Privacy and cookies

Nothing here is about you

This is a reading site. There is nothing to sign up for and nothing to buy.

What is never collected

There are no accounts, no comments and no newsletter, so there is no name, email address or password to hold. Nothing you read here is tied to you personally, and nothing about you is sold or shared.

Cookies, and the choice you are given

Nothing that sets a cookie runs until you choose. If you allow analytics, Google Analytics sets a small number of cookies (named _ga) so I can see which truths people actually read and how they found them. Until you choose, it runs in a cookieless mode that stores nothing on your device. Advertising features stay switched off whatever you pick, because this site carries no advertising.

You can change your mind whenever you like, and choosing “No thanks” also deletes any Google Analytics cookies already set.

Hosting

The site runs on Vercel, which reports anonymous, aggregate page-speed and traffic numbers. Those set no cookies and identify no one. Your cookie choice itself is kept in your browser's local storage so you are not asked again on every page, and it never leaves your device.

Sources and corrections

Every entry links to a source you can check yourself, and an entry that turns out to be wrong gets rewritten to say so rather than quietly deleted. About explains how entries are chosen, checked and corrected.
