Keeping the pages upright

A very short list remembers dismissed banners and basic display settings so the notes look the same from one page to the next. No personal information moves through them and the site behaves oddly when they are blocked.

Counting who reads what

Anonymous measurement of which notes get opened, how long they hold a reader and roughly where the visit started. It exists so the re-walking schedule follows reader interest. No individual is ever identified by it.

Crediting a registration

Follow a commercial link and the operator sets its own cookie so an account opened afterwards is credited correctly. It is their cookie under their policy, and it gives us no view of your account, your balance or anything you do once inside.

Refusing the lot

Every browser blocks and clears cookies from its own settings and nothing here depends on your agreement. Blocking measurement costs you nothing. Blocking attribution costs us the commission and costs you nothing at all, and we would rather write that down than hide it.

If the list changes

Anything beyond these three jobs gets added to this page before it starts running rather than afterwards.
