1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used by website owners to make websites work, operate more efficiently, and provide reporting/analytics information.

2. Why and How We Use Cookies

Because our website targets readers globally and uses US-based servers and partner tools, we use cookies to ensure proper website functionality, understand visitor interactions, and manage subscriptions.

We use the following types of cookies:

A. Strictly Necessary Cookies (Essential)

These cookies are mandatory for the technical operation of our website (e.g., loading web pages securely across server infrastructure, managing security protocols, and saving your cookie banner privacy preferences).

  • Can be disabled? No, these cannot be switched off in our systems without breaking essential site functionality.
  • Legal basis / Consent: Exempt from consent requirements under GDPR and global privacy laws.

B. Performance & Analytics Cookies (Optional)

These cookies help us collect aggregated, anonymous data about how visitors use our site (e.g., which pages are visited most, how long readers stay, and where global traffic comes from). This helps us optimize performance for our international audience.

  • Can be disabled? Yes, you can opt in or opt out via our cookie banner or preference manager.

C. Functional & Marketing Cookies (Optional)

These cookies enable enhanced functionality (such as embedding newsletter signup forms from our third-party email marketing partners or remembering user preferences).

  • Can be disabled? Yes, you can disable these at any time.

3. Third-Party Partners and International Transfers

Our servers and some third-party service providers (such as web hosting, analytics, and email subscription partners) are located in the United States.

When you accept optional cookies, these third-party tools may transfer and store technical data on US servers. We ensure that appropriate safeguards (e.g., Standard Contractual Clauses or compliant frameworks) are maintained to protect your data in transit.
