Cookie Policy for this guide site

This Cookie Policy explains the use of cookie files and similar technologies on Break LibreOffice Guides. It describes what cookies are, which types this site uses, and how you can manage them in your browser. It should be read together with the privacy policy.

One sheet at a time, the task gets done. This page follows the same order: first what a cookie is, then the kinds this site may set, then how to block or delete them.

The basics

What cookies are

Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your device when you visit. They allow the site to remember preferences or to support basic functions during a visit. A guide site like this one does not need cookies to show its text pages, but storage can help the browser and the hosting service keep a visit working smoothly.

Similar technologies include local storage and other browser storage mechanisms. This policy uses the word cookies to cover those storage methods where relevant, so a reference to a cookie here can also mean a similar item stored by your browser on this site.

Needed to load

Essential cookies

Essential cookies are needed for the site to work, such as security or load balancing provided by the hosting service. They do not require consent in many cases because the site cannot function without them. Their use is limited to the minimum needed for operation.

Removing them in your browser may affect how the site loads. If a page fails to appear after you clear all cookies, try reloading once; the browser will set the essential items again if the hosting service needs them to deliver the page.

Your choices

Preference cookies

Preference cookies remember choices you make on the site, such as a display or consent choice where the site offers one. They improve usability across visits but are not needed for the core content, which stays readable without them.

You can delete them in your browser at any time. The site will recreate them only if a preference is set again, so deleting one simply returns the site to its default choice on your next visit.

All types Essential Analytics Advertising Third-party
Aggregate useGuide maintenance

Analytics cookies

Analytics cookies, where used, help the site understand aggregate usage, such as which guides are read most often. That information helps us maintain and update guides that readers use, for example by checking whether the Writer, Calc or Base guides still match the tasks people search for.

Analytics data should be aggregated and not used to identify you personally where the site controls it. The current setup for this site is described in the consent or settings area where one is provided, and this policy will be updated if that setup changes.

Editorial pagesNo cross-site profiles

Advertising cookies

This site does not use advertising cookies to build profiles across other websites. Guide pages are editorial content, not ad placements, and reading a LibreOffice guide here does not create an advertising profile elsewhere.

If ad-related storage is ever introduced, this policy will be updated before it is used. Any change will state the purpose and the provider involved, so there is no quiet switch to advertising storage later.

External linksOfficial resources

Third-party cookies

Some pages link to official LibreOffice resources, such as the download site or online help. Those third-party sites may set their own cookies under their own policies when you visit them.

This site does not control third-party cookie practices. Check the privacy and cookie pages on those sites for their rules before you sign in or download anything there.

Your browser, your choice

How to manage cookies

You can block or delete cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers offer controls to clear cookies for all sites or for a single site, usually under privacy or site settings. To clear only this site, look for the site information control beside the address and remove stored data for break.ie.

Blocking essential cookies may prevent the site from loading correctly. Blocking non-essential cookies will not remove guide content, which is delivered as text pages, so you can keep reading the Writer, Calc and Base guides with storage switched off.

Cookie consent and changes

Where consent is required for non-essential cookies, the site asks for it through a consent mechanism before those cookies are set. Withdrawing consent can be done through the same mechanism or through browser controls.

This policy will be updated if the types of cookies used on the site change. The updated version will be published on this page, with the date at the top changed to match the update.

Retention of cookie data

Essential and preference cookies are kept for the period stated by the browser or the site setting that creates them. Session cookies end when the browser session ends, while persistent cookies last longer and remain until their expiry date or until you delete them.

Analytics data, where used, is retained only in aggregate form where possible. Shorter retention is preferred where the purpose allows it, and clearing your browser storage removes the cookies stored on your own device.

  • Session cookies end when you close the browser.
  • Persistent cookies stay until they expire or you delete them.
  • Deleting site data in your browser removes stored cookies for break.ie.

Questions

Contact about cookies

Questions about cookies on this site can be sent through the contact page. Please mention that your message concerns cookies and describe the browser you use. That detail helps us check whether a setting or a browser default caused the issue.

Cookie questions do not need personal data beyond a contact method for a reply. You can also read how we handle personal data in the Privacy Policy, or return to the home page to browse the guides.
