This page explains what cookies and browser storage Nethercon uses, why we use them, and how you can manage or opt out of them. We keep our use of cookies minimal by design — this is a content site for kids, not an advertising platform.
What Is a Cookie?
A cookie is a small text file that a website places on your browser. Cookies are stored on your device and sent back to the website when you return, allowing the site to remember certain preferences or recognize your visit.
Cookies set by the website you are visiting are called "first-party cookies." Cookies set by other services (like analytics tools or affiliate networks) are called "third-party cookies."
Cookies We Use
Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are required for basic site functionality. Without them, the site cannot operate properly. They do not collect personal information and are not used for tracking.
| Name | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
nc_consent | Remembers whether you have acknowledged the cookie notice, so we do not show it on every page. | 1 year |
nc_theme | Stores your display preference if applicable. No personal data. | 1 year |
Analytics Cookies
We do not currently run any analytics on Nethercon — no analytics cookies, no page-view tracking, no session recording. If we ever add a privacy-focused analytics tool, this section will be updated first and consent will be requested where the law requires it.
Browser localStorage — Not a Cookie
Good to know. localStorage is different from cookies. Data stored in localStorage lives entirely in your browser and is never transmitted to our servers. We cannot read it, and it is not shared with anyone.
To save your progress in interactive site features — such as exploration milestones, quiz answers, or audio playback position — we store small amounts of data in your browser's localStorage. Examples of what we store:
- Which audio episodes you have listened to, so the player can mark them as played.
- Interactive map discoveries and any notes you have made (stored locally, not synced).
- Site preferences (e.g., audio playback speed).
You can clear localStorage at any time through your browser settings. Clearing it will reset any saved progress. Instructions for clearing localStorage are below in the "How to Opt Out" section.
Third-Party Cookies
There are no affiliate links on the site today. If you follow an ordinary outbound link to another website, that site may set its own cookies — we have no control over those, and we recommend reviewing the privacy policy of any site you visit.
We do not embed social media share buttons, advertising pixels, or retargeting scripts — all of which would normally introduce third-party cookies. We deliberately avoid these.
GDPR Lawful Basis for Cookies
If you are in the EU or EEA, GDPR and the ePrivacy Directive apply to our use of cookies.
- Strictly necessary cookies: No consent required. These are set on the basis of a legitimate interest in operating a functional website.
- Analytics cookies: None are set today. If we ever introduce them, they will be set only after your consent where required by law.
Because no analytics cookies are set today, there is nothing to withdraw. This section will change before any analytics cookie is ever introduced.
How to Opt Out
Browser settings (all cookies)
All major browsers allow you to block or delete cookies through their settings. Note that blocking strictly necessary cookies may cause parts of the site to stop working.
- Chrome: Settings → Privacy and Security → Cookies and other site data
- Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
- Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data
- Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions
Clear localStorage (browser storage)
To remove localStorage data for Nethercon, open your browser's developer tools (usually F12), navigate to Application → Local Storage → nethercon.com, and delete the entries. Alternatively, clearing all browsing data in your browser settings will remove localStorage along with cookies.
Analytics opt-out
No analytics cookies are in use, so there is nothing to opt out of. If you have questions about cookies on this site, email [email protected].
Changes to This Policy
If we add new cookies or change how we use existing ones, we will update this page and revise the "Last updated" date. Material changes will be noted on the site.
