Privacy
You can read the newspaper without creating an account.
Reading the site
We do not use a separate visitor analytics service. The private editor uses session and security cookies; these are not used to track readers across websites.
Your reading and visiting list
When you save an item, choose a preferred city or follow an artist, these choices are stored in this browser using local storage. Marking artist updates as seen stores their public identifiers here too. Opening a story does not automatically record it as read. They are not sent to our server or linked to an account. My list does not load advertising scripts. You can remove individual items, unfollow artists, or clear each list separately on My list. Clearing this site’s browser data removes your choices; they do not transfer to another browser or device.
Advertising and your choices
We use Google AdSense on the public newspaper. Google and its advertising partners may use cookies, device identifiers and information such as your IP address and the page you visit to deliver, measure and, where you agree, personalise advertising. Advertising services are not loaded in the private editor, private preview or story submission form.
Where required, Google's consent message lets you accept, decline or manage the use of your information. You can revisit your decision using the Privacy & cookie settings link in the footer when available. Refusing consent does not prevent you from reading our articles. Learn more about how Google uses information from sites that use its services and Google's advertising controls.
External services
Fonts are supplied by Fontshare and some illustrations load from their source websites. Your browser connects to those services when loading a page, which exposes normal request information such as your IP address. Links to other sites are governed by their own privacy policies.
Submitting a story
Our submission form collects a named editorial contact, story details, supporting documents and image permissions. Original submissions and contact details are held privately in our editorial storage. We use them to assess, verify and prepare potential coverage; we do not publish contact information. Uploaded material may be analysed by our assisted editorial system, subject to access and usage restrictions.
Cloudflare Turnstile checks submissions for abuse. Cloudflare receives the information needed to run that security check. We retain short-lived, keyed hashes for rate limiting rather than storing IP addresses in submission records. Original material is retained as an editorial record while it is needed; contact us about correction or removal requests.
Contacting us
Email for corrections, rights and advertising enquiries is handled through Gmail. News and PR material should be sent through the submission form. We use the information you provide to consider your enquiry, respond and maintain an editorial record where needed. Please avoid sending sensitive personal information that is unnecessary for your enquiry.
Editorial records
Private drafts, editorial notes and account credentials are excluded from public pages. Public reports may identify people in their professional capacity and link to the sources used.
For questions about personal information or a request concerning correspondence, contact the editor.
