This Cookie Policy explains how StoryLurker uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit our website. It should be read together with our Privacy Policy.
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, to make them work more efficiently, and to provide information to website operators. Cookies can be "persistent" (remaining on your device for a set period) or "session" cookies (deleted when you close your browser). We also use related technologies, such as your browser's local storage, which work in a similar way.
Strictly necessary cookies are always active because the website cannot function without them. For all other cookies that are not strictly necessary — in particular advertising cookies — we ask for your consent before they are set where this is required by law, including for visitors located in the European Economic Area (EEA) and the United Kingdom. Where consent is required, non-essential cookies are not set until you provide it, and you can change or withdraw your consent at any time using the methods described in the Managing Cookies section below.
These cookies are necessary for the website to function and cannot be switched off. They are usually set in response to actions you take, such as logging in or filling in forms.
| Cookie | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| PHPSESSID | Maintains your session state (for example, keeping you logged in) | Session |
We also protect forms against cross-site request forgery (CSRF) using a security token. This token is stored in your server-side session, not as a separate browser cookie.
These cookies enable enhanced functionality and personalization, such as remembering your preferences.
| Cookie | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| darkMode | Remembers your dark/light mode preference | 1 year |
We use Google AdSense to display advertisements. Google and its partners may set cookies to serve ads, including ads based on your prior visits to our website or other websites. Where required by law (including in the EEA and the UK), these cookies are only set after you give consent. The specific cookies set are determined by Google; you can learn more in the Google Ads Policy.
| Provider | Purpose | More Info |
|---|---|---|
| Google AdSense | Advertising and ad measurement (personalized where you consent) | Google Ads Policy |
To deliver our pages, your browser also connects to third-party services that host fonts, styling, and scripts — including Google Fonts (fonts.googleapis.com, fonts.gstatic.com) and content delivery networks (cdn.tailwindcss.com, cdn.jsdelivr.net). These providers do not require a cookie to load, but they necessarily receive your IP address and basic request information when your browser contacts them. Their use of that information is governed by their own privacy policies.
You can control and manage cookies in several ways:
Please note: Blocking strictly necessary cookies may prevent you from using certain features of our website, such as logging in or maintaining your session.
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, legislation, or our practices. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last updated" date.
If you have any questions about our use of cookies, please email us at privacy@storylurker.com or use our contact page.
