Cookie Policy
Last updated: 23 August 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how Low No Drinker uses cookies and similar technologies on lownodrinker.com.
It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which explains how we collect, use and protect personal information more generally.
Who we are
This website is operated by:
Denise Hamilton-Mace, trading as Low No Drinker
Email: denise@lownodrinker.com
Website: https://www.lownodrinker.com
In this policy, “we”, “us” and “our” refer to Low No Drinker.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your computer, phone or other device when you visit a website.
They can be used to:
- make a website function correctly;
- maintain security;
- remember choices and preferences;
- understand how people use a website;
- provide external features or embedded content; and
- measure visits, referrals or qualifying purchases.
Similar technologies, such as local storage, tracking pixels and software-development tools, may perform comparable functions. References to “cookies” in this policy include these similar technologies where appropriate.
The types of cookies we may use
Essential cookies
Essential cookies are required for the website to operate securely and provide features you have requested.
They may be used to:
- deliver pages and website functions;
- protect the site against misuse;
- maintain website and network security;
- balance traffic between servers;
- remember your cookie choices; and
- support forms or other features you have chosen to use.
Because these cookies are necessary for the website or a service you have requested, they cannot normally be disabled through our cookie controls.
You may be able to block them through your browser, but parts of the website may then stop working correctly.
Analytics cookies
Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors use the website.
They may collect information such as:
- which pages are visited;
- how visitors arrive at the website;
- how long people spend on particular pages;
- which links or features are used;
- general device and browser information;
- approximate location derived from an IP address; and
- whether an error occurred.
We use this information to understand the performance of the site and improve its structure and content.
Where legally required, analytics cookies will not operate unless you accept them.
Functional cookies
Functional cookies support additional features and may remember choices you make.
They may be used by:
- quizzes;
- podcast players;
- video players;
- social-media features;
- contact or subscription forms; and
- other content provided through an external service.
Some features may not work unless the relevant cookies or technology are permitted.
Affiliate and advertising cookies
Some pages may contain affiliate links. If you follow one of these links, a retailer or affiliate network may use cookies or similar technology to record that you arrived from Low No Drinker.
This allows the retailer or affiliate network to determine whether we should receive a commission if you make a qualifying purchase.
These cookies are generally placed when you follow the link to the external website, rather than while you are simply reading the Low No Drinker website. Their use is governed by the retailer’s or affiliate network’s own privacy and cookie information.
We will identify affiliate links or commercially connected content where they appear.
We do not currently use cookies to provide our own targeted advertising unless this is stated in the cookie controls.
Services that may use cookies
The services involved in operating or providing features on the website may include:
| Provider or service | How it is used |
|---|---|
| WordPress.com and Automattic | Website hosting, security, performance and essential website functions |
| Jetpack | Website security, performance and visitor statistics |
| Try Interact | Providing the drinking-type quiz when you choose to use it |
| Podcast or video platforms | Playing audio or video content when it is embedded or activated |
| Affiliate networks and retailers | Recording referrals and attributing qualifying purchases |
| Cookie-consent provider | Recording and applying your cookie choices |
Not every service listed above necessarily places a cookie every time you visit. Whether a cookie is used depends on the page, feature, device, browser and choices you make.
The current cookies and technologies detected on the website, together with their purposes and durations, will be shown through our Cookie Settings where the consent system provides this information.
This list will be checked and updated before the website formally launches and whenever we introduce a significant new service.
Your cookie choices
When you first visit the website, you may be shown cookie controls allowing you to:
- accept non-essential cookies;
- reject non-essential cookies; or
- manage individual categories.
Essential cookies may operate without consent because they are needed for the website or a feature you have requested.
Rejecting non-essential cookies will not prevent you from reading ordinary website content, although some external or interactive features may not operate.
You can change or withdraw your choice at any time through Cookie Settings.
Withdrawing consent does not remove cookies already stored on your device. You can remove these through your browser settings.
Controlling cookies through your browser
Most browsers allow you to:
- see which cookies are stored;
- delete some or all cookies;
- block cookies from particular websites;
- block third-party cookies;
- block all cookies; or
- receive a warning before a cookie is stored.
Instructions differ between browsers and devices. Check the privacy or cookie settings within your browser for the relevant controls.
Blocking all cookies may affect the operation of this and other websites.
External websites
If you follow a link to another website, that organisation may use its own cookies and similar technologies.
We do not control cookies placed by external websites. You should review the privacy and cookie information provided by the relevant organisation.
Changes to this policy
We may update this Cookie Policy when:
- the website changes;
- a service is added, removed or replaced;
- our use of cookies changes; or
- applicable legal requirements or guidance change.
The latest version will be published on this page with its updated date.
