Cookie Policy

A short, plain-language description of every cookie this site uses. We use only cookies that are strictly necessary to make the site work.

Last updated: 29 April 2026

This is a draft Cookie Policy provided for review. The Time For CH₄nge team should review and confirm the wording reflects current operations before launch.

What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files that a website saves on your device when you visit. They are used by most websites to make things work properly, remember your preferences, or measure how the site is being used. Some cookies are essential; others are optional.

Cookies we use

We deliberately use only the minimum cookies needed for the site to work. None of the cookies below are used for advertising, profiling, or third-party tracking.

Strictly necessary cookies

NamePurposeLifetime
site-authStores a signed token confirming you have entered the pre-launch access password. Used only while the site is in pre-launch mode; removed at public launch.Session / up to 7 days
authjs.session-token
__Secure-authjs.session-token
Keeps the editor signed in to the admin panel. Set only when an editor logs in at /login. Visitors to the public site never receive this cookie.Session

What we do not use

For visibility, this site does not use any of the following:

  • Advertising or marketing cookies.
  • Profiling or fingerprinting techniques.
  • Third-party analytics that drop tracking cookies (we use Vercel Web Analytics, which is cookieless).
  • Social-media tracking pixels.

Managing cookies

Because the cookies we use are strictly necessary for the site to function, you do not need to opt in to them. You can clear or block cookies in your browser settings at any time; doing so may prevent you from accessing the admin panel or the pre-launch site, but will not affect ordinary public browsing.

Changes to this policy

If we ever introduce new cookies (for example, an opt-in analytics tool that uses cookies), this policy will be updated and a consent prompt will appear before any non-essential cookies are set.

We use only essential cookies. These keep the site secure and let editors sign in. We do not use advertising, profiling, or tracking cookies. Read more in our Cookie Policy and Privacy Policy.
