Cookie Privacy Policy

This page describes cookies and similar browser storage that may be used on aspies.co.uk.

In short

Reading the guides does not set advertising cookies or social-media tracking cookies.

What may be used

• Security and delivery. The network that delivers our pages may set a short-lived cookie or use similar signals to tell real visitors from automated traffic and keep the site available.
• Visit totals. Our hosting and delivery services may count visits in aggregate so we know which pages are useful, without building advertising profiles.
• Site editors. WordPress sets sign-in cookies only for the people who manage the site.

The reading-comfort switch and menus

The reading-comfort switch in the header and the mobile menu work inside your browser only. Choosing larger text does not save or send anything, and no cookie is set, so the setting resets when you open a new page.

The contact form

Sending a note does not set a cookie. Spam protection uses hidden fields and short-lived records on our server.

Cached pages

Public pages may be kept in a server cache so they load faster. The cache stores copies of pages, not information about you. The contact page is never cached.

Your controls

You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings. The guides and the The Quiet Shelf archive work without them.

For personal information more generally, see the Privacy Policy.
