Cookie Policy

What cookies are
Cookies are small text files that a website places in your browser when you visit. Some are needed to make the site work; others help us understand how the site is used.
Cookies we use
Our site stores only the cookies needed to deliver and protect it:
- A hosting cookie that keeps your visit connected to the correct server.
- A security cookie used by our content network to block automated abuse and attacks.
- A cookie that keeps you signed in to your account, so you do not have to enter your password on every page (only when you have an account and are signed in).
- A preference cookie that remembers whether the menu on the moderation desk is open or closed.
These are strictly necessary. Under UK privacy law we do not need your consent to use them.
How we count visitors
We count visits and page views so we know which competitions and pages are useful. This counting sets no cookies and stores nothing in your browser: each visit is given a random reference that is discarded when the visit ends, and it is not linked to your name or email address.
Optional analytics and marketing
If we later add services such as Google Analytics, advertising or social media tracking, we will ask for your consent before they are switched on. This page will then be updated to name every cookie, what it does, who sets it and how long it lasts.
Your choices
You can accept or reject optional cookies in the banner shown at the bottom of the site, and you can change your mind at any time using the "Cookie settings" link in the footer. You can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings, but blocking the necessary cookies will stop the site working properly.
