Cookie Policy

Last updated: 5 July 2026

This Cookie Policy explains how English Banter (the “Site”), operated by Ceart Digital Limited, uses cookies and similar technologies, and how you can manage your choices. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.

1. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They help the site work, remember your preferences, and provide information to the site owner and third parties. We also use similar technologies such as pixels, tags, and local storage, which we refer to collectively as “cookies” in this policy.

2. How we use cookies

English Banter is a free, ad-supported site. We use cookies to make the Site work, to understand how it’s used, and to serve and measure the advertising that keeps it free. Some cookies are set by us, and others are set by third-party partners such as advertising and analytics providers.

3. Categories of cookies we use

Strictly necessary

Always on

Required for the Site to function — for example, page navigation, security, and remembering your cookie choices. These cannot be switched off in our systems and do not require consent.

Analytics / performance

Consent

Help us understand how visitors use the Site — which pages are popular and how people move around — so we can improve it. These are only set with your consent.

Advertising

Consent

Set by our advertising partners to serve adverts, measure their performance, limit how often you see the same ad, and — where you consent — show more relevant, personalised advertising. These are only set with your consent.

Functional

Consent

Remember choices you make to give you a better experience, such as display preferences. These are only set with your consent.

4. Third-party cookies

Because the Site is ad-supported, some cookies are set by third-party advertising and analytics partners who act as independent controllers of the data they collect. We use partners such as [your ad network, e.g. Ezoic / Mediavine / Google] and [your analytics provider]. Their own privacy and cookie policies govern how they use that data, and we recommend reviewing them.

Replace the bracketed names above with the actual partners you use, and link to their policies, before publishing.

5. Managing your choices

When you first visit the Site, our consent banner lets you accept or reject non-essential cookies. You can change your choices at any time via the “Cookie settings” option [link/button location — e.g. in the footer].

You can also control cookies through your browser settings, including blocking or deleting them. Please note that if you block strictly necessary cookies, parts of the Site may not work properly.

6. Consent and legal basis

We set strictly necessary cookies on the basis of our legitimate interest in operating the Site. All other cookies — analytics, advertising, and functional — are only set where you have given your consent, in line with the GDPR and ePrivacy rules. You can withdraw your consent at any time, and doing so will not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal.

7. Changes to this policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use or for legal reasons. Any changes take effect once posted on this page, and the “last updated” date above will reflect the most recent revision.

8. Contact

If you have any questions about our use of cookies, please get in touch via our contact page. This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy and Terms of Use.
