Cookie Policy

What cookies are

Cookies are small files saved in your browser when you visit a site. They remember information across pages and visits — for example, a preference you selected. Similar technologies, such as the browser's local storage, serve equivalent functions; in this policy we refer to both as "cookies."

Categories we use

Necessary

Essential for the site to function and for security. They include the record of your cookie decision, so the notice isn't shown on every visit. They are always active, since without them the site would not work correctly.

Preferences

Store display and navigation choices to improve your experience on future visits. These are optional.

Statistics

Allow us to measure audience in an aggregate way: most-read pages, traffic source, reading time. They help us decide on story topics. They are optional and are only activated with your consent.

Marketing

Would be used for displaying and measuring advertising. The site currently does not display third-party ads; if that changes, these cookies will only be activated after consent, and this policy will be updated.

Duration

• Session cookies: deleted when you close your browser.
• Consent record: kept on your device until you change it or clear your browser data.
• Optional cookies: duration set by the respective provider, when applicable.

Third-party cookies

We do not load non-essential third-party scripts before consent. When a third-party service is used, it will be identified in this policy and in the Privacy Policy.

How to manage your preferences

You can review, block, or delete cookies at any time directly in your browser's settings — most browsers let you manage or clear cookies on a per-site basis. Doing so may affect the functioning of some features on this and other sites.
