Sequel Review Cookie Policy
This Sequel review cookie policy explains how the independent Sequel Review website uses cookies and similar technologies, what may happen once you leave for sign-up, and how you can control cookies in your browser. We are not Sequel and do not operate the Sequel app.
What Cookies Are
Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your device. Similar technologies, such as local storage, work in a comparable way by saving small pieces of information in your browser. They help a site function, remember choices or understand how it is used.
Cookies are described in a few common ways:
- First-party cookies are set by the site you are visiting. Third-party cookies are set by another organization.
- Session cookies disappear when you close your browser. Persistent cookies stay until they expire or you delete them.
How This Site Uses Cookies
This is a static review website, and we aim to keep cookie use to a minimum. Where cookies or similar technologies are used, they generally fall into three groups: essential functions, simple preferences and, if enabled, aggregate analytics.
Essential functions keep pages loading and navigation working, including the mobile menu and the buttons that take you to sign-up. Preferences may remember a simple choice, such as how you responded to a cookie notice. Analytics, if we turn them on, would give us combined information about which pages are read, so we can improve the content. We do not name a specific analytics tool here, because none is described as required to use this site.
No advertising cookies are set on the pages of this website.
Cookie Categories
The table below summarizes the categories that may apply. Use of a category is conditional where the table says “may.”
| Category | Purpose | Typical duration | Can you disable it? |
|---|---|---|---|
| Strictly necessary | Keeps pages, navigation and sign-up buttons working as expected. | Session, or a short period. | Not within the site. You can block them in your browser, but some functions may stop working. |
| Preferences | May remember simple choices, such as a cookie-notice response. | Up to about a year. | Yes, through your browser settings. The choice may then be asked again. |
| Analytics (optional) | May provide combined, non-identifying information about how pages are used, if enabled. | Session to about two years, depending on the tool. | Yes, through your browser settings or any choice we offer. |
| Affiliate or partner (only after leaving this site) | May attribute a sign-up to this review site or measure campaigns. | Set by the destination, not by us. | Yes, through your browser settings, or via controls on the destination. |
Cookies After You Leave for Sign-Up
Our sign-up buttons, including Join Sequel and the App Store badge, go through a short redirect page and then on to Sequel’s sign-up. Once you are there, Sequel, its partners or tracking services may set their own cookies or identifiers. This can include identifiers used to credit a visit to this review site, and we do not control it.
Sequel’s App Store privacy section notes that identifiers may be used to track users across apps and websites owned by other companies, and that practices can vary with the features you use. Please read Sequel’s own Terms of Service and Privacy Policy before you register.
How to Manage or Disable Cookies
Most browsers let you view, block or delete cookies. The exact menu names change between versions, but these general steps usually apply:
- Safari on Mac: open Settings, choose Privacy, then manage website data or block all cookies.
- Safari on iPhone and iPad: open the Settings app, select Safari, then choose to block all cookies or clear history and website data.
- Chrome: open Settings, choose Privacy and security, then Third-party cookies or Delete browsing data.
- Firefox: open Settings, choose Privacy & Security, then adjust Cookies and Site Data.
- Edge: open Settings, choose Cookies and site permissions, then manage and delete cookies.
Blocking essential cookies may affect basic functions, such as buttons or navigation. Clearing cookies also removes any saved preferences.
Updates to This Policy
We may revise this policy as the site or applicable practices change. Any update is reflected in the “Last updated” date near the top of this page. For related information about the data we handle, see our Sequel Review privacy policy and our terms and conditions.
