What Cookies and Similar Technologies Are
A cookie is a small browser file used to remember a state. Local storage also keeps data inside the browser. Pixels, identifiers and analytics scripts can measure visits and interactions.
Necessary and Functional Storage
These items support language choice, security, sign-in state where sign-in features are used, and locally remembered interactions. Blocking them in browser settings may affect some features.
- NEXT_LOCALE: remembers the selected language with SameSite=Lax for up to one year
- Local storage may remember sign-in state, user step, recorded article ratings or reactions, and dismissed notices in that browser
Analytics Cookies and Tools
The tools below load on public pages using deferred or lazy strategies. They may use cookies, identifiers and technical data to measure visits, traffic source, navigation, clicks, scrolling, errors and user experience.
- Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics for tag management, traffic and event analysis
- Microsoft Clarity for behavioural metrics, heatmaps and session replay subject to the provider's masking controls
- Yektanet for analytics and measurement on public pages; its direct integration is not run on the focused 30-day campaign landing page, while tags configured through Google Tag Manager remain subject to that service's container configuration
Email Delivery and Pixels
Website forms use SendGrid for email delivery. Depending on the sender account settings, SendGrid may record delivery, open, click, bounce or spam-report events. Optional marketing messages should rely on separate consent and an unsubscribe path; messages concerning a request you submitted are transactional in nature.
When Analytics Loads
Analytics scripts load using deferred or lazy strategies so they do not block the main page rendering path. The direct Yektanet integration is not run on the focused 30-day campaign landing page; Google Tag Manager still loads according to its current container configuration.
Managing Your Choice
You can review, delete or block cookies and storage through your browser settings. Blocking some necessary storage may affect language choice, sign-in or locally remembered website interactions.
