Cookies and purposes

This page explains cookies, browser storage and caching for readers of Buy Me Tonic’s coffee brewing, bean and equipment guides. Cookies are small pieces of data a website can store in your browser. Depending on their purpose, they may support site functions, remember choices or help measure visits.

Our cookie inventory, storage purposes and expiry periods are not publicly specified. We therefore cannot identify which cookies are essential, which are optional or how long particular entries remain. The examples on this page explain how these technologies work; they are not a confirmed list of technologies used here.

Analytics and advertising

Google Ad Manager advertising is configured on this site. The configured formats include display, anchor, interstitial and rewarded ads; configuration does not guarantee that an ad appears on every visit. When Google advertising services load, your browser may send Google the page URL, IP address and related identifiers. Google may use cookies or similar technologies for ad delivery, measurement, fraud prevention and, depending on your choices and settings, personalization. See How Google uses partner-site information and Google cookie guidance. You can manage personalization preferences through Google Ad Settings. A site-specific cookie inventory and consent-platform configuration have not been verified; this notice does not claim that continued use constitutes consent.

Some measurement tools use cookies, while others can send requests without them. Blocking cookies alone does not necessarily stop analytics requests or ordinary server logging. Our logging practices, other provider arrangements and related retention periods are also not publicly specified.

Consent and browser choices

You can use your browser’s privacy settings to inspect stored site data, block third-party cookies, restrict cookies more broadly or remove data associated with this site. Controls vary by browser and device. Blocking storage may affect features on websites that rely on it, and deleting stored choices can cause those sites to ask for them again.

A site-specific consent tool and its settings have not been confirmed, so we cannot give instructions for a particular banner or promise that a preference signal is recognized. Private browsing is not a guarantee of anonymity. Clearing cookies does not itself erase records already held by a website or another service. See our Privacy page for related privacy information.

Browser and server cache

A browser cache stores copies of files, such as page content and styles, to reduce repeat downloads. Server or delivery-network caches can store copies before they reach your browser. Caching is different from cookie storage: clearing one may not clear the other. Our server-cache configuration, delivery providers and cache lifetimes are not publicly specified.

If a coffee guide appears out of date, try reloading it or clearing cached files through your browser’s settings. This may retrieve a newer copy, but it cannot guarantee that every upstream copy has refreshed. Clearing your browser cache does not delete server logs or server-held records. For equipment cleaning, descaling or pressure-related instructions, check the current manual for your exact model rather than relying on a saved guide; never bypass safety interlocks or attempt unqualified internal electrical repairs.

Contact and changes

If you find conflicting cookie information, a useful report would identify the page, the browser and the cookie or setting involved. Avoid including passwords, session-cookie values or other sensitive identifiers. This page should be revised when cookie purposes, providers, consent controls or caching arrangements are verified or change; its general explanations should not be read as a complete technical inventory.
