Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how Jonathan Keiler uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit this website.

Cookies can help websites function properly, remember preferences, understand how visitors use pages and support advertising or other third-party services.

This policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy.

They may be placed by:

• The website you are visiting
• Analytics providers
• Advertising platforms
• Embedded media services
• Social media platforms
• Other third-party tools

Cookies may remain on your device for a single browsing session or for a longer period.

These cookies are required for the website to operate correctly.

They may support:

• Security
• Page navigation
• Form submissions
• Cookie consent settings
• Login or administration functions
• Website performance
• Fraud prevention

Strictly necessary cookies may be set without optional consent where permitted because the website may not function properly without them.

Preference Cookies

Preference cookies remember choices made by visitors.

These may include:

• Language settings
• Display preferences
• Cookie choices
• Previously selected options

They can make future visits more convenient.

Analytics Cookies

They may collect information such as:

• Pages visited
• Time spent on the website
• Referring websites
• Device type
• Browser type

• Measure advertising performance
• Understand whether visitors interact with advertisements
• Support advertising networks

These cookies may track activity across different websites.

Advertising providers may use the information according to their own privacy and cookie policies.

Affiliate Cookies

Some articles may contain affiliate links.

When a visitor follows an affiliate link, a cookie or similar tracking method may be used to record that the referral came from this website.

This can allow us to receive a commission or another benefit if the visitor completes a qualifying action.

Affiliate tracking cookies may be set by the third-party merchant or affiliate network rather than directly by Jonathan Keiler.

Embedded Content Cookies

Some pages may contain embedded content from third-party services.

This may include:

• Videos
• Audio players
• Social media posts
• Maps
• Forms
• Images
• Interactive tools

Embedded services may place cookies or collect information when the content loads or when the visitor interacts with it.

The third-party provider controls how this information is processed.

Functional and Performance Technologies

In addition to cookies, the website may use similar technologies such as:

• Local storage
• Session storage
• Tracking pixels
• Web beacons
• Tags
• Scripts
• Device identifiers

These technologies may be used for purposes similar to cookies.

References to cookies in this policy may also include these related technologies where appropriate.

First-Party and Third-Party Cookies

First-party cookies are placed by this website.

They may be used for:

• Website operation

Third-Party Cookies

Third-party cookies are placed by external services used on the website.

These may include:

We do not control every cookie placed by third parties.

Visitors should review the relevant provider’s policies for more information.

Cookie Consent

Where required, visitors may be shown a cookie banner or consent tool.

This may allow you to:

• Accept optional cookies
• Reject optional cookies
• Choose specific cookie categories
• Change your preferences later

Strictly necessary cookies may remain active because they are required for the website to function.

Optional cookies should not be activated before consent where consent is legally required and the website’s technical setup supports this.

You may be able to change your cookie preferences using the cookie settings tool displayed on the website.

Where available, look for a link such as:

• Cookie Settings
• Manage Consent
• Privacy Preferences
• Change Cookie Choices

Your updated preferences may be stored in a cookie so that the website remembers your selection.

Deleting cookies from your browser may also remove your saved consent preference.

Managing Cookies Through Your Browser

Most browsers allow users to control cookies through their settings.

You may be able to:

• View stored cookies
• Delete cookies
• Block all cookies
• Block third-party cookies
• Allow cookies only from selected websites
• Delete cookies when the browser closes
• Receive alerts before cookies are stored

The exact process depends on the browser and device.

Blocking all cookies may affect how the website functions.

Forms, videos, preference settings or other features may not operate correctly.

Do Not Track Signals

Some browsers offer a “Do Not Track” setting.

There is no universally adopted standard for how websites should respond to these signals.

We may not respond automatically to every browser-based Do Not Track request.

Cookie consent tools and browser settings may provide more reliable ways to manage tracking preferences.

Depending on the service and configuration, analytics providers may process:

Where possible, privacy-focused settings may be used to reduce unnecessary data collection.

The specific analytics provider may change over time.

Advertising Services

The website may display advertisements supplied by third parties.

Advertising providers may use cookies or similar technologies to:

• Select advertisements
• Measure impressions
• Record clicks
• Prevent repeated advertising
• Build interest profiles
• Support personalised advertising

Where required, consent should be obtained before non-essential advertising cookies are activated.

Visitors may also have controls available through the relevant advertising provider.

Social Media Cookies

Social media buttons, feeds or embedded posts may allow social platforms to collect information about visitors.

This may occur even when the visitor does not actively interact with the embedded feature, depending on the platform’s configuration.

Social media providers may connect this activity with an existing account when the visitor is logged in.

Their use of cookies is governed by their own policies.

Forms and Contact Tools

Contact forms, newsletter sign-ups and other forms may use cookies or similar technologies for:

• Spam prevention

Where this occurs, the provider may rely on contractual, legal or technical safeguards for international data transfers.

Further information may be available in the provider’s privacy policy and in our Privacy Policy.

Children’s Privacy

This website is not specifically directed at children.
