Cookie Policy
Which cookies this site sets, what each one does, and how to switch them off.
LAST UPDATED — AUGUST 10, 2026
What cookies are
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They let a site remember your actions and preferences across pages and visits. Some are set by us directly; others are set by third-party services operating on our pages, such as analytics and affiliate networks.
Cookies used on this site
| Category | Purpose | Set by | Typical life |
|---|---|---|---|
| Essential | Core site function, security, load balancing, and comment submission | Night Glimpse and hosting provider | Session to 12 months |
| Analytics | Aggregate measurement of pages viewed, time on page, and referral source | Google Analytics | Up to 24 months |
| Affiliate tracking | Attributing a qualifying purchase to a referral from this site | Amazon Associates and other affiliate networks | Typically 24 hours to 30 days |
| Preferences | Remembering choices such as a comment name or a dismissed notice | Night Glimpse | Session to 12 months |
We do not set cookies for behavioural advertising, and we do not run third-party ad networks on this site.
Third-party cookies
Analytics and affiliate cookies are placed by the providers named above under their own privacy terms, and the data they collect is processed by them, not by us. Following an outbound product link takes you onto the retailer’s own site, where their cookie practices apply from that point on.
Managing and deleting cookies
You control cookies through your browser. Every major browser lets you view stored cookies, delete them, block third-party cookies, or block all cookies. The relevant settings are found under:
- Chrome — Settings, then Privacy and security, then Third-party cookies and Delete browsing data.
- Safari — Settings, then Privacy, then Manage Website Data and Prevent cross-site tracking.
- Firefox — Settings, then Privacy & Security, then Cookies and Site Data and Enhanced Tracking Protection.
- Edge — Settings, then Cookies and site permissions.
- Private or incognito windows — discard cookies automatically when the window is closed.
WHAT HAPPENS IF YOU BLOCK THEM
Blocking analytics and affiliate cookies does not affect your access to any page, table, or comparison on this site. Everything remains fully readable. Blocking essential cookies may prevent comment submission and can interfere with security features. Blocking affiliate cookies means a purchase you make will not be credited to this site, which costs us commission but costs you nothing.
Do Not Track and global privacy signals
Browsers may send a Do Not Track header or a Global Privacy Control signal. There is still no single industry standard for responding to Do Not Track, so we do not currently alter behaviour based on it. We do not sell personal information in any case, and browser-level cookie blocking remains the most reliable control available to you.
Changes to this policy
This policy is updated when the services we use change. The date at the top of this page reflects the current version. Related documents: Privacy Policy and Affiliate Disclosure.
