This Cookie Policy explains how The Daily Algorithm uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit this site.
1. What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files that websites store on your device through your browser. They help websites remember information about your visit, such as your preferences, which can make your next visit easier and the site more useful to you.
2. How We Use Cookies
We take a minimal approach to cookies. Specifically:
Essential cookies: We use a small number of cookies that are strictly necessary for the site to function properly. These include cookies that remember whether you prefer light mode, dark mode, or system theme, and cookies that remember whether you’ve already responded to our cookie consent notice.
We do not use cookies for advertising, behavioral tracking, or building marketing profiles. We do not sell cookie data to advertisers or data brokers.
| Cookie Name | Provider | Purpose | Duration |
| :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- |
| `theme-preference` | thedailyalgorithm.com | Remembers light/dark mode preference | Session / 1 Year |
| `cookie-consent` | thedailyalgorithm.com | Tracks if you accepted the cookie notice | 1 Year |
3. Third-Party Cookies
Some third-party services we rely on may set their own cookies as part of delivering their service:
Vercel, our hosting provider, may use cookies or similar technologies related to performance, caching, and basic security functions.
If you submit a comment, that comment is stored using Supabase. Supabase’s infrastructure may involve cookies or session technology as part of securely processing that submission, though this happens at the infrastructure level rather than through tracking cookies placed in your browser for marketing purposes.
4. Why We Don’t Use Tracking Cookies
We’ve intentionally avoided third-party advertising networks, analytics suites that build cross-site profiles, and any cookie-based tracking that follows you across other websites. This is a deliberate design choice in how this site was built, not a limitation.
5. Managing Your Cookie Preferences
Most browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings, including blocking cookies entirely or deleting existing ones. Please note that disabling essential cookies may affect basic functionality, such as your theme preference resetting on each visit.
You can also choose to reject non-essential cookies directly through the cookie notice shown when you first visit this site.
6. Updates to This Policy
As this site evolves, our use of cookies may change. Any updates will be reflected in this policy, and the most current version will always be the one published here.
