Cookie Policy
Last updated August 2026
The Living Cities uses a minimal set of cookies and similar technologies. At launch, before advertising is enabled, that set is close to nothing beyond what's strictly needed for the site to work.
Essential
Some functionality — like remembering that you've dismissed a notice — may use a small amount of local storage or a session cookie. These aren't used to track you across other sites.
Analytics
If analytics are enabled, they may set a cookie or use similar local storage to count visits in aggregate. We prefer privacy-conscious analytics that don't build an individual profile of you.
Advertising
Ad slots are built into the site but inactive at launch. Once activated, our ad network may set cookies to serve relevant ads and measure their performance. This page will be updated with the specific network and opt-out options before ads go live.
Managing Cookies
Most browsers let you block or delete cookies in their settings. Blocking cookies may affect some site functionality but won't prevent you from reading The Living Cities.
