Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help the site remember your preferences, keep you signed in, and understand how visitors use the service. NarrativeRadar uses a small number of first-party cookies and one third-party analytics service.
These cookies are required for the site to function. They cannot be disabled without breaking core features like authentication.

| nr_refresh | JWT refresh token — allows silent session renewal without re-entering your password | 30 days |
| nr_admin_token | Admin panel authentication (admin users only) | 24 hours |
These cookies remember your preferences and improve your experience. They do not track you across other websites.

We also use Google Analytics (GA4), which sets its own cookies (typically prefixed _ga). Google Analytics helps us understand page views, traffic sources, and general usage patterns. Data is aggregated and anonymized. No advertising features are enabled.
Google Analytics is subject to Google's Privacy Policy. You can opt out using the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
Cloudflare may set cookies related to security and performance (e.g., __cf_bm) as part of its CDN and DDoS protection service. These are classified as strictly necessary by Cloudflare and cannot be disabled while using the site.
NarrativeRadar does not use advertising cookies, social media tracking pixels, or any other third-party tracking technologies.
Most browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can typically:
Blocking essential cookies (nr_token, nr_refresh) will prevent you from signing in. Blocking functional cookies will reset your language and onboarding preferences on each visit.
For instructions on managing cookies in your browser, visit your browser's help documentation or allaboutcookies.org.
We may update this cookie policy when we add or remove cookies. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated date. For material changes, we will also update the date at the top of this page.
