Handheld Herald

One page a week on the mobile games most people are actually playing — what they're like right now, and what's worth your evening.

Cookie Policy

This page explains what cookies are, and what this particular site does with them. The short version: the Handheld Herald does not set advertising or analytics cookies, and nothing here follows you around the web.

What cookies are

A cookie is a small text file that a website asks your browser to store. Cookies are commonly used to keep you logged in, remember preferences, or — most often on commercial sites — to measure traffic and target advertising.

What this site uses

The Handheld Herald is a set of static pages. It has no accounts, no login, no shopping basket and no comment system, so there is nothing for a cookie to remember.

Server logs

Like almost every website, the server that delivers these pages keeps standard access logs — the requested address, a timestamp, the browser's user-agent string, and the requesting IP address. These are ordinary web-server records used for security and to keep the site running. They are not cookies, they are not combined into a profile of you, and they are not shared with advertisers.

Third-party content

This site does not embed video players, maps, fonts, comment systems or any other third-party content, so no third party is in a position to set a cookie through these pages.

Controlling cookies

Because this site sets none, there is nothing here to switch off. If you want to review or clear cookies set by other sites, every major browser offers this in its privacy or history settings, and you can set your browser to block cookies generally.

Changes to this policy

If the site ever begins using cookies, this page will be updated before that happens and the change will be noted in an edition.
