- Strictly necessary cookies keep you signed in and protect forms from forgery. They are always on, because the site cannot work without them.
- Analytics cookies (Google Analytics) are optional. In the EU/EEA, the UK and Switzerland they stay off unless you choose Accept.
- Everywhere, we honor Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control: if your browser sends either, analytics stay off.
- The site does not show ads or set advertising or cross-site tracking cookies. If that changes, this page will list them, and we will ask first where the law requires it.
- You can change your choice at any time with Cookie settings at the bottom of every page.
Strictly necessary
These are set by Paranormal Daily itself, on our own domain, and are never used to track you across other sites.
- paranormal_daily_session — keeps you signed in and remembers what you are doing between pages. Expires after 120 minutes without activity.
- XSRF-TOKEN — protects forms against cross-site request forgery. Expires with the session.
- cookie_consent — remembers whether you accepted or refused optional cookies, so we do not ask on every page. Lasts six months, after which we ask again.
- two_factor_remember — only if you turn on two-factor sign-in and choose to trust a device; skips the code on that device for 30 days.
- at_apple_return_to — only while you sign in with Apple; remembers the page you started from, so you land back on it afterwards. Lasts 15 minutes.
We also keep a few preferences in your browser’s own storage (not cookies) when you choose them, such as your theme and whether you opted out of analytics. They never leave your device.
Analytics (optional)
This helps us understand which stories and pages are read and whether the broadcast gets watched, so we can improve them. It is counted in aggregate; we do not sell this data.
- Google Analytics (Google LLC) — cookies _ga and _ga_<id> distinguish visits and sessions. Google documents a lifetime of up to 2 years. Advertising features are switched off.
If you refuse, Google Analytics is not loaded at all. If you accept and later refuse, we stop it at once and delete its cookies.
Where we ask first
The law in the EU/EEA, the UK and Switzerland requires your permission before optional cookies are set, so there we show a banner and set nothing optional until you answer. Elsewhere, optional analytics run unless you refuse, and you can refuse at any time.
To tell where you are, we look up the country your IP address belongs to, on our own server, when the page loads. We do not store the result. If we cannot tell, your browser’s time zone decides, and if even that is unavailable, we ask.
Changing your choice
- Cookie settings, at the bottom of every page, lets you accept or refuse optional cookies at any time.
- If you are signed in, Settings → Usage Analytics does the same for your account.
- Do Not Track or Global Privacy Control in your browser keeps analytics off everywhere.
- Deleting this site’s cookies in your browser clears your choice; where we are required to ask, we will ask again.
Other services that may see your visit
A few things load from other companies. These do not set cookies on paranormal.greenrobot.com, but, as with any request, the provider can see your IP address:
- Google Fonts — the site’s typefaces are loaded from Google’s servers.
- Sentry — if a page crashes, an error report is sent so we can fix it. It sets no cookies.
For everything else about how we handle your information, see our Privacy Policy.
