Cookie Policy
Effective date: July 11, 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how Iron Brew Works uses cookies and similar technologies on our website at https://ironbrewworks.com/. It is part of our Privacy Policy.
Iron Brew Works is a free, read-only journal. We do not run advertising and we do not use cookies to build advertising profiles or track you across other websites.
What is a Cookie?
A cookie is a small piece of data that a website stores on your device when you visit. It typically contains a unique identifier that allows the site to recognise your browser when you return, along with the lifespan of the cookie itself.
Cookies set by the website you are visiting are usually referred to as first-party cookies. Cookies set by other sites and companies (i.e. third parties) are called third-party cookies.
How We Use Cookies
The cookies and similar technologies used on our site are limited:
- Consent preferences: Our cookie consent tool (GetTerms) stores your cookie choices so we can remember your preferences on future visits.
- Analytics: We use Rybbit, a privacy-focused, self-hosted, first-party analytics tool. Rybbit is designed to be cookieless — it helps us understand which posts are read without using tracking cookies or building a profile of you.
- Embedded video: Where a post contains an embedded YouTube video, we use
YouTube's privacy-enhanced mode (
youtube-nocookie.com), which avoids setting tracking cookies unless you actually play the video. If you play a video, YouTube may set its own cookies, governed by Google's privacy and cookie policies.
How You Can Control Cookies
You can review and change your cookie preferences at any time using the "Cookie Preferences" link in the footer of our site, which opens our cookie consent manager.
You may also set or amend your cookie preferences through your web browser settings. As each web browser is different, please consult the instructions provided by your browser (typically in its "help" section). If you choose to refuse or disable cookies, you may still read the site, although some embedded content may not function as intended.
How Often Will We Update This Cookie Policy?
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes to the cookies and related technologies we use, or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. Each time you use our website, the current version of the Cookie Policy will apply. Please check the date at the top of this document to see when it was last updated.
