Cookie Policy

This page explains how Fax Office 1987 uses cookies and similar technologies on faxoffice1987.com. We try to keep this short, because we use very few cookies on purpose.

1. What cookies are

A cookie is a small text file that a website stores in your browser. It can hold a short identifier (for a session, for example) so the site works correctly across page loads. Some cookies are set by the site you are visiting (“first-party”), others are set by external services embedded in the page (“third-party”).

2. What we use

Fax Office 1987 uses essential cookies only. These are strictly necessary for the site to function and to stay secure. In practice this means:

• a session cookie that keeps your visit consistent across pages,
• a security cookie used to protect form submissions (CSRF protection) when, for example, you submit our newsletter form.

These cookies do not track you across other sites. They do not build a profile of your interests. They do not feed advertising.

3. What we do not use

At the time of writing, Fax Office 1987 does not use:

• analytics cookies,
• advertising or marketing cookies,
• social media tracking pixels,
• A/B testing or personalisation cookies.

If we add analytics in the future, we will use a privacy-friendly option (such as Plausible or Vercel Analytics) that does not rely on personal identifiers, and we will update this page before turning it on.

4. Third-party cookies

Currently, none. If we later add a Beehiiv embed for newsletter signups directly on the page, Beehiiv may set its own cookies for that form. We will list it here, with a link to Beehiiv’s policy, before we turn it on.

External links inside articles (to brand sites, retailers, other publications) may set their own cookies once you click through. Those are governed by those sites’ own policies, not ours.

5. How to control cookies

You can clear or block cookies in your browser settings at any time. Most browsers let you:

• view the cookies stored on your device,
• delete them,
• block cookies from specific sites or all sites,
• open a private or incognito window where cookies are cleared at the end of the session.

Because we only use essential cookies, blocking them may stop parts of the site (such as the newsletter form) from working as intended, but the rest of the reading experience should still load.

6. Do Not Track

Some browsers send a “Do Not Track” signal. There is currently no consistent legal or industry standard for how sites should respond to it, so Fax Office 1987 does not change its behaviour based on DNT headers. We instead aim to keep tracking to the minimum at all times, for everyone.

7. Updates to this policy

We will update this page when our use of cookies changes (for example, when we add analytics, or embed a newsletter form). The “Last updated” date above will change, and significant updates will be flagged on the site.
