Cookie notice

Cookies we use

We use strictly necessary first-party cookies so the site can remember a secure session, your 18+ confirmation, and a private anonymous-integrity token. They cannot be switched off through a consent banner because the requested service cannot work safely without them.

• Session: keeps forms and signed-in access secure; expires at session end or after a short inactivity period.
• Age policy: remembers the 18+ confirmation for a limited period.
• Anonymous integrity: provides a random signed token used to derive a debate-specific identity and prevent duplicate voting.

What we do not use

There are no third-party advertising cookies, social tracking buttons, cross-site profiling tools, or non-essential analytics cookies at launch. External evidence links do not load until you choose to open them.

Future changes

If a future feature needs non-essential storage, it will stay off until you make an informed choice. This notice and any consent controls will be updated first. You can also clear cookies using your browser, although doing so may sign you out and reset your anonymous identity.
