This page explains the cookies and similar technology used on honestguidehub.com, why we use them and how you can control them. It should be read together with our privacy policy.
What cookies are
Cookies are small text files a website saves in your browser. They let a site remember things between pages, such as keeping a form secure. Some are set by the site you are visiting (first-party cookies) and some by other companies (third-party cookies).
Cookies we set
We keep cookies to the minimum the site needs to work. We set two:
- honest-guide-hub-session: keeps the site working as you move between pages, for example so a visit to an article is counted once rather than every time you reload it. It expires 30 days after your last visit to a page.
- XSRF-TOKEN: a security cookie that protects our contact form and buttons from being misused by other websites. It expires at the same time as the cookie above.
Both are strictly necessary for the site to work, so they don’t need your consent. Neither is used for advertising or to follow you around the web, and neither contains your name or email address.
Information stored in your browser
When you tell us whether a discount code worked, your browser remembers your vote in its local storage so it isn’t counted twice. This information stays on your device and is never sent to anyone else. You can clear it at any time from your browser settings.
Cookies from shops and affiliate networks
We don’t place advertising or affiliate cookies on honestguidehub.com. When you click an affiliate link, coupon or deal and go to a shop, that shop and the affiliate network that runs its programme may set their own cookies on their websites to record that you came from us. Those cookies are controlled by them and covered by their own cookie and privacy policies.
Analytics and advertising
We don’t currently use analytics or advertising cookies. If we add them in future, we will list them on this page and ask for your permission before they are set.
Managing cookies
You can see, block or delete cookies in your browser settings, usually under “Privacy” or “Security”. If you block the two cookies we set, most of the site will still work, but the contact form may not.
Questions
If you have any questions about how we use cookies, email us at support@honestguidehub.com or use the form on our contact page.
