What this technology does
Cookies are small files stored by a browser. Similar tools include local storage, pixels, and software development kits. They can remember a session or preference, measure use, or support content from another service.
Necessary technology
Necessary technology supports security, sign-in, consent records, and preferences such as colour theme. The secure sc_session cookie keeps a signed-in session for up to eight hours. Your consent choice is stored in your browser for up to six months. We also keep a limited server-side audit record containing an anonymous browser identifier, the choices, the notice version, and the decision time. We do not add your IP address or browser details to that record. Your theme choice stays in your browser until you clear or replace it. These features cannot be disabled through our panel because the site needs them to provide a feature you request.
Functional services
If you allow functional services, the site may connect to Giscus and GitHub to show comments and to Substack for newsletter signup. Those providers may receive your IP address, browser information, and activity, and may use their own cookies or storage. They remain blocked until you allow them.
YouTube thumbnails are delivered through our website. The privacy-enhanced YouTube player connects to YouTube only after you choose to play a video, and YouTube may then process device and activity information under its own privacy terms.
Analytics
Analytics can tell us which pages are useful and whether the site works well. No analytics service is active today. If one is added, it will stay off until you consent where consent is required, and this policy will identify the provider and retention period.
Advertising
Where Google AdSense is configured, advertising storage and cross-site measurement stay off until you consent where required. You can change this choice at any time through Cookie settings.
Change your choice
Use Cookie settings in the footer at any time. Rejecting optional services does not prevent access to the main educational content. You can also clear browser storage. Browser controls may block cookies, but blocking necessary cookies can stop sign-in from working.
