Loquax Cookies & What They Mean

The EU have decided that UK websites need to explain how websites use cookies. In order to be compliant we have put together the following explanation! We use 'cookies' in order to be able to offer user tools such as the tracker and forums. With some links out of Loquax, namely affiliate links (see below), you may get third party cookies for other purposes such as order tracking in online shops or for targeting advertisements to particular types of visitor.

What Do They Do?

This site uses cookies for numerous things, including:

  • Registration and maintaining your preferences. This includes ensuring that you can stay logged in and keeping the site in the language or appearance that you requested.
  • Analytics. This allows us to determine how people are using the site and improve it.
  • Advertising cookies (possibly third-party). If this site displays advertising, cookies may be set by the advertisers to determine who has viewed an ad or similar things. These cookies may be set by third parties, in which case this site has no ability to read or write these cookies.
  • Other third-party cookies for things like Facebook or Twitter sharing. These cookies will generally be set by the third-party independently, so this site will have no ability to access them.

Blocking & Deleting Loquax Cookies

If you do not wish to accept cookies from Loquax your usage of the site will be extremely limited, for example, you will be unable to login. The best way to block cookies is to use the options provided by your web browser. You can find out how to block and delete cookies at AboutCookies.org.

Affiliate Marketing

Loquax, like many other sites, uses affiliate marketing to generate revenue. These links earn us commission based on sales or other user activity. Our affiliate links can mainly be found in advertising positions like banners, in offers and other sections like win a house and pay to enter prize draws. Some of our competition listings will have an affiliate link. When possible we will endeavour to indicate these links with a #AD.

Affiliate links have no effect on you or our editorial decisions. In the main, most competition links are not affiliate links. However when you do use affiliate links you will receive a cookie that shows that you have clicked through from Loquax. Similarly some advertisers may place cookies on your computer showing that you saw them on Loquax. Loquax has no access to these third party cookies.
