This policy explains how The Greek Narrative ("we", "us", "the publication") uses cookies and similar technologies on thegreeknarrative.com. It sits alongside our Privacy Policy, which covers personal data more broadly.
What cookies are
A cookie is a small text file that a website asks your browser to store, so it can recognise your device on later visits. "Similar technologies" include your browser's local storage, which a site can use to remember a preference without setting a cookie. This policy covers both.
Our approach
We keep cookies to a minimum. We do not run advertising cookies, and we do not use cross-site tracking to build profiles of you or to follow you around the web. We do not sell your data to anyone. What we use falls into the categories below.
What we use
- Strictly necessary. Our hosting and content-delivery provider (Cloudflare) may set a small number of essential cookies to keep the site secure and available, for example to distinguish genuine visitors from automated traffic. These cannot be switched off without affecting how the site works.
- Functional preference. We use your browser's local storage (not a cookie) to remember whether you have already seen or dismissed our newsletter invitation, so it does not reappear on every visit. This is stored under the key
tgn-fv-stateand stays on your own device. - Analytics. We currently run no third-party analytics cookies. If we introduce analytics, we will use a privacy-respecting, aggregate measure and update this page before doing so.
- Advertising. None. We carry no advertising and set no advertising or cross-site tracking cookies.
Third-party services
We use a small number of trusted providers to deliver the site, including a hosting and content-delivery provider, font services (Google Fonts and Adobe Fonts) and, when you subscribe, a newsletter-delivery provider. Some of these may set their own cookies when their content loads, governed by their own cookie and privacy policies. We do not control those cookies and do not use them to track you across other sites.
Managing cookies and local storage
You can control and delete cookies through your browser settings, and you can clear a site's local storage from the same place, usually under "Privacy" or "Site data". Clearing this site's data will remove the tgn-fv-state preference, after which the newsletter invitation may appear again. Blocking strictly necessary cookies may stop parts of the site from working correctly. Most browsers also let you refuse cookies by default or ask each time.
Changes
We may update this policy as the publication grows or as the technologies we use change. The date at the top of this page shows when it was last revised.
