Always on: needed for the site to work

These cannot be switched off, because the site cannot work without them. They are never used to track you.

• Sign-in: keeps you signed in to your Muslim Lantern account until you sign out.
• Preview access: remembers that you entered the preview password, for up to 14 days.
• Your cookie choice: remembers your answer to the cookie banner, so we don't ask on every page.

Your own settings

These stay in your browser: light or dark mode, captions, playback speed and volume, your place in a journey, and your latest Ask the Lantern conversation. The conversation's reference number goes with each question you ask, so an answer can follow on from the ones before; the rest is not sent to us. Clearing your browser's site data removes them.

Optional: visit counts

Only if you choose Accept. Your browser keeps a random visitor number, made up on your device. While a page is open it tells us the site is in use, with that number, the country you are visiting from and your IP address. If you are not signed in, none of this carries your name or email. If you are signed in, or sign in later in the same browser, these visits are linked to your account, including the earlier visits from that browser. We use this to count how many people use the site and from where. The IP address and country recorded with each visit are deleted automatically 13 months later, and so are the visits of anyone who was not signed in. When you are signed in, the days you used the site stay with your account until you delete it. It is stored with our database provider, Supabase, and is never sold, shared with advertisers or used to follow you on other websites. If you choose Reject, none of this runs and the visitor number is deleted from your browser.

What we don't use

No advertising cookies, no third-party trackers and no tracking across other websites. Videos are embedded through YouTube's privacy-enhanced mode (youtube-nocookie.com); when you play one, YouTube may store information in your browser under its own privacy policy.

Changing your mind

Use Cookie settings at the bottom of any page to see the banner again and change your answer. We ask again after 12 months. We keep a record of each answer (Accept or Reject, the date and the version of the banner, and for an Accept the visitor number) for 25 months, as proof of the choice you made; it never holds your name, email or IP address. If your browser sends a Global Privacy Control signal, we treat it as Reject and do not ask.
