This Cookie Policy explains what cookies howtomakebbq.com uses and how to control them. It sits alongside our Privacy Policy.
What Cookies Are
A cookie is a small text file a website stores on your device. It lets the site recognise your browser on a later visit — to remember a preference, to count visitors, or to decide which advert to show you. Cookies cannot run programs or carry viruses.
Cookies We Use
| Type | What it does | Set by |
|---|---|---|
| Essential | Keeps the site working — page caching, form security tokens, and remembering that you have submitted the subscribe form | This site |
| Preferences | Remembers choices you make, such as dismissing a notice | This site |
| Analytics | Counts visits and shows which guides are read, in aggregate | Third party |
| Advertising | Selects and measures the ads you see, and limits how often the same ad repeats | Third party, including Google |
| Affiliate | Attributes a purchase to this site if you buy through one of our links | Third party |
Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies on this site are set by other companies, not by us.
- Google, as a third-party vendor, uses cookies — including the DoubleClick DART cookie — to serve ads based on your visits to this and other sites. You can opt out of personalised ads in Google Ads Settings.
- Other advertising partners may set their own cookies to measure ad performance. Many can be opted out of together at optout.aboutads.info or, in Europe, at youronlinechoices.com.
- Analytics providers set cookies to distinguish one visitor from another so visit counts are accurate.
- Social and sharing buttons may set cookies if you use them.
We do not control third-party cookies and cannot switch them off on your behalf. Their use of any data they collect is covered by their own privacy policies.
How to Control Cookies
Every major browser lets you see, block and delete cookies in its settings, usually under Privacy or Security. You can block all cookies, block third-party cookies only, or delete what is already stored.
Blocking cookies will not stop you reading this site. It may mean adverts are less relevant, some preferences are forgotten between visits, and a form asks you to confirm something twice.
