Cookie Policy

1. What is a cookie?

Cookies are small text files that a website you visit saves in your browser. The browser’s local storage may also be used for similar purposes. In this policy, both are referred to as “cookies”.

2. Necessary cookies

These are required for the site to work; they do not require consent and cannot be turned off:

• Session cookies: keep you signed in after you sign in
• Sign-in code cookie: kept for a short time until the email code step of signing in is completed
• Security: bot protection (Cloudflare Turnstile) prevents abuse of forms
• Preference records: your cookie preference, your draft in the demo editor and whether you have seen the editor guide are stored in your browser

3. Analytics cookies

Help us understand how the site is used (Google Analytics). Analytics cookies are on by default; you can turn them off at any time using the “Cookie settings” link at the bottom of each page, and once you do, analytics will not be loaded.

4. Sites built with BirSitem

Visits to sites built with BirSitem are counted without using cookies. If the site owner has connected their own Google Analytics account, analytics cookies on that site also run only if you give your consent.

Videos, maps and embedded content that the site owner adds to a page (e.g. YouTube, Google Maps) are provided by the relevant service and may use that service’s cookies.

5. Managing your preferences

You can change your preference at any time using the “Cookie settings” link at the bottom of each page. You can also delete or block cookies in your browser settings; if you block necessary cookies, you will not be able to sign in.
