This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, which ones wigenshats.org uses, and how you can control them. It should be read together with our Privacy Policy.

What cookies are

A cookie is a small text file that a site asks your browser to store. On your next visit the browser sends it back, which lets the site recognise the same device. Similar technologies — local storage, pixels and tags — work the same way and are covered by this policy.

Cookies we use

Essential. A small number of cookies are needed for the site to display correctly and to remember choices such as dismissing a notice. Without them parts of the site would not work, so they cannot be switched off from here.

Analytics. We use Google Analytics to count visits and see which pages are read. These cookies record how the site is used in aggregate. They tell us that a page was opened; they do not tell us who you are.

Affiliate tracking. When you click through to a retailer, that retailer may set a cookie recording that the visit came from wigenshats.org, so that we can be credited for a resulting purchase. This cookie is set by the retailer on its own domain, under its own policy.

We do not use cookies for advertising profiling on this site.

Third-party cookies

Cookies set by Google Analytics and by the retailers we link to are controlled by those companies, not by us. Their own cookie and privacy policies apply to them.

How to control cookies

Every major browser lets you see the cookies stored on your device and delete them, block third-party cookies, or block cookies from a specific site. Look for "Cookies" or "Privacy" in your browser settings. You can also install Google's Analytics opt-out add-on to stop analytics data being sent from your browser.

Blocking cookies is your right and the site remains readable without them, though some conveniences — such as a notice staying dismissed — will stop working.

Changes

If the cookies used by wigenshats.org change, this page will be updated to match.
