Cookie and Cache Policy

Last updated: 23 September 2026

This page explains cookies, similar browser technologies and cached copies of pages on Daily Utensils. They serve different purposes: a cookie stores a small value used by a website or provider, while a cache keeps a copy of a file or response so it can load again more quickly. Clearing one does not necessarily clear the other.

Storage used for website functions

WordPress can use cookies for signed-in administration. Most readers do not need an account. The contact form uses a request token and a temporary server-side rate limit; submitting it does not subscribe you to marketing. Essential security functions are different from advertising cookies.

Google Ad Manager

Editorial pages on Daily Utensils load Google Ad Manager (GPT) to request display, anchor, interstitial, and rewarded ads. Those requests can include the page URL, browser information, and advertising cookies used to choose and measure ads. About, Contact, Privacy, Terms, Cookie, and Disclaimer pages do not load that ad code. Watching a rewarded ad can set a first-party cookie named dailyutensils_access for six hours so interstitial and rewarded requests pause; display and anchor ads can still load. If a rewarded ad does not fill, the site stays readable.

What caching means for readers

Cloudflare and the origin server can cache images, stylesheets, scripts or public pages. Your browser also maintains its own cache. A cached page can briefly show older information after an edit. Reload the page if something looks stale. For product details and prices, verify the current seller page rather than assuming a cached copy is current. Treat a product description, material claim or price as a starting point. Confirm the current specification, care instructions and price on the seller’s own page before you buy.

Contact pages and private information

The reader-contact page is sent with no-cache headers to reduce the chance of an expired form token. Submitted messages are stored in the private site inbox, not inserted into a public page. Do not share sensitive records through a public browser or leave a signed-in session open on a shared device.

Managing your choices

Use your browser’s site settings to inspect or delete cookies and site data for dailyutensils.com. Most browsers let you block third-party cookies, though this may affect ads or embedded features. Clearing the browser cache removes saved files; clearing cookies can sign you out of an admin session. These actions do not delete a message already submitted to the site or erase records held by Google or Cloudflare.

For Google ad personalisation, visit My Ad Center or Ads Settings. Other participating providers offer controls through YourAdChoices. A cookie policy itself does not grant consent, and continuing to read a page is not a substitute for a required consent choice.

Questions or a stale page

Tell us the page URL, your browser and what appears out of date through Contact Us. Do not send browser cookies, login tokens or payment card numbers, account passwords, order records or private household information. For information about retention and privacy requests, read the Privacy Policy.
