The Outdoor Dispatch (operated by Epiqara LLC) does not use tracking or advertising cookies, and it does not sell or share your information.

Analytics — no cookies

We use Vercel’s privacy-friendly, cookieless analytics and performance monitoring (Speed Insights) to understand anonymous, aggregate traffic and site performance. They set no cookies and don’t track you across other sites.

Strictly necessary cookies

Any strictly necessary cookies used to deliver the site are exempt from consent requirements. We don’t set advertising, analytics, or cross-site tracking cookies.

Local storage — a single preference

To offer a quick link back to the last edition you viewed, we save one small value in your browser’s local storage. It’s a preference, not a cookie: it stays on your device, isn’t sent to us or shared, and isn’t used to track you. Clearing your browser’s site data removes it.

Finding editions near you

The “near you” section on our home page uses an approximate location that our hosting provider derives from your IP address — no cookies are involved, and we don’t store it. See our Privacy Policy for how that works.

Changes & contact

If we ever introduce non-essential cookies, we’ll update this page and ask for your consent first. Questions? Email legal [at] epiqara.com or use our contact form.
