Cookies

The small files this site uses, and why there are so few of them.

Last updated 10 November 2026

Cookies are small files a website saves in your browser. RichardWho uses as few as possible. We do not use advertising cookies and we do not track you across other websites.

Cookies we always use

These are needed for the site to work, so the law does not require us to ask first.

wordpress_logged_in_*, wordpress_sec_* Keeps you signed in. Only set when you sign in. Until you sign out, or 14 days if you tick “Keep me signed in”

Things stored in your browser

If we ever ask whether you are happy with optional cookies, we remember your answer in your browser’s local storage (rws_consent) so we don’t ask again.

Optional cookies

We don’t use any at the moment. If we add visitor statistics that need cookies, we will ask you first with a banner, and nothing will be set unless you say yes. You can change your mind at any time using the “Cookie settings” link at the bottom of every page.

Fonts

The site’s typefaces come from Google Fonts. Google does not set cookies for this, but your browser does share your IP address with Google to download the fonts. See our privacy notice.

Turning cookies off

You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings. The site will still work, but you won’t be able to sign in.
