Reading before the details

What cookies are

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow the site to recognise your browser on later visits and to remember preferences or measure usage. Similar technologies, such as local storage, work in comparable ways.

Stored

Small text files your browser keeps on your device, plus comparable local storage entries.

Read back

On a later visit the site can read the same file and recognise the browser it is talking to.

Used for

Keeping a form session open, remembering a dismissed notice, and counting which pages are read.

Not for

We do not use cookies to sell personal data. Details of what we do collect are set out in our Privacy Policy.

The same wording applies across our guides, including vitamins and minerals for men and energy and endurance supplements.

Third-party cookies

Some features may rely on third-party services that set their own cookies, for example an embedded video or an external analytics tool.

Handled by those providers

Those providers control their own cookies, and their own policies apply to them. We cannot read or change what a third party stores on your device, and blocking those cookies through your browser settings is the reliable way to stop them. If an embedded element stops loading after you block them, that is expected.

Why we use them

We use cookies to operate the site reliably, to measure readership in aggregate form, and to improve pages that underperform. We do not use cookies to sell personal data.

Reliable operation

A form session that survives a page refresh, a notice that stays dismissed, a page that loads the same way twice. That is the work of the necessary group, and it is why the site does not fall apart mid-visit.

Aggregate readership

We count visits per page to see which guidance lands and which gets skipped. The numbers arrive as totals and trends, and they tell us where to spend editing time on our popular products for men comparisons and label-reading guides.

Better pages

When a page shows visitors leaving early or hitting an error, we rewrite it. Fixing a confusing ingredient note or a broken table is the whole point of measuring at all, and it counts for more than any single number.

Managing cookies

You can block or delete cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to review stored cookies, delete individual ones, or refuse them entirely. Blocking strictly necessary cookies may affect how parts of the site function. Cleaning out cookies once also clears a preference you set earlier, so the site will ask you again.

The menu names differ between browsers, but the setting is usually filed under privacy, site data, or content settings. On a phone it often sits in the browser app rather than the system settings. If the guidance we publish about healthy lifestyle products ever depends on a page that will not load, that is usually the first place worth checking.

What each group does if blocked

Necessary

A form session cannot be held, and parts of the site may stop behaving as intended.

Analytical

Pages still load. We simply stop seeing which ones are read and which need rewriting.

Preference

You may be shown the same notice again on later visits instead of it staying dismissed.
