What is a cookie?

A cookie is a small text file that a website asks your browser to store. Cookies are how a site remembers things between visits — for example, a language preference or, in our case, whether you accepted optional analytics. Some sites also rely on similar browser-storage mechanisms (localStorage, sessionStorage); we treat them all under this policy.

What we use

Strictly necessary

We store one first-party item, trj_consent_v1, in your browser to remember whether you have accepted or declined optional analytics. Without it, the consent banner would reappear on every page. This item contains the value “accepted” or “rejected” and nothing else. It does not leave your browser.

Optional, only with consent

If we run analytics on the site, the analytics provider may set first- or third-party cookies to count anonymous page views. These are loaded only after you click Accept on the cookie banner. If you click Decline, no analytics cookies are set.

What we do not use

We do not use advertising cookies. We do not use cross-site trackers. We do not run social-media pixels. We do not place any cookies that fingerprint your device.

How to refuse or change your mind

You can decline cookies on first visit through the consent banner. To change your decision afterwards, clear our site’s storage through your browser settings — in most browsers, this is under “Privacy” or “Site settings.” The next time you load the journal, the banner will appear again so that you can make a new choice.

Browser controls

Most modern browsers let you refuse all cookies, refuse only third-party cookies, or be warned before a cookie is set. The method differs between browsers; please consult your browser’s help pages.

Updates

If we change the way we use cookies, we will update this page.
