Third-party cookies

When you follow a link to a retailer or affiliate network, that party may set its own cookies, typically to attribute a purchase. We do not control those cookies; they are covered by that party's policy.

In the app

The Android app stores a device identifier, your preferences and a local cache so content loads quickly. Retailer pages opened inside the app's browser use that browser's own cookies.

Managing cookies

Your browser can block or delete cookies; the site will still work, but sign-in and preferences may not persist. On Android you can clear the app's storage from system settings.
