This site does not set any cookies of its own, and there is no cookie banner because there is nothing to consent to on arrival.
We checked the site's own code before writing this rather than describing a typical setup. There is no analytics, no advertising tag, no consent management platform, and no code anywhere on the site that writes a cookie or uses browser storage.
A cookie is a small file a website asks your browser to store, so it can recognise the same browser later, either for the length of one visit, a session cookie, or across visits, a persistent cookie. They are ordinary and often useful. We simply do not need any.
None. You can confirm this yourself: open your browser's developer tools, look at the storage or application tab, and load any page on this site.
Although we set nothing, a couple of pages load something from another company, and those requests reveal your IP address to them in the same way visiting their site would. One of them can set a cookie, but only if you choose to interact with it. The typefaces and the animation libraries used to come from content networks and are now served from this site, so they are no longer on this list.
| Service | Why it is there | Does it set a cookie? |
|---|---|---|
| YouTube, privacy enhanced mode | The video player on episode pages | Not on page load. The players use youtube-nocookie.com, so YouTube stores nothing until you actually press play |
| Cloudflare Workers | Fetches the podcast feed for episode durations | No |
If you press play on a video, YouTube may then store data on your device under its own terms. If you would rather it did not, do not press play, or watch the episode on YouTube directly where you can manage those settings in your Google account.
Every browser lets you block or delete cookies in its settings, and the Help function in your browser will show you where. allaboutcookies.org covers the major browsers in detail. Blocking cookies will not break anything on this site, because we do not rely on them.
If we ever add analytics or anything else that sets a non-essential cookie, we will add a proper consent banner that blocks it until you agree, and we will update this page before doing so. We will not quietly start tracking and update the small print afterwards.
