Cookie policy

1. What we use cookies for

Cookies keep you signed in, remember your theme and reading preferences, and let us measure how the site is used. We minimise their use.

2. Categories of cookies

Three categories, named so you can audit them in browser dev tools.

• ›Essential — sign-in session, security tokens, theme preference. Cannot be switched off.
• ›Analytics — anonymised page view data. Aggregated. Can be switched off.
• ›Advertising — used by programmatic ad partners to serve ads. Can be switched off; ads will still appear but be less relevant.

3. Managing cookies

Use the cookie controls in our footer, your browser settings, or your account preferences. Turning off Essential cookies will sign you out.

4. Third-party cookies

Our programmatic ad partner may set their own cookies subject to their privacy policy. We do not set tracking cookies of our own outside the categories above.
