1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. Similar technologies include local storage and session storage, which can remember preferences during or across browsing sessions. This policy covers those technologies as used on Swithera.co.uk.
2. How we use cookies
We use cookies and storage to make the site work reliably, remember choices such as age confirmation and cookie consent, understand how pages are used in aggregate, and improve performance and content usefulness over time.
3. Types of cookies we use
Essential
These support core functions such as security, load balancing, age-gate status for the browsing session, and storing your cookie preference so the banner does not reappear unnecessarily.
Analytics and performance
Where enabled, these help us understand which pages are visited, how visitors move through the site, and where technical improvements may be needed. Data is typically aggregated rather than used to identify you personally.
Functionality
These remember settings that improve convenience, such as interface preferences where available.
4. Consent
When you first visit, a cookie notice may ask you to accept non-essential cookies. Essential technologies needed for the site to function may be used without additional consent. You can change browser settings to block or delete cookies at any time, though some features may not work as intended if essential storage is disabled.
5. Third-party cookies
If we use analytics, hosting, or similar providers, those partners may set their own cookies subject to their policies. When you leave Swithera via an affiliate link, the destination platform or affiliate network may also set cookies independently of us.
6. Managing cookies
Most browsers let you refuse cookies, delete existing cookies, or alert you when a cookie is set. Device-level settings can also clear local and session storage. Clearing storage may reset age verification or consent preferences for your next visit.
7. Updates
We may revise this Cookies Policy when our tools or legal requirements change. The current version will be published on this page.
