Cookie Policy

Cookies help websites work and show publishers how their pages are used. Here is how RedAndWhiteMagz.com may use them, and how you can control them.

What cookies are

Cookies are small text files that a website saves in your browser. They let a site remember information between pages or visits, such as a setting you chose or whether you have already seen a message.

Other technologies work in similar ways, and this policy covers them too. They include:

  • Local storage, which saves small amounts of data in your browser
  • Pixels and tags, which are small pieces of code that tell a service a page was viewed
  • Link tracking, such as the codes added to affiliate links so a retailer knows a visit came from us

First-party and third-party cookies

First-party cookies are set by RedAndWhiteMagz.com itself. Third-party cookies are set by other companies whose services appear on our pages, such as an ad network or an analytics provider.

Session and persistent cookies

Session cookies are deleted when you close your browser. Persistent cookies stay for a set period, or until you delete them, so a site can remember your choices on a later visit.

How we use cookies

RedAndWhiteMagz.com is free to read and has no user accounts, so we do not need cookies to log you in. We keep our use of cookies limited. Depending on the features running on the site at any given time, we may use the types below.

Strictly necessary

These keep the site working and secure. For example, they may help our hosting provider deliver pages and block abusive traffic, or remember the cookie choices you made. They cannot be switched off through our site, because parts of the site may not work properly without them.

Preferences

These remember choices you make, such as a display setting, so you do not have to set them again on every visit.

Analytics

These help us understand how readers use the site as a whole: which articles are read, how people arrive and whether pages load quickly. We prefer privacy-friendly analytics tools that report in aggregate, avoid building profiles of individual readers, and do not follow you across other websites. Some of these tools work without cookies at all.

Advertising

If we show ads, our ad partners may use cookies to deliver them, limit how many times you see the same ad, measure whether ads work and prevent ad fraud. Where the law allows, and with your consent where it is required, they may also use cookies to show ads that are more relevant to your interests. These cookies are controlled by the ad partners under their own privacy policies.

Some links to retailers are affiliate links. When you click one, the retailer or affiliate network may set a cookie or use a tracking code to record that you came from RedAndWhiteMagz.com. If you then buy something, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. You can read more in our Disclaimer.

Your choices

Where the law requires your consent for non-essential cookies, such as analytics or advertising cookies, we will ask for it before setting them, and you can change your mind at any time. If we show a cookie banner or cookie settings tool, you can use it to accept, reject or adjust your choices.

Browser settings

Every major browser lets you see, block and delete cookies. You can usually find these options in your browser’s settings under Privacy or Security. You can choose to:

  • block all cookies, or only third-party cookies
  • delete cookies automatically when you close the browser
  • delete cookies that are already stored
  • browse in a private window, which clears its cookies when you close it

Blocking strictly necessary cookies may stop parts of the site from working as intended. Blocking analytics, advertising or affiliate cookies will not stop you from reading anything on RedAndWhiteMagz.com. It may simply mean we cannot measure how the site is used, or do not receive credit for purchases made through our links.

Personalized ads and privacy signals

Many ad companies offer their own opt-out tools, and most phones and tablets let you limit ad tracking in their privacy settings. Some browsers and extensions can also send a privacy signal, such as Global Privacy Control, to tell websites you do not want your personal information sold or shared. Where the law requires us to honor these signals, we will.

Changes to this policy

The cookies we use can change as we add or remove features and partners. We will update this policy when that happens and change the date shown on this page.
