Cookie Policy

This Policy explains how we use cookies and similar technologies (local storage, pixels, SDKs) under the ePrivacy Directive 2002/58/EC, the UK Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR), and the GDPR.

1. Categories

  • Strictly necessary — authentication, session, security, load balancing. Set without consent (PECR exemption).
  • Functional — language, layout density, saved preferences. Consent required.
  • Analytics — anonymised usage metrics (page views, reading depth). Consent required in the EU/UK.
  • Marketing — newsletter conversion measurement. Off by default.

2. Managing Consent

You can change your choices at any time via the "Cookie settings" link in the footer, or in your browser settings. Refusing non-essential cookies does not affect access to the Service.

3. Third Parties

Stripe (payment fraud), Cloudflare (bot mitigation), and our analytics provider may set cookies on our behalf under contractual processor terms.

4. Do Not Track / Global Privacy Control

We honour the Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal as a valid opt-out of "sale" and "sharing" under CCPA/CPRA and Colorado/Connecticut/Virginia equivalents.
