Cookie Policy
Last updated: 26 June 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how Detectorist World uses cookies and similar technologies on this website.
What cookies are
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. Similar technologies, such as pixels, local storage and tracking tags, may also be used to remember preferences, measure usage, protect forms, or support affiliate tracking.
How we use cookies
We may use cookies for the following purposes:
- Strictly necessary cookies: needed for core website functions, security, form protection, login sessions, cookie consent choices and basic WordPress operation.
- Preference cookies: used to remember choices such as cookie settings or form preferences.
- Analytics cookies: used to understand how visitors use the site, which pages are useful, and where we need to improve. Analytics will be installed on the site.
- Affiliate cookies: used by partners such as Amazon, eBay and possible future supplier partners after you click an affiliate link. These help attribute referrals and may allow us to earn a commission at no extra cost to you.
- Embedded content cookies: third-party services such as videos, maps, social media, retailer tools or embedded posts may set cookies when you interact with them.
- Security and spam prevention cookies: used to protect forms, comments, submissions and the wider website from abuse.
Analytics
We plan to use analytics to measure website performance and improve content. Analytics may collect information such as pages visited, time on site, device type, browser type, referring page and approximate location. Where required, non-essential analytics cookies should only run after consent.
Affiliate tracking
Detectorist World uses affiliate links, including Amazon and eBay links. When you click an affiliate link, the retailer or affiliate network may set cookies or use similar technologies to record that you came from our site. These cookies are controlled by the relevant affiliate partner, not by Detectorist World.
As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.
Display advertising
We do not currently run display advertising. If this changes, we will update this Cookie Policy and any cookie consent controls as needed.
Managing cookies
You can manage cookies in several ways:
- Use the cookie banner or cookie settings tool on this website, if one is shown.
- Change your browser settings to block or delete cookies.
- Use privacy controls offered by analytics, advertising, affiliate or browser providers.
- Avoid clicking third-party embeds or affiliate links if you do not want those third parties to process referral information.
Blocking some cookies may affect how parts of the website work, especially forms, logins, saved preferences and embedded content.
Third-party cookies
Third-party websites and services may set their own cookies when you interact with them. This includes retailers, affiliate networks, social media platforms, video platforms, map providers, spam prevention tools and analytics providers. Their cookies are governed by their own privacy and cookie policies.
Updates
We may update this Cookie Policy when we add or remove analytics tools, affiliate partners, consent tools, embedded services or other website features.
