Cookie notice
A cookie is a small text file that a website asks your browser to keep, so that the site can remember something between page loads. Similar technologies — local storage, browser subscription records and pixels — do much the same job, and this notice covers them all.
1. Categories we use
| Category | What it does | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| Strictly necessary | Keeps the site working: remembering your answer to this notice, holding the state of the menu and the accordion, and protecting the briefing form from abuse. These cannot be switched off from within the site. | Session to 12 months |
| Analytics | Counts visits and shows which entries are read and how far people scroll, so we know which parts of the index are useful. Reported in aggregate. | Up to 24 months |
| Advertising and marketing | Supports the placements that fund the site: frequency capping, measuring whether a placement was seen, and the OneSignal record that lets us send the briefing and browser notifications you asked for. | Up to 24 months |
2. Your choice
On your first visit a banner appears at the bottom of the page. Choosing Accept allows the analytics and advertising categories; choosing Decline keeps only the strictly necessary ones. Your answer is stored in your browser's local storage so the banner does not return on every page.
To change your mind, clear the site data for retrointel.com in your browser settings and reload the page — the banner will appear again.
3. Browser notifications
Push notifications are a separate permission handled by your browser, not by a cookie. Nothing is sent until you accept the browser prompt, and no subscription record exists before that moment. You can revoke the permission at any time in your browser's site settings, and the subscription record is then no longer used.
4. Third parties
Analytics and advertising partners, and OneSignal as our message provider, may set identifiers under the categories above. They act as our processors for delivery and measurement; what they collect and how long they keep it is described in our privacy notice.
5. Turning cookies off in your browser
- Chrome — Settings, Privacy and security, Third-party cookies and Site data.
- Safari — Settings, Privacy, Manage website data.
- Firefox — Settings, Privacy & Security, Cookies and Site Data.
- Edge — Settings, Cookies and site permissions.
Blocking strictly necessary cookies will leave parts of the site working oddly — the banner, for example, will reappear on every page.
