A cookie is a small file this site leaves in your browser so it can recognise you on a return visit. On a blog built around mythology and folklore, that mostly means remembering which stories you've already read, keeping track of a dismissed notice, or noting your reading preferences so the old legends and tales feel easier to return to. This page lists exactly which cookies we set, what each one does, and why it's there.
We use very few, and none of them are used to track you across the web. They keep the site running smoothly, remember small preferences like a closed banner, and give us a rough sense — in aggregate numbers only — of which myths, legends, and folk tales people are actually reading, so we know what to write about next.
Nothing on this chronicle of myth and legend follows you across other sites, and we never sell what the cookies record. We don't profile readers based on which gods, heroes, or folk tales they linger over, and there is no advertising cookie tracking your path through these ancient stories and old books.
If a page here carries something served by another company — a map showing where a legend originated, a clip retelling an old myth, a widget pointing to further storytelling — that company may set a cookie of its own. Their rules govern it, not ours.
Every browser lets you block or delete cookies, usually tucked under privacy settings. Blocking the essential ones may stop parts of this mythology and folklore archive from working properly, including saved reading lists and bookmarked legends.
Clearing them removes anything already stored, and the site greets you fresh — as though you were opening this collection of myths and legends for the very first time.
How we handle personal information more generally is explained on our main privacy page.
If anything here changes — new tools for exploring myths, new ways we handle data — we will update this page and refresh the date shown at the top.
Anything you're unsure about — a cookie, a credited source, or a story we've retold — can go through the contact page, and we will answer plainly.
