What is a cookie?
A cookie is a small text file written to your device by a website. Cookies allow a site to recognise repeat visits, remember preferences and, in many cases, attribute the click that brought a visitor to the page. Some cookies are essential to the operation of the site, others are optional.
Essential cookies
Essential cookies are required for UKStarList5.com to function. They include session identifiers used to maintain a single browsing session and security tokens used to defend the site against automated abuse. Essential cookies cannot be disabled while you are using the site.
Analytics cookies
Analytics cookies tell us, in aggregate, how visitors find the site, which pages they read and where the user experience can be improved. The data collected is grouped before it reaches our editorial desk and does not identify individual readers.
Marketing & attribution cookies
Marketing cookies record the campaign, source and click identifiers that brought you to the site. They are used to attribute a click to the campaign that referred it, to calculate commission on any partner sign-up, and to detect duplicate or fraudulent clicks. Common identifiers we record include gclid for Google Ads, fbc and fbp for Meta campaigns, and an internal session token used to correlate the click with any postback the partner sends back.
Third-party cookies
Some cookies are set by third parties whose services we use (for example, analytics vendors, advertising networks and the operator destinations themselves). UKStarList5 does not control these cookies; each provider publishes its own cookie statement. When you click out to an operator, that operator may also place its own cookies on your device.
Managing cookies
You can control cookie behaviour through your browser's settings. Major browsers allow you to block third-party cookies, clear cookies on exit, or refuse cookies entirely. Disabling cookies will not stop you using UKStarList5.com but may affect the accuracy of our audience reporting and partner attribution.
Retention
Session cookies are discarded when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain on your device for as long as is necessary to perform the function for which they were set — typically between thirty days and twelve months for analytics and attribution.
Changes to this policy
We may update this cookies policy when we add, remove or change the cookies we use. The current version is always the one published on this page.
