Cookie notice

Last updated 7 October 2026.

Cookies are small files a website stores in your browser. This notice lists the kinds used on Stories of Record. Our privacy policy has the full detail.

Strictly necessary

Our host, Cloudflare, may set a security cookie (for example __cf_bm) to tell people apart from automated abuse. It does not identify you and expires within an hour. These cookies do not need consent.

Advertising

We plan to show ads from Google AdSense. Google and its partners use cookies and similar technologies to show ads, limit how often you see the same ad, measure performance and, if you allow it, personalise ads based on your visits to this and other sites.

In the UK, EEA and Switzerland these cookies are only used with your consent, which you give or refuse in the consent message on the site and can change at any time from that message.

Analytics

We use Cloudflare Web Analytics to count visits. It sets no cookies and stores nothing in your browser. If we add an analytics service that uses cookies, it will be listed here first.

How to control cookies

• Use the consent message on the site to accept or refuse advertising cookies, where it is shown.
• Turn off personalised ads in Google's Ads Settings.
• Block or delete cookies in your browser settings. The site still works without them.
