This Cookie Policy explains how uaecue.com (the “site”) uses cookies and similar technologies, what they do, and how you can control them. It should be read together with our Privacy Policy, which explains how we handle personal data more generally.
In short: at the date above, the site does not set any advertising or analytics cookies for readers, and you do not need any cookie to read our guides. If we switch on advertising or analytics, we will update this page first and, for visitors in Europe and the UK, ask for consent before those cookies are used.
What cookies are
Cookies are small text files that a website, or a service it uses, stores in your browser. They let a site remember information between pages or visits, such as your settings, whether you are signed in, or the choices you made in a consent message. Cookies can also help measure how a site is used and help show relevant advertising.
- First-party cookies are set by the site you are visiting, in this case uaecue.com.
- Third-party cookies are set by another company’s service used on the site, such as an advertising or analytics provider.
- Session cookies are deleted when you close your browser.
- Persistent cookies stay on your device for a set period or until you delete them.
Similar technologies include local storage, pixels and scripts that read information from your device. This policy covers them too, and we use the word “cookies” for all of them.
Cookies used on the site today
Readers browsing uaecue.com do not receive advertising or analytics cookies. The only cookies the site sets are for our editorial team when they sign in to manage the site:
| Cookie | Purpose | Who receives it | Lifetime |
|---|---|---|---|
| wordpress_test_cookie | Checks that the browser accepts cookies on the sign-in page | Editors signing in | Session |
| wordpress_logged_in_* and wordpress_sec_* | Keep an editor signed in securely | Signed-in editors only | Session, or 14 days if “remember me” is used |
| wp-settings-* and wp-settings-time-* | Remember an editor’s dashboard settings | Signed-in editors only | 1 year |
| _lscache_vary | Tells our caching system to show signed-in editors an uncached page | Signed-in editors only | Session |
These cookies are strictly necessary for running the site and do not need consent. Our hosting provider also records standard server logs, which are not cookies and are described in our Privacy Policy.
Cookies that may be used in future
If we enable advertising through Google AdSense or analytics through Google Analytics, the following kinds of cookies may be set. The names and lifetimes below are those Google publishes and may change; we will update this page when the services go live.

Advertising cookies
Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website or other websites. Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visits to this site and/or other sites on the internet. You can opt out of personalised advertising in Google’s Ads Settings, opt out of some other vendors at aboutads.info, or, in Europe, at youronlinechoices.eu. You can read how Google uses data from partner sites at policies.google.com.
Analytics cookies
Analytics cookies would help us understand how many people read our guides, which pages are most useful and which need improving. Reports are used in aggregate and are not used to identify you. You can stop Google Analytics from collecting data in your browser with Google’s opt-out browser add-on.
Your consent
When advertising or analytics is enabled, visitors from the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland will see a Google-certified consent message before any non-essential cookies are set. You will be able to accept, reject or choose by purpose, and to change your choice at any time through a privacy settings link on the site. If you reject personalised advertising, ads may still be shown without personalisation. Visitors elsewhere may also be offered choices where local law requires.
How to control cookies in your browser
Most browsers let you see which cookies are stored, block cookies from some or all sites, and delete cookies. Blocking cookies will not stop you reading our guides. These pages explain how:
- Google Chrome
- Safari on Mac and, on iPhone, Settings, Apps, Safari
- Mozilla Firefox
- Microsoft Edge
Private or incognito browsing deletes cookies when you close the window. Some browsers also block third-party cookies by default, which limits personalised advertising.
Changes to this policy
We will update this policy whenever the cookies used on the site change, including before any advertising or analytics cookies are switched on. The “Last updated” date at the top shows when it last changed.
