Privacy Policy

Readers

• You can read every published article without creating an account.
• The site does not use advertising or third-party tracking cookies.
• If you choose a text size or a light/dark theme, that preference is stored only in your own browser and is never sent to us.
• Our hosting provider keeps standard server logs (such as IP address, browser type and the page requested) to keep the site secure and working.

Embedded videos

Some articles include YouTube videos, which load in privacy-enhanced mode. YouTube's own privacy policy applies when you play them.

Staff and contributors

• Staff accounts store a name, email address, role and a securely hashed password.
• Signing in sets one essential cookie that keeps you signed in; it is not used for tracking.
• Bylines, positions, biographies and portraits are published only when they are attached to an article or shown on the staff page.
• Significant actions in the editorial dashboard are recorded in an internal audit log.

Photos and the people in them

Photographs are published for news and documentation purposes. If you appear in a photo and have a concern, contact the editorial board.
