means we start setting something new that needs consent, we will ask you again before setting it.
