What cookies are
Cookies are small files a site stores in your browser. Some are needed for the site to work at all; others tell us how the site is being used.
Strictly necessary
These keep you signed in and let members read subscriber-only articles. The site cannot work without them, so they are set without asking. They are set by our publishing platform, [HOSTING / PUBLISHING PLATFORM].
Analytics
[If you use analytics, name the provider, say what it measures, whether the data is aggregated or identifies individuals, and how long it is retained. If you use none, say so here — it is a genuine selling point.]
Embedded content
Articles sometimes embed content from other services — video, social posts, maps. Those services can set their own cookies once the embed loads, and their own policies apply. [List the services you actually embed.]
Payments
[PAYMENT PROCESSOR] sets cookies needed to take payments securely and to detect fraud.
How to control cookies
Every browser lets you see the cookies a site has set, delete them, and refuse new ones. Look under Privacy or Site settings. Blocking strictly necessary cookies will sign you out and stop subscriber content from loading.
[If you operate a consent banner, explain here how to reopen it and change an earlier choice.]
