Cookie Policy
Last updated: 4 September 2026
The short version
This site sets no advertising cookies, no tracking cookies, and no third-party analytics cookies. That is why you are not seeing a consent banner.
Why there's no banner
Consent banners are required when a site sets non-essential cookies — advertising, cross-site tracking, or cookie-based analytics. This site sets none of those.
Our analytics come from Ghost's built-in system, which is cookieless by design: it uses no cookies and no persistent browser storage, and counts unique visitors within rolling 24-hour windows rather than following you between sessions or devices. There is nothing to consent to, so we don't interrupt you to ask.
We also chose not to install a third-party live chat widget, which is one of the most common reasons a site suddenly needs a banner.
Cookies actually in use
| Cookie | Set by | Purpose | Type | Lifetime |
|---|---|---|---|---|
ghost-members-ssr | Ghost | Keeps you signed in to your membership account | Strictly necessary | Session / persistent while signed in |
ghost-members-ssr.sig | Ghost | Signature validating the session cookie above | Strictly necessary | Same as above |
__cf_bm (if present) | Cloudflare | Bot management, protects the site from automated abuse | Strictly necessary | 30 minutes |
Strictly necessary cookies don't require consent, because the service you asked for cannot work without them. Sign-in is not possible without a session cookie.
What we deliberately do not use
- No Google Analytics (see below)
- No advertising or retargeting pixels — no Meta pixel, no LinkedIn Insight tag, no Google Ads tag
- No third-party chat widget
- No social media tracking embeds
- No fingerprinting
Our fonts are served from this site rather than from Google Fonts, so loading a page makes no third-party connection at all.
Third parties you reach by leaving
When you click through to Hotmart, Stripe, Gumroad, Google Calendar, YouTube, LinkedIn or Instagram, you're on their site, under their cookie policy. We have no control over what they set.
Managing cookies
You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings. Blocking the two Ghost cookies above will prevent you signing in to your membership account, but everything else on the site will work.
