This Cookie Policy explains how The Business End ("we", "us", "our") uses cookies and similar technologies on business-end.com, and the choices available to you. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make sites work, work more efficiently, and to provide information to the site owner. Similar technologies (such as local storage or third-party embeds) can behave in comparable ways and are covered by this policy too.
2. Cookies and Technologies We Use
We aim to keep the cookies on this site to the minimum needed to run it. Based on the services embedded in the site, the following categories apply:
Strictly Necessary
These are required for the site to function and cannot be switched off. They include cookies or similar technology set by our website hosting and delivery platform to serve pages securely and correctly, and to support core interactive features such as the membership application form.
Functional — Newsletter (Kit / ConvertKit)
Our "Join the Newsletter" pop-up is powered by Kit (formerly ConvertKit). When you interact with this form, Kit may set cookies to process your subscription, remember that you have already signed up or dismissed the pop-up, and prevent it from showing again unnecessarily. See Kit's own privacy and cookie information for details.
Payment — Stripe
When you choose to complete a membership payment, you are taken to a secure checkout page hosted by Stripe on Stripe's own domain. This site does not set cookies for that step, but Stripe may set its own cookies there for fraud prevention, security, and to process your payment. See Stripe's Cookie Policy for details.
Fonts — Google Fonts
This site loads typefaces (EB Garamond and Inter) from Google Fonts. Loading these fonts involves a request to Google's servers, which may receive your device's IP address as part of that request. Google Fonts does not set advertising cookies through this integration.
3. Managing Cookies
Most browsers let you view, manage, and delete cookies through their settings. You can typically block cookies entirely or block them from specific sites, though doing so may affect how well parts of this site work (for example, the newsletter pop-up or membership application form). Guidance for common browsers is available at:
4. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time, particularly if we add new tools or integrations to the site. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page shows when it was last revised.
