Cookie Notice
Last updated: September 15, 2026
This page lists what this site stores in your browser and why. "Cookie" here also covers similar technologies like local storage, which some of the items below actually use instead of a cookie.
Always on — this site can't work without these
| Name | Type | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
vb-theme | Local storage (not a cookie) | Remembers whether you chose light or dark mode, so it doesn't reset between pages | Until you clear browser data |
| WordPress core cookies | Cookie | Only set if you ever log into wp-admin — not used for ordinary readers | Session or per WordPress defaults |
Optional — only present when the corresponding tool is switched on
Each of these is independently enabled or disabled from the site's own settings. If a tool below isn't currently active, its cookies simply aren't set.
| Provider | Purpose | Typical duration |
|---|---|---|
| Google Analytics 4 / Google Tag Manager | Traffic and on-site behavior analytics | Up to 2 years (Google's default) |
| Microsoft Clarity | Session behavior analytics (scroll/click patterns) | Up to 1 year |
| PostHog | Product analytics | Up to 1 year |
Google Search Console and Bing Webmaster Tools, also supported by this site, verify search-engine ownership only and don't set cookies or track visitors.
Managing cookies
Most browsers let you block or delete cookies in their settings. Blocking analytics cookies won't affect
your ability to read the site or subscribe — it only means we can't see that your visit happened. Blocking the
vb-theme local-storage entry just means the dark/light toggle won't be remembered between visits.
For what we do with any personal data collected through this site (for example, if you subscribe by email), see our Privacy Policy.
