Cookie Policy
1. What this page covers
This page lists every cookie pushingsquares.com may set, what it does, how long it lasts, and how to change your choice. It supplements the cookie summary in our Privacy Policy and our obligations under the UK Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR).

3. How to change your choice
To change a previous Accept or Decline:
- Clear cookies for pushingsquares.com in your browser settings.
- Reload any page on the site.
- The cookie banner reappears. Click Accept or Decline.
4. Browser-level controls
Modern browsers let you block third-party cookies, send a Do Not Track signal, or delete cookies on exit. Pushing Squares honours the Do Not Track signal — if your browser sends DNT, PostHog will not initialise even after you click Accept.
General guidance on managing cookies: the ICO publishes a plain-English explainer at ico.org.uk/your-data-matters/online/cookies/.
5. Strictly necessary cookies
Cookies marked “strictly necessary” are set without consent under PECR Reg. 6(4). Removing them will break login (next-auth.*) or the cookie banner itself (ps_consent).
6. Changes to this policy
Material changes will be communicated by a banner at the top of this page for 30 days.
