Draft for review. This wording has not been checked by a solicitor and must be reviewed by the owner and a legal adviser before it is relied on. It is not a statement that the site is legally compliant.

Sixth Tackle keeps a few small things in your browser so the app works, and uses analytics only if you say yes.

Change your choice at any time with Cookie settings at the bottom of every page. Saying no, or withdrawing later, removes the analytics items listed below.

Things that load from other sites

Some content loads directly from other services, which can see your internet address when your browser fetches it: video thumbnails from YouTube, show artwork from podcast hosts, and story pictures from publishers' own websites. Our fonts and code are served from our own site. We do not let these services set advertising cookies through Sixth Tackle. When you tap a story you go to the publisher's own site, which has its own cookie policy.
