Cookies are small text files that websites place on your device. This page explains what cookies tobeforgiven.com uses, why, and how you can control them. The short version: we keep it minimal.
What Are Cookies?
When you visit a website, it can store a small file on your device. That file — a cookie — lets the site remember things about your visit, like your preferences or that you've been there before. Cookies are standard technology used across almost all websites.
Some cookies are set directly by the website you're visiting. Others are set by third-party services the website uses (like fonts, analytics, or email tools).

Essential vs. Non-Essential Cookies
Essential cookies are necessary for a website to function. They don't require your consent. On tobeforgiven.com, the only cookies that fall into this category are basic session and security cookies set by the hosting infrastructure.
Non-essential cookies — like analytics or marketing cookies — are not currently in use on this site. If that changes, this policy will be updated.
