About this policy

This cookie policy explains cookies and similar technologies in relation to gurlworld.com, the website of G.URL Magazine.

Please read it alongside our privacy policy , which provides further information about personal information.

What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They can help a website remember information between pages or visits, such as items in a shopping basket or whether you are signed in.

Similar technologies, including local storage, can also store information on your device. In this policy, references to cookies include these technologies where relevant.

Cookies are not always anonymous. Depending on their purpose, they may contain identifiers or be linked to information about your browsing activity or account.

What can cookies do on G.URL?

G.URL includes magazine content, an online shop, account features and content supplied by other services. The cookies associated with your visit can depend on which features you use.

Whether consent is required depends on what a technology does and whether a relevant exception applies. A cookie is not essential simply because it is useful to the website.

Third-party content and services

Some G.URL pages include features supplied by other organisations, such as Spotify playlists, Instagram feeds, Sirv interactive character viewers and Steady membership services.

Loading or interacting with these features may involve connections to the provider’s servers. Depending on the service and your settings, the provider may use cookies or similar technologies and receive information such as your IP address, browser details and interactions.

These services have their own privacy information. A link to another website does not, by itself, mean that its cookies are stored on your device while you browse G.URL.

When you follow an external link, the destination website’s cookie and privacy arrangements apply to your visit there.

Managing your choices

Where consent is required, you should be given a choice before the relevant cookies or similar technologies are used. Simply continuing to browse does not mean that you have consented.

If a cookie preference panel is available on the website, you can use it to review the choices it provides. This policy page itself does not change cookie settings or block third-party services.

Browser settings

You can also use your browser’s privacy or website-data settings to view, delete or block cookies. The available controls vary between browsers and devices.

Deleting cookies may sign you out, clear saved choices or remove items remembered in your basket. Blocking cookies needed for a feature may prevent that feature from working.

Deleting cookies does not necessarily prevent new ones from being stored during a later visit. You may also need to adjust your browser settings or website preferences.

How long do cookies last?

Session cookies are intended to last for a browsing session. Persistent cookies have an expiry period and may remain on your device between visits, unless you delete them sooner or your browser removes them.

The duration depends on the individual cookie and provider. Other storage technologies may remain until they are cleared.

Your browser’s website-data tools can help you inspect stored information. Information about a particular third-party service may also be available in that provider’s cookie policy.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy as G.URL’s website, features and services change. Please check this page for the latest published version.
