What do I need to know about cookies?

Cookies are small text files which are transferred to your computer or mobile device when you visit a website or app.

We use them to:

  • Deliver advertising: This is how we fund our free content. We use cookies to show you ads that are relevant to your interests.

  • Help us understand how people are using our services: So we can make them better.

  • Remember information about you: So you don’t have to give it to us again (e.g., if you leave a comment).

  • Keep you signed in: If you have an account with us.

  • Find out if our emails have been read: If you subscribe to our newsletter.

You can change your cookie settings at any time through your browser or the “Privacy Settings” link in the footer of our website.

There are different types of cookies:

1. First-party cookies

These cookies are set by allcity.info. Only we can read them.

2. Third-party cookies

These cookies are set by someone other than us.

  • Advertising: Since we use Google AdSense, Google may set cookies on your browser to serve personalised ads based on your visits to this and other websites.

  • Social Media: If you share a link to an allcity.info page, the service you share it on (for example, Facebook, X, or LinkedIn) may set a cookie on your browser.

  • Analytics: We use third-party tools (like Google Analytics) to help us understand how our site is performing.

We have no control over third-party cookies – you can turn them off, but not through us directly. You generally need to use your browser settings or the third party’s own opt-out tools.

3. Session cookies

These cookies only last as long as your online session and disappear from your computer or device when you close your browser.

4. Persistent cookies

These cookies stay on your computer or device after your browser has been closed and last for a time specified in the cookie. We use persistent cookies when we need to know who you are for more than one browsing session (e.g., remembering your cookie consent preferences).

How we use specific cookie categories:

Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies let you use all the different parts of allcity.info. Without them, services that you’ve asked for can’t be provided. Examples:

  • Remembering security settings.

  • Ensuring the website content loads quickly and securely.

Functional Cookies

These help us personalise allcity.info to you by remembering your preferences and settings. Examples:

  • Remembering if you visited the website before so that messages for new visitors are not displayed to you again.

  • Remembering your details if you leave a comment so you don’t have to re-type them next time.

Performance Cookies

These help us make sure that the website is working properly and fix any errors. They let us try out different ideas. Examples:

  • Counting how many people visit a specific article.

  • Seeing which pages take a long time to load so we can fix them.

Advertising Cookies

allcity.info is an ad-supported site. We use advertising networks (primarily Google AdSense) to show you specially targeted adverts when you visit.

  • These networks use cookies to track your browsing across different sites to build a profile of your interests.

  • This allows us to show you ads for things you might actually want, rather than random spam.

  • Note: You can opt-out of personalised advertising by visiting Google’s Ad Settings.

Other Tracking Technologies

Some pages may use things like web beacons (also known as clear GIFs or pixel tags).

  • They usually take the form of a small, transparent image that is embedded in a web page or email.

  • They work with cookies and capture data like your IP address, when you viewed the page or email, and what device you were using.

  • We use these primarily to see if our email newsletters are being opened.
