Cookies policy.
Cookies are small text files we (and a few trusted third parties) place on your device so the site works and so we can learn what is useful. This page lists every cookie we set, why, and how to change your mind.
01What cookies are
At a glance
Small files saved by your browser. Some are needed for the site to work; others are optional.
A cookie is a small text file a website stores on your device. It lets the site remember things between page loads and visits, such as the fact that you are signed in. Similar technologies (local storage, pixels) work the same way and are covered by this policy.
02How we use them
At a glance
To keep you signed in, protect forms, remember your choices, and (only with consent) measure what is useful.
We use cookies to run core features (sign-in, security, your saved preferences) and, only if you agree, to measure how the site is used so we can improve it. We do not use cookies for advertising and we do not sell cookie data.
03Categories of cookies
- Necessary: required for the site to work. Always on, no consent needed.
- Preferences: remember choices like light or dark mode.
- Analytics: measure usage to improve the product. Off until you accept.

06The consent banner
At a glance
On your first visit we ask before turning on anything optional. Necessary cookies run either way.
When you first arrive, a banner lets you accept or reject optional cookies. We do not set analytics cookies until you accept. Your choice is stored in astro_consent so we do not ask again on every visit.
07Managing your preferences
At a glance
Change your mind any time from Settings → Privacy, or clear cookies in your browser.
You can update your choices at any time from Settings → Privacy. You can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings, though necessary cookies are needed for sign-in to work.
08Do Not Track and GPC
We honour Global Privacy Control (GPC) signals. If your browser sends a GPC or Do Not Track signal, we treat optional analytics cookies as rejected unless you have explicitly accepted them here.
09Changes to this policy
If we add or change a cookie, we update this list and, for material changes, ask for your consent again.
