cookies
The cookies we use.
We keep cookies to the minimum and never track you for advertising. A couple are strictly necessary to run the site; we also use privacy-respecting analytics to understand, in aggregate, how the site is used so we can improve it.
Strictly necessary
These make the site work and remember decisions you make. They cannot be switched off here.
- astroly_cookie_notice — remembers that you've seen this notice, so it isn't shown again. Stored locally.
- astroly_session — remembers your progress through the reading flow so you don't lose your place. Stored locally.
Analytics
We use Google Analytics 4 and Microsoft Clarity to understand, in aggregate, how the site is used. We never use them for advertising and never sell your data.
- _ga, _ga_* — Google Analytics, to distinguish visitors and sessions. Typically expire after up to 2 years.
- _clck, _clsk — Microsoft Clarity, for aggregate usage and session insights. Expire within about a year.
Opting out
You can opt out of analytics with your browser's privacy settings or extensions, the Google Analytics opt-out add-on, or by clearing this site's data. Opting out does not affect your ability to buy or read an Astroly reading. You can re-open this notice via the control.
For how we handle personal data more broadly, see our privacy notice.
