Cookies.

What we set, why, and how to switch them off.

Last updated · May 2026

The short version

We use the minimum number of cookies needed to run a membership website. No advertising cookies. No cross-site trackers. No fingerprinting.

What we set

Strictly necessary

ghost-members-ssr — set by our membership platform when you sign in, so that the site can remember you across pages. Session-scoped where possible.

Analytics

We use Vercel Web Analytics, which is cookie-free. No analytics cookies are set.

Third-party (only when you click out)

If you click a link to a third-party site (Stripe checkout, social media, an external publication), that site may set its own cookies. We have no control over those; check their policies.

How to switch cookies off

You can clear or block cookies in your browser settings at any time. Doing so will sign you out and prevent paywalled content from rendering for paid members, but it won't affect anything else on the site.

Changes

If we add or remove a cookie, this page is updated. The last updated date at the top reflects the most recent change.
