How we track this site
We do not run a cookie-consent pop-up. Instead, here is the complete, specific list: every cookie and local-storage entry this site sets, why, and a control to turn analytics off. We keep this list current as trackers change.
We do not use advertising cookies, we do not sell data, and we do not build advertising or cross-site profiles. The only third party here is Google Analytics, used to see which pages are read. See the Privacy notice for the rest of what the site collects (such as email you send us).
Every tracker, by name
| Name | Set by | Purpose | Kind | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| _ga | Google Analytics | Tells repeat visits from the same browser apart, so pages are not double-counted | Cookie | 2 years |
| _ga_<container id> | Google Analytics | Holds the state of your current visit (which pages, in what order) | Cookie | 2 years |
| ws-theme | This site | Remembers your light/dark choice. Never sent to us or anyone else | Local storage, not a cookie | Until you clear it |
| ws-analytics-optout | This site | Remembers that you turned analytics off on this device | Local storage, not a cookie | Until you clear it |
What Google Analytics sends
Pages viewed, approximate location (city-level, from IP address), device and browser type, and a randomly generated identifier. Google's advertising features are switched off in our configuration: Google signals and ad personalisation never run on this site, so Analytics data is not joined with an advertising profile. Data may be processed by Google outside India. We look at the results in aggregate; we do not track individual visitors by name.
