Why This Page Exists
We use the absolute minimum amount of cookies possible to keep the site fast, free, and useful. Nothing sneaky, nothing that follows you around the internet, nothing sold to data brokers. Below is the complete truth about every cookie that ever lands on your device when you visit us.
Strictly Necessary Cookies
A couple of tiny session cookies exist only to remember that you’re the same person while you move from page to page. They disappear the moment you close the browser. Without them some basic features would break, so they’re non-negotiable and exempt from consent banners under most privacy laws.
Analytics Cookies
We run standard Google Analytics with every privacy-friendly setting turned on: IP anonymization enabled, no data sharing with Google products, no advertising features, no user-level tracking, no retention beyond 14 months. The cookie simply tells us how many people read the site, which pages are popular, and whether you arrived from Google or somewhere else. It never knows who you are.
Advertising Cookies
The site stays free because a few non-intrusive ads appear on article pages. Those ads are delivered by reputable partners who set their own cookies to count impressions and prevent the same ad from annoying you fifty times. We have turned off all interest-based targeting, remarketing, and cross-site tracking on our side. The partners still drop a cookie, but it contains no personal information and expires quickly.
Third-Party Content
Occasionally we embed a chart or public data table hosted on another domain. That external server may set its own cookie, but it’s usually just a preference cookie so the chart loads faster next time. We keep these embeds rare and only from trusted sources.
Your Control
You can block or delete every cookie we or our partners set and the site still works perfectly. Most browsers let you refuse third-party cookies entirely, enable Do Not Track, or wipe everything on exit. If you use privacy extensions or brave browsing modes, you were probably never cookied in the first place.
No Fingerprinting, No Tracking Pixels, No Funny Business
We do not use canvas fingerprinting, evercookies, supercookies, or any technique designed to identify you after you’ve said no. What you see above is literally everything that touches your browser.
Changes to This Policy
If we ever add a new type of cookie or switch providers, we’ll update this page immediately and note the date at the top. Until you see a new date, this is the final word.
