A cookie is a small file a website stores on your device. Cookies can be used to remember you between visits, which on a domestic abuse website is a risk rather than a convenience.

What this site uses

This site sets no advertising cookies, no analytics cookies and no social media cookies. There is no cookie banner because there is nothing to consent to.

WordPress, the software this site runs on, sets a small number of strictly necessary cookies if you log in to manage the site. If you are simply reading, none of these apply to you.

If you send us a message through the contact form, your browser may remember what you typed so you do not lose it. If you share the device with someone you are worried about, use private browsing.

Clearing what is stored

You can clear cookies and browsing history from your browser settings at any time. Our article on covering your tracks online explains how to do this on the most common phones and browsers, and what it cannot hide.
