Third-Party Cookies
In some exceptional cases, we also use cookies provided by trusted third parties—the following section details which third-party cookies you might encounter through this site.
- This site uses Google Analytics, one of the most widespread and trusted analytics solutions on the web, to help us understand how you use the site and how we can improve your experience. These cookies may track how long you spend on the site and the pages you visit so we can continue producing engaging content.
- See the official How Google uses cookies page for more information on Google Analytics cookies.
- From time to time, we test new features and make subtle changes to how the site is delivered. When we are still trying new features, these cookies may be used to ensure that you receive a consistent experience while on the site and that we understand which optimizations our users appreciate the most.
- As we sell products, we need to understand statistics about how many of the visitors to our site make a purchase, and as such, this is the kind of data that these cookies will track. This is important to you as it means we can accurately make business predictions to monitor our advertising and product costs to ensure the best possible price.
- The Google AdSense service we use to advertise uses a DoubleClick cookie to serve more relevant ads across the web and limit the number of times a given ad is shown to you.
- For more information on Google AdSense, see the official page on how AdSense uses cookies.
- We use adverts to offset the costs of running this site and provide funding for further development. The behavioral advertising cookies used by this site are designed to ensure that we provide you with the most relevant adverts by anonymously tracking your interests and presenting similar things that may interest you.
- Several partners advertise on our behalf, and affiliate tracking cookies simply allow us to see if our customers have come to the site through one of our partner sites so that we can credit them appropriately and, where applicable, allow our affiliate partners to provide any bonus that they may provide you for making a purchase.
