Cookie Policy
Last updated: June 2026
This cookie policy explains how All Sister Sites uses cookies and similar technologies on allsistersites.com. It sets out what these technologies are, why we use them, the types we rely on, and how you can manage or switch them off. It should be read together with our Privacy Policy, which explains more about how we handle your personal information.
What Are Cookies?
A cookie is a small text file that a website saves on your computer, phone or tablet when you visit. Cookies are widely used to make websites work, to make them work more efficiently, and to give the people who run them useful information. Alongside cookies we may also use similar technologies such as pixels, tags and local storage, which do much the same job. For simplicity, this policy refers to all of them as “cookies”.
Cookies let a website remember things about your visit, such as your preferred settings and the choices you have made, so that your next visit is smoother and the site does not have to ask you for the same information twice.
Why We Use Cookies
We use cookies for a handful of straightforward reasons: to keep the website running properly and securely, to remember the preferences and choices you make, to understand how visitors find and use our pages so that we can keep improving them, and, in some cases, to support the affiliate tracking and advertising that helps fund the site. We only place cookies that are not strictly necessary when you have given us your consent.
Your Consent
When you first arrive at allsistersites.com, you will be shown a cookie notice that lets you accept all cookies, reject the non-essential ones, or choose for yourself which categories to allow. Strictly necessary cookies are always active, because the website cannot function without them and, under UK law, they do not require your consent. Every other type of cookie is placed only if you agree to it, and you are free to change your mind and update your choices at any time. Our use of cookies is governed by the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations and the UK GDPR, which are overseen by the Information Commissioner’s Office.
The Types of Cookies We Use
The cookies on our website fall into the following broad categories:
| Type of cookie | What it is for | Needs your consent? |
|---|---|---|
| Strictly necessary | These keep the website working as it should, support basic features and security, and remember the cookie choices you have made. | No |
| Functional | These remember the preferences and settings you choose, such as display options, so the site feels more personal and convenient. | Yes |
| Performance and analytics | These help us understand how visitors use the website, for example which pages are most popular, so we can improve how it works. The information is collected in a grouped, anonymous form. | Yes |
| Advertising and targeting | These support affiliate tracking and help make any advertising more relevant, as well as limiting how often you see the same advert. | Yes |
First-Party and Third-Party Cookies
First-party cookies are set by us and can only be read by our website. Third-party cookies are set by other organisations whose services we use, such as analytics providers, advertising and affiliate networks, and content that we embed from elsewhere, for example videos or social media. We do not control third-party cookies, so we would encourage you to read the relevant provider’s own privacy and cookie policies to understand how they use them.
Third-Party Services We Use
Depending on the choices you make, the website may use the following third-party services:
- Google Analytics, which helps us measure how the website is used, such as the pages people view and how they arrive. You can read about how Google handles data in its privacy policy, and you can opt out across all websites using the Google Analytics opt-out add-on.
- Affiliate networks, which record when you click through to an operator from our website so that any referral is credited correctly. This never adds anything to your costs.
- Embedded content and social media, where pages may include features from other platforms that can set their own cookies.
To manage advertising cookies from many providers in one place, you can visit Your Online Choices.
How Long Cookies Last
Some cookies are session cookies, which last only while you are browsing and are removed as soon as you close your browser. Others are persistent cookies, which stay on your device for a set length of time, anything from a few days to several months, so the website can recognise you when you return. Persistent cookies expire automatically once their set period ends, or sooner if you delete them yourself.
How to Manage or Delete Cookies
You are always in control of your cookies. You can change your choices on our website at any time through the cookie settings, and you can manage cookies directly in your web browser. Most browsers let you see what cookies are stored, delete them, and block some or all of them from being set. The exact steps differ from one browser to another, so it is worth checking the help pages for the browser you use, whether that is Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge or another.
For clear, independent guidance on managing cookies across different browsers and devices, you may find aboutcookies.org helpful. Please bear in mind that blocking or deleting cookies may affect how the website works, and some features may no longer behave as expected.
Changes to This Cookie Policy
We may update this cookie policy from time to time, for instance if we add new features or if the law changes. When we do, we will post the revised version on this page and update the date at the top, so it is worth checking back occasionally.
