Effective date: 11 September 2026
1. Current approach
The site does not intentionally set advertising or analytics cookies and has no analytics collection endpoint.
2. Local storage keys
Keys beginning ad_economics_ may hold consent, saved article slugs, a bounded event queue and an optional locally saved newsletter email record.
3. Search
Search terms are used in memory to filter the on-page index. Event records retain only term length and result count, not the raw query.
4. Newsletter preference
The optional form validates and stores an email only in your browser. Nothing is transmitted and no delivery is promised. A clear control removes that record.
5. Third parties
Hosting infrastructure may use essential technical mechanisms or logs. Following an external link subjects you to that provider’s policy.
6. Choice and deletion
You can close the notice, allow local features, use provided clear buttons, or erase site data in browser settings. Blocking storage can reduce persistence but core articles remain readable.
7. Changes and contact
If an analytics or delivery service is introduced, this notice and consent design must be updated before collection begins. Contact the editorial address with questions.
