What Cookies Are Used For
- Essential cookies support WordPress login, authentication, session continuity, and security checks.
- Preference cookies may store language or interface choices to keep the site usable.
- Local browser storage may be used for certain interface convenience features, such as saved contribution drafts, AI workbench keys kept on your device, language settings, manuscript state, or workspace interactions.
Consent Categories
- Essential storage is always active because it is needed for security, authentication, language routing, form protection, and storing your consent choice.
- Preference storage is non-essential storage that helps remember interface choices.
- Analytics storage is non-essential storage reserved for privacy-conscious measurement if analytics are added later.
- Embedded media storage is non-essential storage and may be required before opening third-party media experiences such as external playlist players or embeds.
Non-Essential and Third-Party Technologies
If Spiralist.org adds analytics, embeds, or other non-essential services later, those tools should respect the stored consent categories where technically possible, and this policy may be updated to describe those tools and their controls.
Your Choices
You can manage non-essential categories through the Privacy Choices control in the site footer. You can also manage cookies and local browser storage through your browser settings, but disabling essential storage may prevent parts of the site from functioning properly.
