Cookie Policy

Cookies we use

Essential cookies. Set by WordPress, our publishing platform, to make the site function correctly — for example, remembering basic session state. The site cannot operate properly without these.

Analytics cookies. Set by Google Analytics to help us understand, in aggregate, which pages are read, how visitors arrive, and how long they stay. These cookies do not identify you personally to us, and we use the data only to improve our content.

Affiliate cookies. Set by retailers — primarily Amazon — when you click a product link on this site. They attribute qualifying purchases to Outdoor Ember so we can earn a commission, as described in our Affiliate Disclosure. Amazon’s attribution cookies are typically short-lived, generally expiring within about 24 hours of your click.

Preference cookies. May be set to remember simple choices you make on the site, such as a dismissed notice, so you are not asked repeatedly.

Third-party cookies

Analytics and affiliate cookies are set by third parties — Google and Amazon respectively — and are governed by those companies’ own privacy and cookie policies. We do not control how third parties use the data their cookies collect.

Managing cookies

Every major browser lets you view, block, and delete cookies. In Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge, these controls live in the browser’s privacy or security settings, where you can clear existing cookies, block third-party cookies, or block cookies entirely. Most browsers also offer a private or incognito mode that discards cookies when the window closes.

Blocking cookies will not prevent you from reading this site, though analytics blocking means your visit is not counted, and blocking affiliate cookies means purchases you make cannot be attributed to us.

Changes and contact

We may update this Cookie Policy as our tools change; the “Last updated” date above reflects the current version. Questions can be sent to hello@outdoorember.com.
