Cookie Policy
Like most websites, Roger and Frances uses cookies. These are small text files that your browser stores on your device when you visit. They serve a handful of practical purposes — none of them sinister, we assure you. This policy explains what cookies we use, why we use them, and how you can manage your preferences.
What Are Cookies?
A cookie is a tiny piece of data sent from a website and stored on your computer or mobile device by your web browser. Cookies allow the site to remember certain information about your visit — your preferences, your login status, or the fact that you have already seen a particular notice. Think of them as the bookmarks a careful reader leaves between the pages of a well-loved volume.
Cookies We Use
Essential Cookies: These are necessary for the basic operation of the site. They handle things like session management and security features. Without them, parts of the site would simply not function. They expire when you close your browser or after a short fixed period.
Analytics Cookies: We use analytics tools to understand how visitors interact with our content — which articles draw the most attention, how long people linger on a page, and where traffic originates. This information is collected in aggregate and anonymized form. It helps us improve the site and write content that genuinely interests our readers.
Functionality Cookies: These remember choices you make — such as your preferred language or region — to provide a more personalized experience. They may also recall whether you have dismissed a notification so that it does not reappear on every page load.
Third-Party Cookies
Some content on this site may be served by third parties — embedded videos, social sharing buttons, or external fonts. These services may set their own cookies according to their own policies. We do not control these cookies, but we choose our third-party integrations with care and keep them to a minimum.
Managing Your Cookie Preferences
Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can typically choose to block all cookies, accept all cookies, or receive a notification when a cookie is being set. Be aware that blocking certain cookies may affect the functionality of the site. Each browser handles this differently — consult your browser’s help section for specific instructions.
Changes to This Policy
We may revise this cookie policy as our practices evolve or as regulations change. Any updates will be reflected on this page with a revised date below.
