What are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device to help a website function properly or to provide the owner with information about how the site is used.

How This Site Uses Cookies

This website uses a minimal number of cookies to ensure a secure and functional experience. I do not use "Marketing" or "Targeting" cookies that track you across other websites.

The cookies I use fall into two categories:

Strictly Necessary Cookies: These are essential for the website to work. They are used for security purposes (such as detecting and blocking malicious automated traffic) and to ensure the site loads quickly and reliably. These cannot be turned off.

Performance & Analytics Cookies: These help me understand how visitors interact with the site (e.g., which chess articles are most popular). The data collected is aggregated and anonymous; it does not identify you personally.

Third-Party Cookies

My hosting and analytics providers may set cookies on my behalf to provide the services mentioned above. These providers are strictly prohibited from using this data for their own marketing purposes or sharing it with anyone else.
