Cookie Policy
Effective date: April 29, 2026
This policy explains how Tactics Journal (“we”, “us”, “our”) uses cookies and similar technology on tacticsjournal.com. Read it alongside our Privacy Policy.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website stores in your browser. They let a site remember things between visits, such as the fact that you are signed in. The site you are visiting can set them (“first-party”), and so can another domain whose code that site loads (“third-party”).
Our approach
We use only essential and functional first-party cookies. We do not use:
- Advertising cookies
- Analytics cookies
- Cross-site tracking cookies
Cookies we set
| Cookie | Type | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
tj_session |
Essential | Keeps you signed in after you sign in with a sign-in link, a one-time code, or Google. HttpOnly, Secure, SameSite=Lax. | Up to 30 days |
tj_google_oauth |
Essential (security) | Guards the Google sign-in redirect against CSRF. HttpOnly, Secure, SameSite=Lax. | 10 minutes, and we clear it as soon as sign-in finishes |
cookie-notice-dismissed |
Functional | Remembers that you have dismissed the cookie notice so we do not show it on every page. | 90 days |
We set the first two only after you do something that needs them, meaning you sign in or start a Google sign-in. We set the third when you click “Got it” on the cookie notice.
Third-party services
When you sign in with Google, your browser goes to accounts.google.com, where Google may set its own cookies on its own domain. Google’s privacy policy covers those cookies. We cannot control or read them.
Managing cookies
You can clear or block cookies in your browser at any time. Here is how, by browser:
Block the tj_session cookie and you will not stay signed in.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. We post any change on this page and update the effective date.
