1. What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device when you visit. They are widely used to make websites function correctly, operate more efficiently, and provide information to the owners of the site. Cookies set by the website operator are called first-party cookies. Cookies set by parties other than the website operator are called third-party cookies.

Cookies may be session cookies — which are erased when you close your browser — or persistent cookies, which remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them.

2. How We Use Cookies

We use cookies in the following categories. Your consent is sought via the cookie banner on your first visit. You may update your preferences at any time using the Cookie Settings link in our footer.

3. Essential Cookies

These cookies are strictly necessary for the website to function. They cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually only set in response to actions you take — such as setting your cookie preferences. You may configure your browser to block these cookies, but some parts of the website may then not function correctly.

Cookie Name	Purpose	Duration
og_cookie_consent	Stores your cookie consent preferences so the banner is not shown on every page view.	12 months
og_session	Maintains site session state for navigation and form interactions.	Session

4. Analytics Cookies

These cookies allow us to count visits and understand how visitors move around the website. All information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous. We use this data to improve how the publication is organised and to understand which content is of most interest to readers. These cookies are set only if you have accepted the analytics category when the cookie banner was presented, or subsequently via Cookie Settings.

Cookie Name	Purpose	Duration
_ga	Google Analytics — registers a unique identifier used to generate statistical data on how visitors use the site.	2 years
_ga_*	Google Analytics 4 — used to persist session state across page requests.	2 years
_gid	Google Analytics — registers a unique identifier used to generate statistical data on a per-session basis.	24 hours

5. Functional Cookies

These cookies allow the website to remember choices you make — such as your display preferences — and provide enhanced, personalised features. The information these cookies collect may be anonymised and they cannot track your browsing activity on other websites. These cookies are set only where you have consented to the functional category.

Cookie Name	Purpose	Duration
og_pref_theme	Remembers display preferences set during the current session.	30 days
og_read_history	Keeps a local record of articles you have read in order to surface relevant related content.	90 days

6. Third-Party Cookies

When you visit pages on this website, third-party services may set their own cookies. We have no direct control over the cookies these services place. The third-party services currently present on this site include:

Google Fonts — font resources loaded from fonts.googleapis.com. Google may set performance cookies to serve the font files efficiently.
jsDelivr CDN — JavaScript and CSS libraries loaded from cdn.jsdelivr.net. jsDelivr may set cookies related to content delivery.

We encourage you to read the privacy and cookie policies of these third parties directly.

7. Managing Your Cookie Preferences

You have several options for managing cookies:

Cookie Settings panel — use the Cookie Settings link in our footer to review and update your consent at any time. Your previous choice will be updated immediately.
Browser controls — most browsers allow you to refuse cookies or to alert you when cookies are being sent. Consult your browser's help documentation for instructions specific to your browser and version.
Opt-out tools — for Google Analytics specifically, you may install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before your consent was withdrawn. Essential cookies cannot be disabled via our consent mechanism as they are required for the website to function.

8. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time, for example as new cookie categories are introduced or existing practices are revised. The date at the top of this page shows when it was last revised. Where changes are material, we will re-present the cookie consent banner so that you have a fresh opportunity to review and confirm your preferences.
