What a cookie is, plainly

It is a small file a site stores in your browser so it can recognise that browser on a later visit. It gives no access to your files, your camera or your brokerage account; it is used to count visits, remember a preference and pick an ad.

Some are set by us, others by companies that deliver part of the page — that is the case for the ads, the quote widget and the video player.

The quote box belongs to a third party

The quote you see on each page is a TradingView box, loaded from their domain. What gets stored in your browser inside that box is decided by TradingView, under their terms and privacy policy, not ours: we do not receive, process or store anything that happens inside it.

If you block third-party scripts, the quote box simply does not appear and the rest of the page keeps working — including the declared dividend figures and the official links, which are the part that depends only on us.

Ads and consent in the European Economic Area

This site serves readers in the UK, Spain, France, Germany, Italy and Portugal. In those regions, and also in Switzerland, personalised advertising may only be shown with consent collected by a platform certified under the industry framework. That is why a notice appears there asking first — and your choice counts: if you refuse, ads still run, but without personalisation.

That notice is not a home-made banner of ours: it is Google’s own consent platform, switched on in the AdSense console, because a banner we wrote ourselves would not be certified under the industry framework and would carry no legal weight. Outside those regions you can turn personalisation off at any time in your Google account ad settings or through the industry opt-out tools listed on the privacy page.

How to delete or block them

Every browser lets you delete stored cookies and block new ones, per site or in general. Look for "cookies" or "site data" in your browser settings.

Blocking everything does not break this site: you can still read every page, with the dividend figures, the reference dates and the links to the official source. What may stop working is the quote box, the embedded video and the audience count.
