Other sites we send you to. When you subscribe or manage your subscription, you go to a page run by Stripe, our payment provider. Stripe uses its own cookies there to keep payments secure and prevent fraud. See Stripe's cookie policy.
Bot checks. If you ask for a lot of sign-in codes, we may show a quick check by Cloudflare (Turnstile) to make sure you're not a bot. Cloudflare says Turnstile doesn't use cookies. It does look at technical details of your browser and connection to tell people from bots. See Cloudflare's Turnstile privacy addendum.
Signing in happens in a box over the page you're on. It uses the same cookie, and no other.
On a shared computer, clear any list you started in the list maker before you leave, and tick "This is a shared computer" when you sign in.
If you block cookies, you won't be able to sign in.
If we ever want to add any other cookie, we'll update this page first, and ask you if the law requires it.
