Cookie Policy

What cookies are

Cookies are small text files placed on your device by a website. They allow a site to remember your choices between pages and visits, and they can be used to collect statistics about how a site is used. Similar technologies such as local storage work in comparable ways and are covered by this policy.

The categories we use

Essential. Required for the website to function and to record your cookie choice. These are set without consent because the site cannot operate without them. Your consent decision is stored in your browser under the key whisky_cookie_consent.

Analytics. Set only with your consent. These collect anonymised information about which articles are read and how readers navigate the archive, which informs our editorial planning.

Preferences. Set only with your consent. These remember display settings you have chosen so that they persist between visits.

We use no marketing, advertising, remarketing or cross-site tracking cookies of any kind, and no social media tracking pixels.

Managing and withdrawing consent

You may accept all cookies, reject all non-essential cookies, or select categories individually using the consent banner shown on your first visit. To change your decision later, clear this site's cookies and local storage in your browser settings; the banner will be shown again on your next visit.

All major browsers also allow you to block or delete cookies entirely. Blocking essential cookies may prevent parts of this website from working as intended.

Details of how personal information is handled, retained and protected are set out in our Privacy Policy, including your rights and how to complain to the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner. Questions about this policy can be sent through our contact page.
