What we collect

• Newsletter signups. Email address — passed to Mailchimp, who store it on our behalf. Used only to send the monthly newsletter. Unsubscribe from any issue.
• Analytics. Page-view data via Google Analytics 4. We use it to understand which episodes resonate. GA4 only loads if you accept analytics cookies on the consent banner.
• Embedded players. The Spotify player on each episode page sets Spotify’s own cookies — see their policy.

Cookies

The site uses three categories of cookies:

• Strictly necessary — for the consent banner to remember your choice. Always on.
• Analytics — Google Analytics 4. Off by default; enabled if you accept on the banner.
• Third-party (Spotify) — set by the embedded Spotify player when you play an episode.

You can change your consent any time by clicking “Cookie settings” at the bottom of any page.
