Cookie policy

1. What cookies and local storage are

A cookie is a small text file a website stores in your browser to remember information between visits. Similar technologies include local storage, where a small amount of data is kept in your browser on your device. Together these help a site function, remember preferences, and measure usage.

2. What we use on this site

We keep this minimal. The Site uses two things:

No advertising or marketing cookies. We do not use cookies for advertising, retargeting, or selling data, and we do not allow third parties to do so through this Site.

3. Categories

Strictly necessary

The theme-preference local storage entry (codex-theme) is functional: it remembers your display choice so the Site looks the way you left it. It is set only when you use the theme toggle and is not used for tracking.

Analytics

Google Analytics cookies help us understand, in aggregate, which pages are visited and how visitors reach the Site, so we can improve it. This data is statistical and is not used to identify you personally.

4. Third-party cookies

The analytics cookies described above are set by Google as a third-party service provider. Google processes this data under its own terms. You can review Google's Privacy Policy and how Google uses cookies. Our hosting and content-delivery provider, Cloudflare, may also set strictly necessary cookies for security and reliability.

5. How to manage or refuse cookies

You are in control. You can:

Blocking strictly necessary or functional storage may affect how the Site works (for example, your theme choice may not be remembered).

6. Consent

By continuing to use the Site, you consent to our use of the cookies and local storage described here. Because we use only strictly necessary, functional, and aggregate analytics technologies (no advertising cookies), our approach is limited and privacy-respecting. Where required by law, we will obtain consent before setting non-essential cookies.

7. Changes to this policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date above. Your continued use of the Site after changes take effect means you accept the updated policy.
