Cookie Policy

Last updated: August 2026

This Cookie Policy explains how Men Rewritten uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit MenRewritten.com.

It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which explains more broadly how we handle personal information.

We believe visitors should understand what technologies are being used on the website and have appropriate control over optional technologies.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small files that websites can place or store on your computer, smartphone, tablet or other device when you visit them.

They can perform a variety of functions.

For example, cookies may help a website:

remember your preferences,

maintain security,

understand how visitors use the website,

remember cookie choices,

provide particular website features,

or measure website performance.

Some cookies disappear when you close your browser.

Others may remain on your device for a specified period.

2. Why Men Rewritten May Use Cookies

Men Rewritten may use cookies and similar technologies to:

  • Operate the website

  • Maintain website security

  • Remember visitor preferences

  • Remember cookie choices

  • Understand how visitors interact with the website

  • Measure website performance

  • Identify and resolve technical problems

  • Support embedded content or website functionality

  • Improve the overall reader experience

The specific technologies used may change as Men Rewritten develops.

We will review this Cookie Policy when significant changes are made.

3. Strictly Necessary Technologies

Some technologies may be necessary for the website to operate or to provide functionality that you have requested.

These can include technologies associated with:

website security,

fraud prevention,

technical operation,

network management,

authentication where applicable,

remembering certain choices,

and cookie-consent management.

Where a technology qualifies for a legal exception, consent may not be required for its use.

However, we still aim to provide appropriate information about these technologies.

The ICO explains that whether something is strictly necessary should be assessed from the user's perspective: it must be essential to provide the service the user has requested, rather than simply being useful to the website operator.

4. Analytics and Performance Technologies

Men Rewritten may use analytics or performance technologies to understand how visitors use the website.

Depending on the services we use, this may help us understand information such as:

which pages are visited,

how visitors arrive at the website,

how visitors navigate the site,

which content is popular,

website performance,

and whether visitors encounter technical problems.

We use this information to understand and improve Men Rewritten.

Where consent is required for analytics or performance technologies, they will only be used after the appropriate choice has been made through our consent mechanism.

Before publishing: if you activate Google Analytics or another identifiable analytics platform, we should update this section to name the service specifically.

5. Functional Technologies

Functional technologies may allow Men Rewritten to remember certain choices or provide enhanced website functionality.

For example, they may be used to remember:

display preferences,

website settings,

or other choices you make while using the website.

Whether consent is required depends on the particular technology, its purpose and whether an applicable legal exception applies.

6. Embedded and Third-Party Content

Men Rewritten articles may sometimes include content or functionality provided by other websites or services.

Examples could eventually include:

YouTube videos,

maps,

social-media features,

forms,

or other embedded services.

These third parties may use cookies or similar technologies when their content or services are loaded or used.

Where consent is required, optional third-party technologies should not be activated until the appropriate consent has been obtained.

You should also review the privacy and cookie information provided by the relevant third-party service if you interact with it.

7. Advertising Technologies

Men Rewritten may introduce advertising in the future.

If advertising technologies are introduced, this Cookie Policy and our cookie-consent system will be updated accordingly.

Advertising and behavioural tracking technologies can involve the collection of information about visits, interests or interactions for purposes such as:

advertising measurement,

personalisation,

audience analysis,

or displaying advertisements.

Advertising technologies should not simply be classified as strictly necessary because advertising generates revenue. Current ICO guidance specifically states that advertising purposes do not meet the strictly necessary exception.

If Men Rewritten introduces advertising later, we'll revisit this section before activating it.

8. Similar Technologies

The rules aren't limited to traditional cookies.

Websites and online services can use other technologies to store information on, or access information from, a user's device.

These may include technologies such as:

pixels,

local storage,

tracking technologies,

and other storage or access mechanisms.

Where applicable, references to cookies in this policy should be understood to include similar technologies used by Men Rewritten.

The ICO's current guidance specifically covers broader storage and access technologies, not just conventional browser cookies.

9. Your Cookie Choices

When you first visit Men Rewritten, you may be presented with options allowing you to control relevant optional cookies or similar technologies.

Depending on the technologies being used, these choices may include options such as:

Accept All

Reject Optional Cookies

Manage Preferences

or similar controls.

Where consent is required, it should involve an appropriate positive choice rather than Men Rewritten assuming consent simply because you continued browsing the website.

ICO guidance requires valid consent to involve a clear positive action and says users should have an easy way to enable or disable non-essential cookies where consent is required.

10. Changing Your Cookie Preferences

Where Men Rewritten provides a cookie-preference tool, you can use it to review or change your choices.

Your browser may also allow you to:

view cookies,

delete cookies,

block cookies,

restrict third-party cookies,

or control how websites store information on your device.

The exact procedure depends on the browser and device you use.

Please be aware that disabling certain technologies may affect some website functionality.

The ICO also explains that browsers provide controls for deleting, blocking and otherwise managing cookies.

11. How Long Cookies Last

Different cookies and similar technologies can remain on a device for different periods.

Some operate only during a browsing session and expire when the browser is closed.

Others may remain for a defined period or until deleted.

The duration depends upon the particular technology and its purpose.

Where appropriate, Men Rewritten will periodically review the technologies being used and whether their retention periods remain necessary and proportionate.

12. Third-Party Services

Some parts of Men Rewritten may rely on third-party providers.

These providers may process technical information or use their own technologies when providing services to the website.

Examples may include services involved in:

website hosting,

security,

analytics,

embedded content,

website functionality,

email services,

or other technical infrastructure.

Third-party providers may have their own privacy and cookie policies explaining how they process information.

13. Changes to This Cookie Policy

Men Rewritten may update this Cookie Policy when:

website functionality changes,

new technologies are introduced,

third-party services change,

our use of cookies changes,

or applicable legal or regulatory requirements change.

When appropriate, the Last Updated date at the top of this page will be changed.

If a change materially affects technologies for which consent is required, we may request a new consent choice where appropriate.

14. Contact Men Rewritten
