What cookies are
Cookies are small files a website saves in your browser so it can remember things, like the fact that you're signed in. Similar tools such as browser storage work the same way, and this policy covers them too.
Cookies we use
Essential (always on)
These make the site work, so they don't need your consent.

nine16_session | Keeps you signed in and protects your account. | 30 days, or until you sign out |
nine16_consent | Remembers your cookie choices so we don't ask on every page. | 6 months |

Analytics (optional)
We don't use any analytics cookies at the moment. If we add an analytics tool, it will be listed here and will only run if you allow analytics cookies.
Marketing (optional)
We don't use any marketing or advertising cookies at the moment. If that changes, they'll be listed here and will only run with your consent.
Third parties
- Our fonts are served from our own site, so loading a page doesn't contact Google or any other font service.
- When you pay, you'll be taken to Stripe's checkout, where Stripe sets its own cookies to prevent fraud. See Stripe's cookie policy.
- We don't embed YouTube players or social media buttons, so those services can't set cookies through our pages.
