A cookie is a small file this site leaves in your browser so it can recognise you on your next visit. Since we're just a quiet blog about myths, legends, and folklore from around the world, we keep this list short — but here's exactly what each cookie does and why it's there.
We use very few cookies, and none of them are about selling anything. They simply keep the site running smoothly, remember small preferences like a dismissed notice, and give us a rough idea of which myths, legends, and folk tales readers come back to again and again.
Nothing here follows you across other sites, and we do not sell what the cookies record. We use cookies only to remember which myths and legends you've already read — there is no advertising cookie on this blog, and no profile of your reading habits is built or sold to anyone.
If a page embeds something hosted elsewhere — a photograph of an ancient statue, say, or a video about an old legend — that company may set a cookie of its own. Their rules apply to it, not ours.
Every browser lets you block or delete cookies, usually under its privacy settings. Blocking the essential ones may stop parts of the site from working, like saved stories or search.
Clearing them removes anything already stored, and the site greets you again as if you were new to these old tales.
How we handle personal information more generally, beyond cookies, is explained in full on a separate page.
If anything here changes we will update this page and note the new date at the top, so you know which version of the story you're reading.
Anything you are unsure about can go through the contact page, and we will answer plainly, the same way we try to tell every tale.
