Cookie Notice
What cookies and similar technologies Snowboard Guide uses, what third parties may set, and how to control them.
This notice explains the cookies and similar technologies used on snowboard-guide.com. It sits alongside our privacy policy, which covers personal data more broadly.
The short version
This website sets no advertising cookies and no tracking cookies of its own. There is no cookie consent banner because there is nothing to consent to on our side. The only cookies you are likely to meet here are set by a retailer or affiliate network after you click an outbound commercial link and land on their site.
What a cookie is
A cookie is a small text file that a website asks your browser to store. It lets the site recognise your browser on a later request. Related technologies — local storage, session storage, pixels, fingerprints — do similar jobs.
Cookies set by this site
| Category | Set by us? | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Strictly necessary | No | The site is served as static files and needs no cookie to function. |
| Preferences | No | Nothing on this site stores a preference in a cookie. |
| Analytics | No | No analytics product is currently installed. |
| Advertising | No | We do not run advertising on this site. |
| Affiliate attribution | Not on our domain | Set by the retailer or network after you click through. |
Locally, a small amount of data may be held by your browser in memory while you browse — for example an open/closed menu state — but nothing is written to persistent storage.
Third-party cookies set after you click a commercial link
Snowboard Guide earns commission when readers buy through some links on the site. For that to work, the retailer or its affiliate network needs to know that a visit came from here. Once you leave this site and land on a retailer's domain, that retailer may set its own cookies.
We do not control those cookies and cannot read them. What they do is governed by the retailer's own cookie and privacy policies, which are worth reading if you have concerns. Typical purposes are:
- attributing a purchase to the referring publisher;
- keeping a shopping basket between pages;
- fraud prevention.
How to control cookies
You can manage or delete cookies through your browser settings. All major browsers let you:
- block third-party cookies entirely — this is the single most effective setting if you would rather not be tracked across sites;
- clear cookies on exit;
- browse in a private or incognito window.
Blocking cookies will not stop this website from working. It may mean an affiliate commission is not recorded if you later buy something, which affects us rather than you, and does not change the price you pay.
Useful starting points: Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Edge.
Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control
We honour the spirit of Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control signals by simply not tracking you in the first place. Since we set no analytics or advertising cookies, there is nothing for those signals to switch off on our domain.
Changes
If we ever add analytics or any other cookie-setting feature, this notice will be updated before it goes live, and a consent mechanism will be added where the law requires one. The date at the top of this page changes whenever the notice changes.
