Your Cookie Choice

You may have arrived here from the small notice that appears on your first visit. This page explains exactly what that notice controls, which is less than you might expect.

What we store

When you click accept or decline, the site saves your answer in your browser's local storage. Local storage is a small space on your own device that a website can use to remember a setting. Our entry holds one thing: the choice you made. It does not contain your name, your IP address, the pages you read or any identifier that could follow you around the web.

That value never leaves your browser. It is not sent to us, to our hosting provider or to anyone else. Its only job is to stop the notice from reappearing every time you open a new page.

What we do not use

• No advertising cookies.
• No statistics software counting visits or clicks.
• No social media buttons that load code from other companies.
• No third-party fonts, video players or chat widgets that set their own cookies.

Because none of this runs on the site, accepting or declining makes no difference to what is collected about you: in both cases, nothing is. The notice is there because we think you should be told plainly how a site handles storage, even when the answer is "barely at all".

Changing your mind

To bring the notice back, clear the stored data for this site in your browser. The exact steps depend on the browser, but the option usually sits under the privacy or site settings menu, often labelled something like "cookies and site data". After clearing it, reload any page and the notice will ask again.

Using a private or incognito window? Your choice is forgotten when the window closes, so the notice will greet you on your next visit.

Outside links

A handful of our guides include links that lead off this site. When you follow one, you leave e-Resource Guide, and that site may use its own cookies under its own policies. It is worth checking their settings if that matters to you.
