Cookie Policy
Last updated: 1 April 2025
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow the site to recognise your device on subsequent visits and store certain preferences or information. Similar technologies — including pixels, local storage, and session storage — serve analogous purposes and are covered by this policy.
Cookies we use
Essential cookies
Required for the Site to function. These include session management and security tokens. They cannot be disabled without affecting core site functionality.
Preference cookies
Store your choices on the Site, such as your preferred display theme (light or dark mode) and article text size. These are stored in your browser's local storage under the keys theme and article-text-size.
Analytics cookies
Help us understand how readers use the Site — which pages are most visited, how long people spend reading, and how they navigate between sections. We use Google Analytics 4 (GA4) for this purpose. Data is collected in aggregate and does not personally identify you. You can opt out of GA4 tracking via Google's opt-out browser add-on.
Advertising cookies
Set by our advertising partners to serve relevant ads, measure ad performance, and limit frequency. Partners may include Google (DFP/GAM), and others. These parties operate under their own privacy and cookie policies. You can manage interest-based advertising preferences via the Your Online Choices platform (Australia) or the Digital Advertising Alliance opt-out tool.
Social and embedded content cookies
When articles contain embedded content from third-party platforms — including YouTube videos, Twitter/X posts, and Spotify players — those platforms may set their own cookies when you interact with the embedded content. This is governed by those platforms' privacy policies.
Managing cookies
You can control and delete cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to:
- View cookies currently stored on your device.
- Block all cookies, or cookies from specific sites.
- Delete all cookies when you close your browser.
Note that disabling cookies may affect the functionality of the Site — in particular, your theme and text size preferences will not be saved between sessions.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy as our use of cookies evolves or as technology and regulation changes. Material updates will be reflected on this page with a revised "last updated" date.
