Home / Cookie policy

Cookies, counted

This policy is short because the subject is small: one stored preference, kept in your own browser, for one purpose. Here is the whole story.

What gets stored

When you answer the cookie notice, Chicken Road saves your choice in your browser's local storage under the key laneledger_cookie_choice. The value is one of two words: all or essential. That is the entire storage footprint of this website.

Why it exists

Purely so the banner doesn't greet you on every page like an over-eager crossing guard. The preference makes your visit quieter. It performs no other function.

What we don't store

  • No tracking identifiers of any kind.
  • No analytics or measurement scripts.
  • No advertising, no third-party embeds, no social widgets.
  • No session cookies — the site sets none at all.
  • No personal data, because none is requested anywhere on the site.

How to erase it

Open your browser's site-data or local-storage controls for this site and clear them, or clear browsing data globally. The stored preference will vanish, and the cookie banner will return on your next visit — with, we imagine, no hard feelings.

"Accept" vs "Essential only"

Since there is nothing beyond the single preference, both buttons lead to the same practical outcome: your choice is saved and the banner leaves. We offer both buttons anyway, because a fan journal that talks about informed decisions ought to offer them in its own banner.

Questions

If anything here is unclear, the contact form and the privacy policy are both a click away — the desk answers weekly, corrections fastest.
