Cookie Policy

Last updated: 19 October 2026

1. The short version

Regulated Cyber does not use analytics, advertising, or third-party tracking cookies. Because only strictly necessary and functional storage is used, no consent banner is required under the GDPR and the ePrivacy rules, and none is shown. If non-essential technologies (such as analytics or sponsored advertising) are ever introduced, this page will be updated and a consent mechanism will be added before they are activated.

2. What is stored, and why

The following entries are stored in your browser. All of them are first-party, strictly necessary for the service you request, or simple functional preferences. None of them track you across other websites.

Name	Type	Purpose	Duration
Theme preference	Local storage	Remembers your dark or light mode choice.	Until cleared
Reaction ID	Local storage	An anonymous identifier that prevents emoji reactions on articles from being counted twice. It contains no personal data.	Until cleared
Subscription flag	Local storage	Remembers that you already subscribed to the newsletter so the sign-up prompt is not shown repeatedly.	Until cleared
Editor drafts	Local storage	Autosaves unpublished drafts in the admin editor so work is not lost. Admin area only.	Until saved or discarded

3. Third-party cookies

There are none. No advertising networks, analytics providers, social media pixels, or external embeds set cookies or storage through this site.

4. How to clear or block storage

You can delete or block cookies and local storage at any time through your browser settings (usually under "Privacy" or "Site data"). Clearing them only means your theme preference is forgotten, the subscription prompt may appear again, and reactions can be submitted once more — the site remains fully readable without any storage at all.
