Cookie Notice

Last updated: September 25, 2026

This notice explains how TheAEOWire uses cookies and similar technologies, consistent with our privacy policy. It applies to theaeowire.com and covers what we store on your device, why, and how you can control it.

A cookie is a small text file that a website asks your browser to store, then reads back on later visits. Cookies can be used for many purposes, from keeping you logged into an account to tracking your activity across unrelated sites for advertising. The type of cookie matters more than the fact that a cookie exists at all.

What cookies we use

At launch, this site uses only strictly necessary cookies: cookies required for the site to function correctly, such as maintaining basic security and, for our editorial team, an administrative login session. We do not use advertising cookies, third-party tracking cookies, or analytics cookies that build a profile of you across visits or sites.

Because these cookies are required for the site to operate and are not used for advertising, tracking, or profiling, they do not require an opt-in consent banner under most cookie frameworks. We are noting them here for transparency rather than asking you to accept them.

Cloudflare

This site is hosted through Cloudflare, which may set a small number of cookies or use equivalent techniques related to security and performance of its network (for example, to help distinguish legitimate traffic from abusive traffic). These are part of the underlying hosting infrastructure rather than something we configure ourselves.

No advertising or tracking cookies at this time

We do not currently run advertising on this site, and we do not use cookies to track you across other websites. If that changes in the future, we will update this notice and our privacy policy accordingly, and will seek consent where required before setting any non-essential cookie.

Controlling cookies

Because we only use strictly necessary cookies, there is nothing to opt out of at launch beyond what your browser already controls. You can still view, manage, and delete cookies stored by any site, including this one, through your browser's settings, and most browsers let you block cookies entirely or clear them on a schedule. Note that blocking strictly necessary cookies may affect basic site functionality, such as administrative login; it will not affect your ability to read articles on the site, since none of our reader-facing pages depend on non-essential cookies.

Changes to this notice

We may update this cookie notice if the cookies we use change. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision.
