We hate cookie pop-ups too. But apparently, the law insists we tell you about them. So here’s the deal:

---

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help sites remember stuff — like whether you’re logged in, or if you’ve already seen the “Buy a Zine” banner fifteen times.

Some cookies are essential. Others are just nosy.

2. What Cookies We Use

We only use cookies that are:

• Essential for site function (e.g., to remember logins or preferences)
• Related to payments (via Stripe — they set their own secure cookies)
• Basic analytics (via Ghost, our platform — no creepy third-party trackers)

We do not:

• Sell cookie data to advertisers
• Use Facebook pixels
• Deploy anything that could track your browsing outside RABAGAS
• Store cookies inside real cookies (unfortunately)

3. Your Choice

You can:

• Accept our modest cookie offering
• Block cookies via your browser settings (though some features may misbehave)
• Send us a passive-aggressive letter to the editor

---

4. How to Opt Out

Most modern browsers let you clear or block cookies manually:

• Check your browser settings (usually under “Privacy” or “Security”)
• Consider adding a privacy extension if you're paranoid (we respect that)
• Bake actual cookies instead — it’s more fun

5. Contact Us (If You Must)

If you have any questions about cookies, privacy, or why we’re using Ghost and not some VC-funded surveillance machine, email us at thejtv@proton.me.

Or send a handwritten note with a crumbly biscuit — we’re not above symbolism.
