Cookie Policy

This page explains how UK Shortlists uses cookies and related technologies. We use a practical, minimal approach: essential site operation first, with analytics/advertising cookies only where configured.

What cookies are

Cookies are small text files saved in your browser. They can help sites function reliably, remember preferences, and measure usage patterns.

How UK Shortlists uses cookies

  • Essential: to support basic delivery, security, and performance of the site.
  • Analytics (where enabled): to understand aggregate page usage and improve content quality.
  • Advertising (where enabled): ad providers such as Google AdSense may set or read cookies for ad delivery, fraud protection, and reporting.

We do not use cookies to create invasive personal profiles for sale. Cookie behavior may still vary based on hosting, analytics, and third-party services in use at the time.

Affiliate links and merchant cookies

When you click an affiliate link (including Amazon UK links where used), the destination merchant may place its own cookies or tracking technologies. Those are controlled by the merchant, not by UK Shortlists.

Managing cookies

  • You can block or delete cookies through browser settings.
  • You can use private browsing modes for reduced local persistence.
  • You can avoid clicking outbound merchant links if you do not want third-party cookies from those services.

For broader data handling context, see our Privacy Policy.
