Cookie Policy
What we store on your device, and why.
Last updated
The short version
This site sets no advertising cookies and no cross-site tracking cookies. The only thing we store by default is your light/dark theme preference, and that never leaves your browser.
What we store
| Name | Type | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
theme | Local storage | Remembers whether you chose light or dark mode | Until you clear it |
_ga | Cookie (Google Analytics) | Distinguishes returning visitors so page views can be counted in aggregate | 2 years |
_ga_TDD0MM4TM7 | Cookie (Google Analytics) | Maintains session state for this specific property | 2 years |
Analytics
We use Google Analytics 4 to understand which articles are useful and how readers find them. It is configured with IP anonymisation enabled, and we have not enabled Google Signals, so no cross-device advertising profile is built from your visit. The data is used for measurement only, is never used for advertising, and is never shared with ad networks.
If you would rather not be counted, install theGoogle Analytics opt-out browser add-on, block the cookies in your browser settings, or use any content blocker. Nothing on this site breaks if you do.
Third-party requests
Web fonts are requested from Google Fonts. This does not set a cookie, but the request necessarily discloses your IP address to that service. Self-hosting the fonts removes that request entirely if it matters to you.
Controlling cookies
You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings — every major browser supports this under Privacy or Site Settings. Clearing local storage will reset your theme preference to follow your operating system. Nothing on this site breaks if you block all storage.
Do Not Track
We do not perform cross-site tracking, so a DNT or Global Privacy Control signal changes nothing about how we treat you.
