At a glance
- Sign-in storage supports your account.
- Optional analytics is a separate choice.
- Tracking choices must not prevent ordinary reading.
Storage needed for your account
The authentication client persists sign-in sessions in browser storage so you can use account features. Local UI choices may also be stored by the browser. Clearing browser storage can sign you out and reset those choices.
A full inventory of cookie and storage names, purposes, durations and provider changes is required before launch. This page does not claim that every essential storage item has already been audited.
Optional analytics
Readership analytics requires an explicit choice and honours Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control. Its browser identifier is kept in memory, rotated daily and not used as a persistent cross-site identifier. Signed-in analytics requires the account preference as well.
Marketing permission is a separate account choice. Neither analytics nor marketing should be preselected, bundled into acceptance of terms, or required to buy membership. Refusing optional measurement must not block reading.
Change your choices
Signed-in readers can review analytics, product offers and briefing choices on their account page. Anonymous-reader choice controls and their proof of consent still need review. Browser privacy signals can also stop analytics collection.
Third-party websites opened from source or event links have their own storage and privacy practices. Read their notices before providing information.
Before launch
These remaining decisions explain why this page is a working draft.
- Complete the browser storage inventory with expiry values.
- Review regional consent requirements and withdrawal controls.
- Verify anonymous choices and prevent optional collection before consent.
