What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your device when you visit it. Similar technologies, such as your browser’s local storage, work in much the same way. They help a site function properly, remember your preferences and, where you allow it, measure how the site is used.

Essential and analytics cookies

Essential

Strictly necessary for the site to work, for example remembering your cookie choice so the banner does not reappear on every page. Under UK law (PECR) these do not require consent, and they are always on.

Analytics

Help us understand which articles are read and how visitors move around the site, using aggregated statistics. They are only set if you choose Accept all. Until then, analytics run in a consent-denied mode that does not store analytics cookies.

Your choice

On your first visit a banner at the bottom of the screen asks you to choose:

Accept all allows essential and analytics cookies.
Essential only keeps analytics switched off.

Refusing analytics cookies does not limit your access to any content on commentonline.co.uk.

Changing your settings

You can change your mind at any time. Use the button below or the Cookies button in the bottom-left corner of any page to reopen the banner. You can also delete cookies and site data in your browser settings; the banner will then appear again on your next visit.
