Cookie Policy

This policy explains how this digital magazine website uses cookies and similar technologies, what they are for, and how you can control them. The website is run by Jellyfish Connect on behalf of the magazine's publisher. For how we handle personal data more generally, please see our Privacy Policy.

What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files that a website stores in your browser. Some are needed for the site to work; others help us understand how the site is used. We also use similar technologies, such as browser storage, which this policy covers in the same way.

Your choices

When you first visit, we ask whether you are happy for us to use analytics cookies. We only use analytics cookies and send reading statistics if you choose "Accept". If you choose "Reject", or make no choice, only strictly necessary cookies are used.

You can change your mind at any time using the Cookie Settings link, which is also in the footer of every page. If you withdraw consent, we delete our analytics cookies from your browser.

Some publishers use their own cookie banner on this site. Where they do, that banner is where you make and change your choices, and it applies in the same way.

Strictly necessary cookies

These are needed for the website to work and cannot be switched off. They do not track you across other websites.

Analytics cookies (only with your consent)

If you accept, we use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use the site, for example which pages are popular and how people find us. This helps us improve the site. Google Analytics sets the following cookies:

Google acts as our service provider for this. You can read how Google uses this information at policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.

On some sites the publisher also uses advertising measurement tools, such as Google Ads, Meta (Facebook) or Microsoft Advertising, to see whether their adverts led to a visit or a subscription. Where a site uses them, they are listed in the Cookie Settings panel and are only used if you accept.

Reading statistics (only with your consent)

If you accept analytics, the magazine reader also sends us reading statistics: which issue you opened, which pages you viewed and for how long, and basic details of your device and browser, together with your anonymous reader ID. We use these to understand how issues are read and to report readership to the magazine's publisher. If you don't accept, these statistics are not sent. Bookmarks and remembering your last page still work, because they are part of the service you asked for.

Third parties

We host the fonts and scripts this site needs ourselves, and magazine pages and images are delivered from our own storage, so viewing the site does not share your details with other providers. The analytics tools described above are the exception, and only run with your consent.

Controlling cookies in your browser

You can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings. If you block strictly necessary cookies, parts of the site, including the magazine reader, may not work. Help is available for Chrome, Firefox, Safari and Microsoft Edge.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy when the cookies we use change. The date at the top shows when it was last updated.
