Cookie Policy
The small files we use to run the site and understand how it's used — and how you stay in control.
This Cookie Policy explains how The Steading Codex (Web Production Labs LLC) uses cookies and similar technologies. It should be read with our Privacy Policy.
1 · What cookies are
Cookies are small text files a site stores on your device. "Similar technologies" include local storage and pixels. They let a site remember actions and preferences, and help us understand usage.
2 · Categories we use
Strictly necessary
Required for the site to work — security, load balancing, and remembering your cookie choice. These don't need consent and can't be switched off here.
Analytics (optional)
We use PostHog to understand which pages and features (such as the flipbook preview) people use, so we can improve the site. These load only after you accept, where consent is required.
Marketing / email (optional)
If you subscribe to our newsletter, Klaviyo may set cookies or use pixels to measure email engagement. These load only with consent where required.
3 · Third parties that may set cookies
- PostHog — product analytics.
- Klaviyo — email marketing.
- Vercel — hosting and security.
- Amazon — if you follow a link to buy a printed edition, Amazon applies its own cookies.
Durations vary by provider, from the length of your session up to roughly 12 months.
4 · Your choices
Visitors in the EEA and UK are shown a consent banner and can accept or decline non-essential cookies; declining means analytics and marketing cookies are not set. You can also control cookies through your browser settings (block or delete them) — though strictly-necessary cookies are needed for the site to function. To change a prior choice, clear this site's cookies and reload.
5 · Do Not Track
Some browsers send a "Do Not Track" signal. There is no common standard for it yet; we honor cookie choices made through our banner and your browser settings.
6 · Changes
We may update this policy as our tools change; the "last updated" date above will reflect that.
