Cookie notice
A short list, because there is a short list. Nothing optional is set until you say yes, and saying no is exactly as easy.

How consent works here
Under the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations, anything that is not strictly necessary needs your consent before it is set. So:
- The banner appears before any optional cookie is set, and nothing optional is set while it is open.
- Accept all and Reject all sit side by side, the same size, the same weight, the same colour, on the same level. Refusing takes one click, exactly as accepting does.
- There is no pre-ticked box anywhere and no wall you have to accept to get past.
- You can change your mind at any time by clearing this site’s storage in your browser, which brings the banner back.
Every cookie we set
| Name | What it does | Type | Lasts |
|---|---|---|---|
| inklayer.session | Keeps you signed in between pages. | Strictly necessary | Session, or 30 days if you choose to stay signed in |
| inklayer.csrf | Protects forms against cross-site request forgery. | Strictly necessary | Session |
| inklayer.cookie-choice | Remembers whether you accepted or refused optional cookies. | Strictly necessary | 12 months |
| inklayer.plan | Remembers the plan and billing period you were looking at, so checkout matches. | Strictly necessary | Session |
| inklayer.analytics | Counts which parts of a read get used, so we know whether the wash-limit card is worth the work. Not set unless you accept. | Optional, consent | 14 months |
What we do not use
No advertising cookies. No cross-site tracking pixels. No social media buttons that phone home. No data broker tags. We do not sell or share what the optional analytics collect.
Controlling cookies in your browser
Every major browser lets you block or delete cookies from its privacy settings. Blocking the strictly necessary ones will stop you from signing in, but nothing else will break.
How we handle the data behind all of this is in the privacy notice.
