1. What technologies we use
We use a minimal set of client-side storage mechanisms necessary to provide a reliable reading experience:
- Strictly Necessary Cookies: Session cookies or security tokens required to authenticate newsroom staff or protect forms from cross-site request forgery (CSRF).
- Functional Preferences: Local storage entries that remember whether you selected dark mode, your active reading language, or collapsed an informational banner.
- Aggregated Telemetry: First-party, anonymized counters that tally overall article views and section popularity without capturing personal identifiers or tracking you across other websites.
