What are cookies?

A cookie is a tiny file that is downloaded to your computer, to improve visitors' experience and to enable websites to work reliably. In general, websites won't function smoothly without certain cookies which are known as Essential Cookies.

Legally all websites in the EU and UK have to show a banner asking visitors' permission to allow them to put other types of cookies on visitors' computers. The style and wording of the banner can vary.

The choice between 'Reject' and 'Accept' Cookies

The banner on the home page of this website 1900s.org.uk asks you to choose between the buttons 'Accept Cookies' and 'Reject Cookies'.

'Reject Cookies' is a shorthand for 'Reject all cookies except the essential ones which are there by default for the smooth running of the website and cannot be removed'.

Whereas rejecting other cookies can prevent unnecessary data collection, it may also limit helpful features and functionality offered by safe cookies.

Cookies used on this website

This website, like all websites, includes the essential cookies that cannot be removed, but it does offer you the choice of accepting or rejecting additional cookies. See the Cookie Policy.

This website uses non-essential cookies supplied by Google to help with the design and maintenance of the site including the adverts.

This site may use the following types of cookies:

Google AdSense: - used to display adverts. These may track your browsing activity to show more relevant ads.

Google Analytics or similar tools: - used to collect anonymous information about how the site is used—such as which pages are most visited.

Embedded content (e.g. YouTube videos): - which may set cookies from third-party sites beyond my control.

It must be stressed that these cookies are concerned with only numerical data and do not collect or store personal information. They are extremely useful for me as a webmaster for showing which aspects of the site are most helpful for visitors. Also, the income from the ads pays for hosting the site, the design software and the antivirus software. The website does not get income from any other source and my work is given freely.

By choosing 'Accept Cookies', you support the maintenance of this site and its free resources

Once you've made your choice about cookies from the banner, it will disappear and won't reappear when you return to this site on the same browser. However, if you decide to change your cookie preferences later, you can do so through your browser settings. Here's how to find and adjust these settings in commonly used browsers:

Managing Your Cookie Preferences in Browser Settings

You can manage or delete cookies using your browser settings. You can also opt out of personalised ads by visiting Google’s Ad Settings.

Changes to This Policy

This Cookie Policy may be updated from time to time. The most current version will always be linked in the footers of the webpages.
