Cookie policy

What cookies are

Cookies are small files stored on your device when you visit a website. Similar technologies, such as local storage and scripts, work in comparable ways. We group them below by purpose, and only strictly necessary ones are used without your consent.

Strictly necessary

These are needed for the site to work and to respect your choices, so they cannot be switched off.

• cs_consent: records your cookie choices so we do not ask again on every visit
• cs_region: remembers the country edition you selected

Analytics

With your consent, we use Google Analytics 4 to understand how the site is used, such as which pages are popular. These cookies are off until you allow them.

• _ga: distinguishes visitors, provided by Google
• _ga_*: keeps session state for Google Analytics 4, provided by Google

Embedded content

Some pages include Google Maps. When a map loads, Google may set cookies and collect data such as your IP address. We load maps only if you consent to embedded content or choose to load a map.

Notifications and marketing

If you allow it, we use Subscribers.com to offer browser push notifications about new guides and offers. It stores data needed to deliver notifications to your device. You can opt out in your browser at any time.

Changing your choices

When you first visit, you can accept all, reject all or choose categories. Rejecting is as easy as accepting. You can change your mind at any time using the Cookie settings link in the footer, and we will stop using non-essential cookies from that point.

You can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings, although some parts of the site may not work as expected. Visitors from the US can use the Your Privacy Choices link, and we honour Global Privacy Control signals. This policy was last updated 8 October 2026.
