Cookie Policy

Our approach

Cookies and similar technologies are small files or markers that a website can store in your browser. Many sites use them for advertising and to track people across the web. We don't. We use only what is needed to run the site, such as keeping you signed in, plus, on public pages and with your agreement, analytics to understand in aggregate how the site is used. We never use analytics inside the program.

What we actually use

• Sign-in cookies (strictly necessary). When you sign in with the code we email you, our site sets cookies that keep your session open, so you stay signed in on that device. Two more are short-lived and used only while you sign in: one remembers your email for 15 minutes while you type the code, the other expires after 30 seconds and stops the page from getting stuck in a loop of redirects. They are set by our own site, are not used for analytics or tracking, and without them you cannot sign in.
• On-device memory (strictly necessary). To remember your analytics choice, your light or dark setting and your language choice (made with the language switcher, or with the bar at the top of the page, even just by closing it), we store small markers in your browser's local storage. They stay on your device, are never sent to us, and are used only for those features.
• Analytics, only with consent. On public pages we use Google Analytics 4. It does not load and sets no cookies until you accept it in our banner. When you accept, it uses cookies to count visits and measure use in aggregate. We run it with Google Signals off and advertising features denied, so it is not used to profile you or to follow you around the web. It is never active inside the program.
• Payment (on Stripe's pages). When you proceed to checkout, our payment provider Stripe may set cookies on its own pages for security and fraud prevention. These are governed by Stripe's own cookie and privacy policies.

Analytics and your choice

The first time you visit a public page, a banner asks whether you agree to analytics. Until you choose, Google Analytics does not load and sets no cookies. If you accept, it loads and we measure use in aggregate, with advertising features and Google Signals turned off. If you decline, nothing analytics-related is loaded and we remember that choice so we do not ask again.

You can change your mind at any time. Use the Cookie settings control in the footer of any public page to reopen the banner and accept or decline again.

Managing your choice and cookies

You can reopen the analytics banner at any time with Cookie settings, in the footer of every public page. You can also clear or block cookies and local storage through your browser settings. Blocking the on-device memory simply means the site will not remember your analytics choice, your light or dark setting or your language. Blocking the sign-in cookies means you cannot sign in to the program. Blocking cookies on Stripe's checkout pages may prevent payment from completing.

Changes to this policy

If we ever introduce technologies that require consent, we will update this policy and put the appropriate controls in place before doing so. We will change the date at the top when we make changes.
