Cookies Policy

Last updated: April 2026

This Cookies Policy explains what cookies are, which cookies cliffmadhoneyindex.org uses, and how you can control them.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites function correctly, work more efficiently, and provide basic reporting information to site owners.

2. How We Use Cookies

Cliff Mad Honey Index is an independent, ad-free reference site. We use a minimal number of cookies and do not use cookies to track you across other websites, serve advertising, or build personal profiles.

We use cookies for two purposes only:

Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are required for the site to function and cannot be disabled. They do not store any personally identifiable information. They include:

• Session cookies — Set by WordPress to maintain basic site functionality. These expire when you close your browser.
• Security cookies — Set to protect against cross-site request forgery (CSRF) attacks.

Analytics Cookies

We use privacy-preserving, anonymised analytics to understand how visitors use the site in aggregate — for example, which pages are most visited and how users navigate between them. No personally identifiable information is stored or transmitted.

• Analytics data is collected in aggregate form only.
• We do not share analytics data with third parties for marketing or advertising purposes.
• Individual user behaviour is not tracked or profiled.

3. What We Do Not Use Cookies For

We do not use cookies for any of the following:

• Advertising or retargeting
• Cross-site tracking
• Social media tracking pixels
• Personalisation or profiling
• Selling data to third parties

Cliff Mad Honey Index does not serve ads and has no advertising partners.

4. Third-Party Cookies

We do not embed third-party social media widgets, video players, or advertising scripts that would set cookies from external domains. Any embedded content from third parties (such as links to journal articles) is linked externally and does not set cookies on this site.

5. How to Control Cookies

You can control and delete cookies through your browser settings. Instructions vary by browser:

• Google Chrome — Settings > Privacy and security > Cookies and other site data
• Mozilla Firefox — Settings > Privacy & Security > Cookies and Site Data
• Safari — Preferences > Privacy > Manage Website Data
• Microsoft Edge — Settings > Cookies and site permissions

Please note that disabling strictly necessary cookies may affect how the site functions.
