We use Vercel Analytics and Speed Insights to understand how the site performs and which pages are popular. These are cookieless: they don't set a persistent identifier or track you across visits.
Some posts embed a Spotify track. The embedded player loads automatically when you view the post, regardless of your cookie choice, and Spotify may set its own cookies through it: this is controlled by Spotify, not by us. Declining cookies on this site does not block these third-party cookies.
