01What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device. Similar technologies include local storage, session storage, and pixels. They help websites remember preferences, measure traffic, or deliver functionality.

02How we use them

We use the following categories on the Site:

• Strictly necessary — required for core operation and security. For example, remembering your theme choice may use localStorage so the correct color scheme loads before the first paint.
• Analytics — if GA_MEASUREMENT_ID is configured for the deployment, Google Analytics may set cookies or use similar storage to distinguish sessions and measure page views in aggregate. When analytics is not configured, this category is inactive.

03Third-party cookies

When analytics is enabled, Google may set cookies subject to Google's cookie policy. We do not control third-party cookies beyond our configuration choices.

04Managing preferences

You can control cookies through your browser:

• Block or delete cookies in your browser settings.
• Use private browsing modes to limit persistent storage.
• Install browser extensions that limit tracking, keeping in mind they may affect Site functionality.

Blocking strictly necessary storage may break features such as theme persistence. Blocking analytics cookies limits our ability to understand aggregate readership.

05Do Not Track

There is no consistent industry response to DNT signals. We currently treat DNT as a non-standard browser preference; use cookie controls in your browser for a reliable choice.

06Updates

If we add new categories of cookies or materially change how we use them, we will update this policy and the "Last updated" date. Review our Privacy Policy for broader data practices.
