1. What cookies and browser storage are
Cookies are small data files that a website can ask a browser to store. Similar technologies include local browser storage and short-lived session records. These tools can remember a preference, maintain a feature, reduce repeated prompts or provide aggregated information about how pages are used.
Daily Nourish Guide uses a limited approach. Functional storage supports core preferences, including the cookie choice itself. Optional measurement may be used only in line with the selection made through the banner. We do not use the website to run a shopping basket, payment flow or personalised advertising network.
2. Categories used on this website
Functional technologies are needed for expected site behaviour. They can remember whether the cookie banner has already been answered, preserve an accessibility or interface choice, support basic form protection and maintain technical stability. Because these features support the service requested by the visitor, they may operate without an optional measurement choice.
Partial preference means functional technologies remain available while optional measurement stays limited. Accept All allows functional storage and the optional measurement described in this policy. The precise implementation may change as the site develops, but we will keep the category labels understandable and update this page when a material change occurs.
3. Current storage summary
| Name or category | Purpose | Typical duration |
|---|---|---|
| nlj_cookie_choice | Records whether the visitor selected Functional, Partial or Accept All so the banner does not appear on every page. | Until cleared by the visitor |
| Session security record | Supports form integrity, service reliability and protection against repeated misuse. | Session or short operational period |
| Aggregated measurement | Where enabled, helps compare general page use and identify content that readers find useful. | Provider-dependent, normally limited |
4. Optional measurement
Optional measurement can help us understand broad questions such as which article categories are visited, whether a page loads correctly on common devices and whether readers reach key sections of a long guide. We seek aggregated insight rather than a detailed profile of a named reader.
When optional measurement is used, a provider may process technical details such as device category, browser, approximate location, referring page, page address and event time. We aim to minimise the information collected, shorten retention where practical and avoid sending form message content to measurement tools.
5. Forms and essential operation
Contact and newsletter forms may use short-lived technical records to reduce automated misuse, validate a request and return a success or error message without reloading the page. These records are part of the requested function and are not used to build unrelated interest profiles.
The website may also store a basic preference in local browser storage rather than a traditional cookie. Clearing browser data can remove that preference, which means the banner may appear again on a later visit.
6. How to make or change a choice
The banner provides three buttons: Accept All, Partial and Functional. Functional keeps only the technologies needed for expected operation and saved preferences. Partial keeps essential operation while limiting optional measurement. Accept All permits both functional and optional categories described here.
You can change the practical result by clearing cookies and local storage for dailynourishguide.co.uk, then revisiting the website and choosing again. Most browsers also allow blocking, deleting or limiting storage through privacy settings. Blocking all storage may cause the banner to return repeatedly or prevent a preference from being remembered.
7. Browser controls
Browser menus differ, but controls are commonly found under privacy, site data, cookies or permissions. You can usually review stored items for a domain, delete individual entries, remove all site data or choose how future storage is handled. Private browsing modes may remove storage when the private window closes.
If several browsers or devices are used, a choice may need to be made separately on each one. Browser extensions can also affect storage or scripts, so a feature may behave differently when an extension blocks a required resource.
8. Independent services
A page may link to an independent website for background reading or attribution. That website can set its own cookies after you choose to open it. Daily Nourish Guide does not control the independent site’s storage, and its policy should be reviewed separately.
Our hosting, security or email providers may use strictly operational records to deliver their service. We select providers with attention to privacy and limit access to the purpose for which the provider was engaged.
9. Duration and data minimisation
Storage duration depends on purpose. A session item may expire when the browser closes. A preference may remain until you clear it so that the website can remember your choice. Security records may be kept for a limited operational period. Optional measurement information is retained according to configured provider settings and then deleted or aggregated.
We review categories periodically and remove items that are no longer useful. We also aim to avoid duplicate tools that perform the same function.
10. Updates and contact
This Cookie Policy may be revised when a tool is added, removed or configured differently. The current page will show the latest modification date. A material expansion of optional use may be accompanied by a renewed preference request.
Questions about cookies or browser storage can be sent to [email protected] or by post to Daily Nourish Guide, 42 Willow Lane, Leeds, LS6 3HT, United Kingdom, United Kingdom. This policy was last updated on 3 July 2026.
