What Are Cookies?

As is common practice with almost all professional websites, this site uses cookies. Cookies are small text files that are downloaded to your device to help the site function properly and improve your experience.

This page explains what information cookies collect, how we use them, and why we sometimes need to store them. It also explains how you can prevent cookies from being stored, although doing so may downgrade or break certain elements of the site’s functionality.

How We Use Cookies

We use cookies for a variety of reasons, described below. In most cases, there are no standard options for disabling cookies without completely disabling the functionality and features they add to this site.

It is generally recommended that you leave cookies enabled if you are not sure whether you need them or not, in case they are used to provide a service that you use.

Disabling Cookies

You can prevent the setting of cookies by adjusting your browser settings (see your browser’s Help section for guidance).

The Cookies We Set

Account and Login Cookies

If you create an account with us, we use cookies to manage the signup process and general administration. These cookies are typically deleted when you log out. In some cases, they may remain afterwards to remember your preferences when logged out.

When you are logged in, we use cookies so that we can remember this fact as you navigate between pages. This prevents you from having to log in again every time you visit a new page or article. These cookies are usually cleared when you log out to ensure that restricted features are only available while logged in.

Email and Newsletter Cookies

If we offer newsletter or email subscription services, cookies may be used to remember whether you are already registered and whether to show certain notifications which may be valid only for subscribed or unsubscribed users.

E-commerce and Payment Cookies

If our site offers e-commerce or payment facilities (for example, for subscriptions, paid content, or merchandise), some cookies are essential to remember your order between pages and to process payments securely and accurately.

Surveys and Forms Cookies

From time to time, we may offer surveys, questionnaires, or submission forms (e.g. for essays, creative work, or feedback). These may use cookies to remember who has already taken part, to prevent duplicate responses, or to provide you with accurate results as you move between pages.

Preferences Cookies

To provide you with a tailored experience, we offer functionality to set your preferences for how the site runs when you use it (for example, language, theme, or cookie choices). To remember your preferences, we need to set cookies so that this information can be recalled whenever your use of a page is affected by those preferences.

Third-Party Cookies

In some cases, we also use cookies provided by trusted third parties. The following section explains which third-party cookies you might encounter through this site.

Conversion and Performance Cookies

If we sell products or services, it is important for us to understand statistics about how many visitors to our site make a purchase or complete a subscription. These cookies track that kind of data.

This helps us make informed business decisions, monitor our advertising and content performance, and ensure we can offer the best possible value.
