Last updated: 26 June 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how COLD//RIOT may use cookies and similar technologies when you visit the site.
1. What cookies are
Cookies are small files placed on your device when you visit a website. Similar technologies include pixels, local storage, tags and SDKs. They help websites work, remember preferences, measure performance and understand traffic.
2. Types of cookies we may use
Essential cookies
These are needed for the site to function, such as security, page routing, form protection, session handling or remembering basic preferences. These cannot usually be switched off without affecting the site.
Analytics cookies
These help us understand which pages are read, how visitors arrive, what devices are used, and how the site performs. We use this to improve editorial planning, user experience, site speed and search growth.
Newsletter and form cookies
If we use newsletter, form or submission providers, they may set cookies or similar technologies to process signups, prevent spam, measure form performance and remember choices.
Embedded media and social cookies
Articles may include embedded video, audio, social posts, maps or other third-party content. These third parties may set cookies once you interact with or load their content.
3. Consent
Where required by UK or EU law, we will ask for consent before setting non-essential cookies. You may be able to accept, reject or manage cookie categories through a banner or preference tool once those services are active.
At launch, if no analytics or embedded third-party tools are active, the site may only use essential technologies. This page will be updated as tools are added.
4. Managing cookies
You can usually control cookies through your browser settings. You can block or delete cookies, but some site features may not work correctly. Browser controls differ, so check your browser's help pages for instructions.
5. Third-party cookies
Third-party services have their own cookie and privacy policies. We are not responsible for how third parties operate their cookies, but we aim to choose reputable providers and avoid unnecessary tracking.
6. Changes
We may update this Cookie Policy as COLD//RIOT adds or removes analytics, newsletter or embedded-media tools.
