What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help the site remember your preferences and understand how visitors use the pages.

Essential vs Analytics Cookies

Essential cookies are required for the site to function — specifically, remembering your cookie consent choice. These are set regardless of your preference.

Analytics cookies help us understand which journal articles and register pages visitors read. These are only activated if you click “Accept” on the cookie banner. If you click “Reject,” analytics cookies are not set and your browsing is not tracked for analytics purposes.

Managing Cookies

You can change your preference at any time by clearing your browser cookies and revisiting the site — the consent banner will reappear.

You can also manage cookies through your browser settings:

  • Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies
  • Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies
  • Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Cookies

Disabling essential cookies may prevent the consent banner from remembering your choice.

Third-Party Cookies

If you accept analytics cookies, Google Analytics may set third-party cookies subject to Google’s privacy policy. We do not use advertising or social media tracking cookies.

Impact of Disabling Cookies

Rejecting or disabling cookies does not affect your ability to browse the site, read our journal, or submit contact inquiries. Only analytics data collection is affected.
