How Decively uses cookies.

This page explains the cookies and similar technologies decively.com may use. It describes the publication’s own site. It is not a list of every cookie a merchant or other website may set after you leave Decively, and it is not legal advice.

What a cookie is

A cookie is a small text file that a website asks your browser to store. Similar technologies, such as local storage, can remember a value in the browser without being a cookie. This page uses “cookies” to cover both where the effect is the same.

Cookies can last only until you close the browser, or they can remain until they expire or you delete them. A cookie set by Decively is not the same thing as a cookie set later by a shop, a video service or an affiliate network.

Cookies used to run Decively

The site may store a cookie that is strictly needed for a page to load, for a security check to work, or for the publishing software to tell a normal visit from automated abuse. A short-lived cookie of that kind may be used when you send the contact form.

Decively does not run an advertising or cross-site analytics programme that follows you around other websites. If that changes, this page will be updated to describe the new cookie and its purpose before it is used for that new purpose.

Logged-in editors may receive additional cookies so the writing tools can stay signed in. Those cookies are part of maintaining the site. Readers do not need an account, and ordinary reading does not require you to sign in.

What Decively does not use cookies for

Cookies on Decively are not used to sell personal information, to build a marketing profile for sale, or to decide which product review you are allowed to read.

A security or technical cookie is not a record of the products you buy. Decively does not process reader payments on this website.

Other websites and embedded material

If you follow a link, including an affiliate link, the destination site may set its own cookies under its own policy. That can happen on the merchant’s page even though it began from a sentence on Decively. The commercial relationship, where there is one, is explained on the Affiliate Disclosure page.

If a Decively page includes material embedded from another service, such as a video, that service may set cookies when the embed loads. Those cookies are controlled by the other service, not by this policy.

How to control cookies

Browsers let you refuse cookies, delete cookies already stored, or block third-party cookies. The steps depend on the browser you use. Blocking all cookies may stop a security check or the contact form from working properly, while leaving ordinary articles readable.

Private or incognito browsing usually removes session cookies when you close the window. It does not hide your visit from the site’s security logs, which are described in the Privacy Policy.

How this relates to personal information

A cookie may contain or be tied to a technical identifier. Where that identifier can be connected with you, the Privacy Policy explains how Decively handles personal information, who helps operate the site, and how you can ask a question.

Server logs, which record a request so the site can stay secure, are not cookies. They are covered by the Privacy Policy rather than by a cookie setting in your browser.

Changes to this policy

This page will be updated if Decively starts using a cookie for a new purpose, or if a cookie that is described here is no longer used. The date below is the date of the current version.
