Cookie Policy
Last updated: 12 May 2026
Most sites set a dozen tracking cookies and bury this page. We set one cookie, only when you sign in as an admin. That's the whole list.
1. What are cookies?
Small bits of text a website asks your browser to remember. Some are essential (like keeping you logged in); most on the web are used for tracking. We only use the essential kind.
2. Cookies we set
| Name | Purpose | Lifetime | Type |
|---|---|---|---|
| anomalymellow_session | Keeps an admin signed in. Encrypted, HTTP-only. Only set after signing in; regular visitors never receive this cookie. | 30 days | Strictly necessary |
| am_cookie_consent | Remembers that you dismissed the cookie banner so we don't show it again. | 1 year | Strictly necessary |
We don't use Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, Hotjar, or any other tracking or advertising script. There's nothing to opt out of because there's nothing to opt into.
3. Third-party cookies
Some pages embed or redirect to third parties that may set their own cookies:
- PayPal, only when you go through checkout. PayPal's cookies are governed by their privacy policy.
- Google Fonts, when your browser loads the EB Garamond typeface we use for headings. Google may receive your IP and any cookies you already have for google.com. We don't pass any data to Google ourselves.
4. Controlling cookies
Every browser lets you block or delete cookies from its settings. Blocking anomalymellow_session just means you can't stay signed in as an admin. The rest of the site works fine.
5. US visitors: “Do not sell or share” & Global Privacy Control
Under California (CCPA/CPRA) and other US state privacy laws, we do not sell or “share” personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising. There is nothing to opt out of because nothing is being sold or shared.
If your browser sends a Global Privacy Control signal, we honor it as a universal opt-out signal under California law and other applicable state laws. Full details in our Privacy Policy for US residents.
