Cookie Notice

Updated 10 November 2026

Use Cookie settings to allow or reject optional analytics or change your choice. You can browse, search and use public resources either way. This setting applies to this browser. If you clear browser storage or use another browser or device, we may ask again.

Storage and connections that support site features

  • Privacy choice. EdCaptain saves your choice, the time, and the notice version in your browser for up to 180 days. This lets the site honor the choice on later visits.
  • Account, security and preferences. WordPress may use cookies such as wordpress_test_cookie and wordpress_logged_in_* on sign-in and account pages. Login cookies normally last for the session or up to 14 days if you select Remember Me. Cloudflare helps deliver and protect pages. Site delivery and security tools may use short-lived storage to manage traffic or validate requests. Site features can also remember a display setting or other choice you explicitly make. The contact and educator forms use a quform_session_* session cookie for form security. Playroom voting uses the signed-in account and does not set a separate ballot cookie. Article view totals do not require an article-visit cookie.
  • Contact form. When you choose to open the contact form, Google reCAPTCHA checks for automated abuse and may set the _GRECAPTCHA cookie for this check. Google processes the reCAPTCHA information on EdCaptain’s behalf. The contact page also lists an email option.
  • Social sign-in and outside links. If you choose social sign-in or follow an outside link, the service you visit applies its own privacy notice.

Optional audience analytics

EdCaptain has disabled Cloudflare’s browser performance beacon. The site uses its own domain to serve its fonts.

Google Analytics is off until you select Allow analytics. The site limits it to eligible guest visits to the homepage and newsletter information page. It can use _ga and _ga_* to distinguish visits. EdCaptain sets an analytics cookie lifetime of up to 180 days. You can withdraw at any time in Cookie settings. Global Privacy Control and Do Not Track turn off optional analytics while the signal is present.

Advertising and embedded social or video players are not options in this control. External content may be offered as a link so you can decide whether to visit that provider. Read the Privacy Policy for information about your rights, service providers and affiliate links.
