Cookie Policy

What this site stores in your browser, and how to stop it. Last updated August 2026.

The short version

You can read every article on this site without accepting any non-essential cookie. We do not use cookie walls, and nothing on this site is gated behind consent.

What we set

Strictly necessary

Purpose Type Lifetime
Remembering your light/dark theme choice Browser local storage (jxtc-theme) Until you clear site data
Session and security tokens, if you log in as a contributor Cookie Session, or as configured

The theme preference never leaves your browser. It is not sent to us, not shared, and not used to identify you.

Analytics

We measure which pages are read, in aggregate, to decide what to write next. This does not identify individual readers and is not used for advertising.

Advertising

Where a page carries third-party advertising, the advertising provider may set its own cookies. This is disclosed on the page and is governed by that provider’s policy as well as our Advertising Disclosure.

Controlling cookies

Every major browser lets you block or delete cookies and clear local storage, usually under Settings → Privacy. Blocking everything from this site costs you nothing except that the site will forget your theme choice on each visit.

Browser-level “do not track” and global privacy control signals are respected where the browser sends them.
