Cookies are small text files placed on your device by a website. They allow the site to remember information between pages or visits, such as your preferences or whether you have already seen a notice.
Some cookies are deleted when you close your browser, while others remain stored on your device until they expire or until you remove them through your browser settings. On this site, cookies are limited to keeping the page functioning and counting visits in aggregate.
Session cookies
Removed automatically when you close your browser window.
Persistent cookies
Stay on your device until they expire or you delete them yourself.
Cookies we use
The site uses a small set of cookies for essential functionality and for aggregate visitor statistics. We do not use cookies for advertising or cross-site tracking.
Category
What it does
Essential
Keeps basic features working, such as form handling when you write to the editorial team. Blocking these can stop parts of the site from responding.
Statistics
Show which guide pages are read and which are not, counted in aggregate rather than per person. They never build a profile you could be identified from.
Preference
Remember a choice you made in the interface, so the site does not ask the same question again on your next visit.
Not used here
Advertising, retargeting, and cross-site tracking cookies. FocusStride does not run these, and the site does not sell reader data.
Third-party services
If the site uses an external analytics service or embedded content, that provider may set its own cookies subject to its own policy. We select services that process data in aggregate where possible, and we review each provider before adding it.
Links to external sites, including retailers and brand pages, are governed by those sites' policies, not this one. Once you follow an outside link, that site decides what it stores on your device.
Where your data goes
- On this site: cookies stay limited to function and aggregate reading counts.
- External providers: any analytics or embedded media sets cookies under its own published policy.
- Outbound links: retailer and brand pages are outside our control once you open them.
Managing cookies
Clear stored cookies
Browser settings let you delete everything already stored, then load the site fresh.
Block third-party cookies
Useful when you want this site's own function cookies but not those from outside providers.
Browse in private mode
Private windows discard most cookies when you close them, at the cost of remembered preferences.
Block essential cookies
Blocking function cookies may affect how parts of the site work, such as contact form handling.
Consent
Where required, the site asks for consent before setting non-essential cookies. You can withdraw consent at any time by adjusting your browser settings or clearing stored cookies. Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy if the cookies used on the site change. The current version is always published on this page, and the policy keeps its meaning even when a provider is swapped out.
Questions about cookies and data handling can be sent to the editorial team. Related reading: the site also publishes a privacy policy covering data handling in more detail.
