Cookie Policy
Effective March 1, 2025
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device by a website. They allow the site to remember your preferences and session state between page loads. We keep our use of cookies minimal and purposeful.
Cookies We Use
| Cookie | Purpose | Type | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| access_token | Authenticates your session | Necessary | 15 minutes |
| refresh_token | Renews your session without re-login | Necessary | 7 days |
Both cookies are HTTP-only and Secure, meaning they cannot be read by JavaScript and are only transmitted over HTTPS. They are strictly necessary for authentication and cannot be opted out of while using an account.
Browser (Local) Storage
In addition to cookies, we store non-sensitive user preference data (such as your display name and role) in your browser's localStorage. This data is used purely to improve UI responsiveness and does not contain any sensitive information. It is cleared when you log out.
Third-Party Cookies
Cloudflare Turnstile
We use Cloudflare Turnstile on our newsletter form to prevent automated abuse. Turnstile is designed to be privacy-friendly and does not set tracking cookies or build user profiles. It operates using a challenge mechanism that respects user privacy.
Sentry
Sentry is used for error monitoring. It may set a session identifier to help correlate error reports. No personally identifiable information is sent to Sentry beyond what is needed to diagnose technical issues.
Analytics
We do not currently use advertising cookies, behavioural tracking cookies, or third-party analytics platforms such as Google Analytics.
Managing Cookies
You can control cookies through your browser settings. Note that disabling authentication cookies will prevent you from logging in to your account. Visiting the site without an account does not require any cookies to function.
For instructions on managing cookies in your browser, refer to your browser's help documentation.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy as our use of cookies changes. The effective date at the top of this page will be updated accordingly.
