Cookie policy for the Basswin portal
Start playingUnderstanding cookies on classicscifi.org.uk
This page explains how Basswin – the independent information portal at classicscifi.org.uk – uses cookies when you visit. A cookie is a small text file that a website places on your device; on a return visit, the same site reads it back to recall a preference or register a page view. Cookies do not run executable code and cannot read other files on your device.
Our portal sets cookies for a limited set of purposes: keeping the site working correctly, measuring how readers move through its pages, and serving relevant advertising where applicable. The table below sets out each category we may use.
| Category | Purpose | Requires consent |
|---|---|---|
| Necessary | Core site functions – session state, security tokens, cookie-preference storage | No |
| Analytics | Anonymous traffic measurement – pages visited, time on site, referring source | Yes |
| Marketing & advertising | Interest-based advertising and affiliate tracking | Yes |
| Preference | Remembering display or language choices you make on this site | Yes |
Seeing what gets stored and for how long
Necessary cookies typically last for your browsing session and are deleted when you close the browser. Analytics and preference cookies may persist for up to 13 months from the date they are set, after which they expire automatically. Marketing cookies set by third-party advertising networks follow the retention periods those providers apply, which this portal does not control directly.
No personally identifiable information – such as your name, email address or payment details – is stored inside a cookie by classicscifi.org.uk. Traffic data gathered through analytics is aggregated and anonymised before we review it.
Recognising embedded third parties on this portal
Some pages on classicscifi.org.uk load content from third-party services, including analytics platforms and advertising networks. When their scripts run, those providers may place their own cookies on your device. We do not control the content of those cookies; the relevant third party's own privacy and cookie policy governs how they are used and how long they last.
Where a page covering the Basswin platform loads external content, that provider may also collect aggregate, non-identifying usage data for its own purposes. Reviewing the cookie notice of any third-party service is the most direct way to see precisely what it stores.
Declining cookies without breaking the site
You can manage or withdraw consent at any time through the cookie banner on this site. Your browser settings give you the same control:
- Google Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data
- Mozilla Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
- Apple Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data
- Microsoft Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions → Manage and delete cookies
Disabling necessary cookies may limit how certain site features behave, but it will not stop you from reading our content. Switching off analytics or marketing cookies has no effect on your ability to view any page – you will simply see less tailored advertising, where any is shown.
Staying current when this policy changes
This cookie policy may be revised when we update the site's build, bring in a new third-party service, or when a provider we already use changes its own practices. We will update the date below whenever a material change is made. Continuing to use classicscifi.org.uk after a revision is posted constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.
For any questions about cookies on this portal, write to us at [email protected].
