Reading the site

You can read every story without an account. Our host, Cloudflare, processes standard technical data (such as IP address, browser type and the page requested) to deliver pages and protect the site from abuse.

Advertising and cookies

Some story pages may show ads served by Google. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website or other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visits to this site and/or other sites on the internet.

You can opt out of personalized advertising in Google Ads Settings, or opt out of some third-party vendors' use of cookies for personalized advertising at www.aboutads.info. Learn more in how Google uses information from sites that use its services. You can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings.

Ads are labelled "Advertisement" and never appear on our home page, Council Watch, corrections or support pages, or on stories about crime, tragedy or death. Advertisers have no say in our coverage.

If you sign up for the weekly digest, your email address is stored by our newsletter provider, Buttondown, and used only to send the digest. Every email has an unsubscribe link.
