Two buttons, one line of text, and this page explaining what sits behind them.
What cookies are
A cookie is a small text file a website stores in your browser so it can remember something between page views — that you dismissed a notice, or that your visit originally came from a particular referral link. Local storage works similarly but is not sent back to the server with every request.
Third-party analytics vendor
Where analytics run, they run through a single provider under contract, with data used only to produce our own reports. It is not shared, sold or joined to any other dataset.
Categories we use
| Category | Purpose | Typical lifetime |
|---|---|---|
| Strictly necessary | Page delivery, security and remembering your cookie choices. The site cannot work correctly without them. | Session – 12 months |
| Preferences | Remembering interface choices, such as the sticky offer bar you closed or an expanded FAQ entry. | Session – 12 months |
| Analytics | Counting visits in aggregate and measuring which sections are read. Reports are statistical, never individual profiles. | Up to 26 months |
| Affiliate attribution | Recording that a click on an outgoing partner link came from here, so a referral can be credited. See our Affiliate Disclosure. | 30 – 90 days |
We do not use cookies to build advertising profiles and we do not sell cookie data.
This site covers the app in full — modes, mechanics, account security and payouts — which means it carries the largest set of documents in the network. Each of them is written to be read, not to fill a footer.
How to control cookies
You can accept, refuse or delete cookies at any time. Blocking the strictly necessary category may break parts of the site; blocking analytics or affiliate cookies will not affect the content you can read.
- Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Third-party cookies.
- Safari: Settings → Privacy → Manage Website Data.
- Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data.
- Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions.
- Android / iOS browsers: browser settings → privacy → clear browsing data.
Private or incognito windows discard cookies when closed, which is a quick way to browse without persistent identifiers.
Changes
If we add or remove a tool that sets cookies we will update the table above and the revision date. Questions go to [email protected].
Browser controls
Every major browser can block or clear cookies per site, and private windows discard them on close. Blocking everything breaks many sites — but not this one.
The date at the top is the only version marker that matters; there are no silent edits.
