Cookie Policy
What this site stores on your device, and how to change your mind.
Draft — not yet reviewed. This document was prepared from how the website actually handles data, but it has not been checked by a solicitor. Have it reviewed before the site goes live.
The short version
We set the cookies the site needs to function. We do not set analytics or advertising cookies unless you accept them, and you can change your choice at any time using the button at the bottom of this page.
Strictly necessary
These are always on. Without them the site cannot keep you signed in to a form or protect you from cross-site request forgery, so they do not require consent.
| Cookie | Purpose | Expires |
|---|---|---|
chapman_carter_session |
Keeps your session so form errors and confirmations show correctly, and remembers which gated articles you have unlocked | 2 hours |
XSRF-TOKEN |
Protects forms against cross-site request forgery | 2 hours |
cc_cookie_consent |
Remembers whether you accepted or declined optional cookies, so we stop asking | 6 months |
Analytics — only if you accept
If you accept optional cookies, we load Google Analytics to understand which pages are useful and where people get stuck. It sets _ga and _ga_* cookies which last up to two years and record a pseudonymous identifier, the pages you view and roughly where in the world you are.
If you decline, the analytics script is never loaded and those cookies are never set. Declining does not reduce what you can do on the site.
Third-party content
We load typefaces from Google Fonts and CDN Fonts, and photography from Unsplash’s image service. These providers receive your IP address as a necessary part of delivering the file, but we do not use them to track you and they set no cookies on our behalf.
Changing your mind
Use the button below to reopen the cookie banner and change your choice. You can also clear cookies in your browser settings at any time — every modern browser lets you block or delete them per site.
