WordPress uses technical cookies for sign-in and session protection. Reading does not require an account. The lang parameter in the URL selects the page language; a separate language cookie is unnecessary.
localStorage holds polit-theme (appearance), polit-text-size (text size) and polit-saved-v1 (up to 100 titles and links). These settings stay locally until removed, without cross-device synchronisation. Clear the list on Read later, reset text size with the 100% button, or remove all site data in your browser settings.
Third-party previews and YouTube players do not load before a video button is clicked. Clicking connects to youtube-nocookie.com; subsequent Google/YouTube data processing and cookies may occur. Reloading closes the player. External-service data can be removed through browser settings, but this does not retract information already transmitted.
The GTranslate overlay is disabled. Choosing not to load video does not restrict reading. This document will be updated if other external services are added.
