1What cookies are
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They let a site remember your preferences between page loads and keep essential features working.
2The cookies we set
Essential
Required for the site to work. These cannot be turned off.
- Session: keeps you signed in during a visit
- Security: protects against cross-site request forgery
- Preferences: remembers your language and display settings
Analytics
Help us see how the site is used, in aggregate.
- Usage statistics: anonymised page views and popular content
- Performance: spot and fix technical problems
- Navigation: understand how people move through the site
Functional
Improve the experience, but nothing breaks without them.
- Theme: remembers your appearance choice
- Text size: saves accessibility settings
- Drafts: temporarily holds a submission you have not sent

5Third-party cookies
Some services we rely on set cookies of their own:
- Analytics providers: anonymised usage data only
- Security providers: spam and abuse protection
- Content delivery: faster loading
Each of those runs under its own privacy policy and cookie practices.
6Cookies and your anonymity
- Cookies here hold no personal information
- We do not use them to follow you across other sites
- Analytics data is aggregated and anonymised
- Turning cookies off does not stop you submitting a confession
Cookies are not what identifies a confession. Anonymity is handled at the data layer — see the privacy policy for the detail.
