Cookie Policy
Last updated: August 25, 2026
What cookies we use
Strictly necessary (always on): session, login, security, language and theme preference, cookie-consent record, sound preference. Functional (on by default, can be disabled): saved-stories sync, reading position, alert settings. Analytics (consent): aggregated page and story metrics, performance monitoring. We do not use advertising or cross-site tracking cookies.
Managing cookies
Use the Cookie Settings link in the footer to change your choices at any time. You can also block cookies in your browser; strictly necessary cookies are required for login and saved stories to work. We honour Global Privacy Control and Do Not Track signals as an opt-out of analytics.
Local storage
We use browser local storage for the same purposes as functional cookies (your saved stories, preferences, and in the demo build, your account). Clearing site data removes it.
Retention
Session cookies expire when you close the browser. Preference cookies last 12 months. Analytics identifiers last 13 months. Consent records last 12 months, after which we ask again.
