This notice explains the cookies and similar storage this site uses. For the bigger picture of how we handle data, see the Privacy Policy.
Cookies we set (first-party)
| Name | Purpose | Lifetime |
|---|---|---|
alv_visitor_id | A random identifier that lets us attribute outbound link clicks to our content and keep you in the same version of a page during content experiments (A/B tests). It is not used for cross-site advertising and contains no personal details. | 1 year |
alv_cookie_ack | Remembers that you dismissed the cookie banner. | 1 year |
Third-party cookies
We do not place third-party advertising cookies on this site. However, when you click an outbound link to a retailer or affiliate network, that destination site may set its own cookies (for example, to credit a referral). Those cookies are governed by the destination’s own policies.
How to control cookies
- Every major browser lets you block or delete cookies in its settings ~ look for “Privacy” or “Site data”.
- Blocking the
alv_visitor_idcookie does not stop the site from working; you may simply see default page versions.
European visitors
The attribution/experiment cookie is not strictly necessary for the site to function. If you are in a region that requires consent for such cookies, you can decline by blocking cookies for this site in your browser; we are also rolling out consent-based gating for EU traffic.
