What cookies are
Cookies are small pieces of information stored by a browser for a website or service. Browser storage can also use mechanisms other than cookies. Some storage supports a requested function, while other storage may be used for advertising or optional measurement. A useful explanation should describe the actual purpose rather than treating all storage as identical.
The editorial pages
The article index, new guides, and information pages are readable without an account and do not require advertising or optional analytics cookies. Their photographs are delivered from this website. The mobile menu works without saving a profile of your browsing. This does not describe the policies of another website you deliberately open from a reference or social link.
External links and media
Following a reference, social link, email action, or external service can bring you under that service’s own privacy and storage arrangements. A link is different from a script that loads automatically. Where a future feature introduces optional trackers, the explanation and any necessary controls should be reviewed before the feature is enabled.
Your browser controls
You can review stored website data and cookie settings in your browser. Blocking storage can affect functions on services that depend on it. Removing local data does not automatically remove information you already sent by email or to another organisation. Contact the relevant service separately if your request concerns information held outside your browser.
Questions about this website
Contact the WP Skillz team if you encounter a storage behaviour you want explained. Include the page and the action you took, but do not send private browsing history or authentication information. This page should be reviewed when the website’s tools or integrations change.
