Cookie policy
Last updated 27 August 2026
Nothing optional runs until you choose. You can change your mind at any time — — and refusing changes nothing about how the site works.
Strictly necessary
| What | Why | Lasts |
|---|
| oc-consent | Remembers the choice you make in the cookie panel | 12 months |
|---|
| oc-draft | Keeps an unsent story on your device so a failed submit doesn’t eat your words | Until sent or cleared |
|---|
| Cloudflare Turnstile | Bot check on the submit form. Set by challenges.cloudflare.com | Session |
|---|
These can’t be switched off — without them the site doesn’t function.
Optional — only with your consent
| What | Why | Lasts |
|---|
| Google Analytics (_ga, _ga_*) | Aggregate visit counts. IP anonymised, 14-month retention, no cross-site profiles | Up to 13 months |
|---|
| Google AdSense | Advertising that pays for the hosting | Varies by cookie |
