Legal / Device information

Cookie policy

Cookies and similar technologies can store information on a device. This page distinguishes them from the temporary functions used by the reading room.

The core website

The static pages and their supplied script do not set cookies, use localStorage or sessionStorage, or include advertising and analytics code. Navigation, scroll reveals and the contact composer work without persistent browser identifiers. The site does not require optional tracking to read a chapter.

Any separately provided hosting or consent-management layer is distinct from these page functions. Where such a layer stores a consent choice, its controls should identify the purpose and duration of that storage. Consent to optional technology must not be treated as permission for unrelated uses.

What remains temporary

The mobile menu’s open state and scroll-reveal state exist only in the current page. The contact composer holds your draft in page memory and displays a plain-text preview. It does not deliberately save a draft for your next visit. Your browser may separately provide autofill, page restoration or caching features.

Copy message uses the Clipboard API only after you choose that action. Download text creates a file using a temporary browser object URL. The object URL is released after the download is initiated; the downloaded file remains wherever your device stores it until you remove it. Clipboard and download functions are not tracking cookies.

Essential and optional technologies

Under applicable rules, storage or access strictly necessary to provide a service you request can be treated differently from optional analytics or advertising. Optional technologies requiring consent should remain inactive unless valid consent is given. Choosing essential-only access should not prevent you from reading these informational pages.

The supplied core site has no optional analytics or advertising category to enable. If additional services are introduced, their purposes, providers and storage periods should be disclosed before any consent-dependent access occurs.

Your browser controls

You can inspect and remove site data through your browser’s privacy or site-settings interface. Blocking cookies does not disable the core reading pages. Disabling JavaScript prevents the message composer and mobile dropdown from operating, while the main content and footer chapter links remain available.

Browser caching of images and styles helps deliver pages and is not the same as a behavioural advertising profile. Deleting cached files may cause resources to be downloaded again.

External links

We link to official venues and research sources rather than embedding their pages. Their own cookies and privacy rules apply when you visit them. Check their policies and controls before choosing optional services.
