What are cookies?
A cookie is a small text file of letters and numbers that our website stores on the hard drive of your computer or device when you visit, if you agree. This policy covers cookies and any similar technologies our site uses, referred to throughout simply as cookies.
Why we use cookies
We use cookies to make The Production Report work properly: to keep you signed in to your subscriber account and to process your payments securely.
Cookies we use
| Cookie | Purpose | Type | Duration |

Necessary cookies
These cookies are essential for the site to work. They let you log in to the subscriber area, keep your session secure while you’re signed in, and let us process payments safely through Stripe when you subscribe. Because they’re essential, they don’t require your consent, but we tell you about them here for transparency.
Analytics cookies
We don’t use analytics cookies on The Production Report. If we add an analytics tool in future, we’ll list its cookies in the table above and ask for your consent before they are set.
Embedded content
Some posts may include embedded content, such as video, from other websites. Embedded content behaves in exactly the same way as if you had visited the other website directly, and that website may set its own cookies. We don’t control these cookies and recommend checking the relevant website’s own cookie policy for details.
Cookie consent
Because The Production Report only uses necessary cookies, you won’t see a cookie banner on the site and there are no cookie settings to change.
UK data protection law, including UK GDPR and the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations, requires consent only for non-essential cookies. If we ever introduce any, we’ll ask for your consent first.
Managing cookies in your browser
You can also control or delete cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers let you see what cookies are stored and delete them, block cookies from particular sites, block third-party cookies, block all cookies, or delete all cookies when you close your browser. Bear in mind that blocking necessary cookies will stop parts of the site working, including the subscriber login.

Changes to this policy
We may update this cookie policy from time to time, for example if we add a new tool or change how we use cookies. We’ll update the date at the top of this page when we do.
