Cookie Policy

Last updated: 24 July 2026 · Version 1.0

Your control. We don't set any non-essential cookies until you click Accept on our banner, as required by the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR) and UK GDPR. You can change your choice any time via Cookie settings (also in the footer of every page).

1. What cookies are

Cookies are small files stored on your device. Similar technologies (local storage, pixels) work in comparable ways. We group them as strictly necessary or non-essential (analytics).

2. Strictly necessary — always on

These are required for the site to function and don't need consent.

Name	Purpose	Retention
atk_consent	Remembers your cookie choice (accepted / rejected)	12 months
atk_token (local storage)	Keeps you signed in on this device	Until sign-out
Session/security tokens	Authentication, 2FA and CSRF protection	Session

3. Analytics — only with your consent

These load only after you accept. They help us understand which episodes and articles resonate.

Provider	Purpose	More info
Google Analytics 4	Aggregate, IP-anonymised usage measurement	Google privacy
Meta Pixel	Measures campaign effectiveness	Meta privacy
First-party analytics	Our own pageview/engagement counts, stored by us	This site

Analytics run only if the site owner has configured GA4/Pixel IDs and you have accepted. If those IDs are blank, only our own first-party analytics run (still consent-gated).

4. Managing cookies

Use our Cookie settings to accept or reject non-essential cookies. You can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings, though strictly necessary cookies are needed for sign-in and security.

5. Changes

We'll update this policy if our cookie use changes, with a revised date above.
