Cookie policy
A cookie is a small text file a website stores in your browser. This page lists the cookies WeWillExplain uses and what they do. It is short because we use very few.
Essential cookies
| Cookie | Purpose | Lasts |
|---|---|---|
Session cookie (usually PHPSESSID) | Keeps you signed in, protects forms against cross-site forgery, and carries short messages such as “Password changed”. | Until you close your browser (or sign out), unless your browser keeps it longer. |
This cookie is strictly necessary to run the features you ask for, so it is set without a consent banner. If you block it, you can still read every article, but you will not be able to sign in, comment, chat or use your reading list.
What we do not use
We do not use advertising cookies, tracking pixels, or third-party analytics. We will update this page and tell you before that changes.
