Which cookies project-diada.org sets, what they do, and how to refuse them.
What a cookie is
A small text file a website asks your browser to store, so it can recognise your browser on a later request. Some are necessary for a site to work at all. Others watch what you do.
What we set
Strictly necessary
WordPress, which runs this site, sets cookies for core functions — keeping you logged in if you have an account here, remembering a comment form’s details if you leave one, and protecting forms against abuse. Without these the site cannot function properly. Nobody who simply reads an article gets logged-in cookies.
Analytics
Google Analytics sets cookies so we can see which articles are read and how people find them. These tell us that an article had a thousand readers. They do not tell us who those readers were, and we do not use them to build profiles or to target advertising.
Advertising
Where advertising appears, advertising partners may set their own cookies. Those cookies are governed by the partners’ own privacy policies, not ours.
Third-party content
If an article embeds something from another service — a video, for example — that service may set cookies when the embed loads. We keep embeds to a minimum.
What we do not set
- Cross-site tracking cookies
- Advertising or retargeting profiles
- Anything that records which health topics an individual reads
That last one is deliberate. What a person reads about depression, anxiety or their child is nobody’s business, and the reliable way to keep it that way is not to collect it.
How to refuse cookies
Every major browser lets you block or delete cookies:
- Chrome — Settings → Privacy and security → Third-party cookies
- Safari — Settings → Privacy
- Firefox — Settings → Privacy & Security
- Edge — Settings → Cookies and site permissions
Blocking all cookies may break commenting and logging in. Reading articles will still work.
Most browsers also offer a private or incognito window, which discards cookies when you close it. On a site about mental health, that is a reasonable thing to use, and we would rather tell you about it than not.
Do Not Track
We do not track individuals across other websites, so a Do Not Track signal does not change what we do.
