Cookie policy
Last updated: November 2026.
Cookies are small files a website stores in your browser. This site only uses cookies that are strictly necessary for it to work. We use no advertising or analytics cookies, and we do not follow you around the web.

Embedded content
When a story includes a YouTube video, it loads in YouTube's privacy-enhanced mode (youtube-nocookie.com). YouTube stores no cookies until you play the video. From then on, YouTube's own policy applies.
Consent
We only use strictly necessary cookies, so the law does not require us to ask for consent. That is why you see no cookie banner.
If we ever use other cookies, such as measurement or advertising cookies, we will ask you first. A banner will let you accept, reject or configure them, and we will update this page.
Managing cookies
You can view and delete cookies in your browser settings (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge…). If you block the necessary cookies, you will not be able to sign in, but you can still read the news.
