“Why did a cookie line appear at the bottom of the page?”

Strictly necessary: one small browser value remembers that you dismissed our cookie line. That is the entire first-party list.
Analytics: where enabled, we count visits in aggregate — pages and rough regions, no profiles. No advertising cookies, no cross-site tracking, no data sales.
Third parties: Google Fonts serves our typefaces, our image host serves the photography, and opening WhatsApp hands over to Meta's own cookie policy.
Your controls: clear or block cookies in your browser at any time. The blog keeps working and the line simply reappears.

We answer readers, not customers. Nothing here is for sale, we can't see your account, and we will never ask for a security code.
