Cookie policy
No trackers, no ads, no following you around. Just a few preferences kept on your own device.
1.The short answer
This site sets no tracking, analytics or advertising cookies, and nothing on it follows you around the web. What it does store in your browser is listed below: small preferences that make the site remember your choices. They stay on your device and are never sent to us.
2.What we store, and why
| Name | Type | What it’s for | How long |
|---|---|---|---|
| tgh-sfx | Local storage | Whether you've turned the Hype.Culture sounds off. | Until you clear it |
| tgh-cap-variant | Local storage | Which layout of the capabilities section you picked. | Until you clear it |
| tgh-font-lab | Local storage | The typeface you chose in the font switcher, if you used it. | Until you clear it |
| tgh-visited, tgh-last-loader, tgh-last-fact, tgh-skip-loader | Session storage | Which page-loading animation and fun fact you've already seen, so they don't repeat. | Until you close the tab |
| admin_session | Cookie | Keeps our own team signed in to the site's editing area. Never set for visitors. | 12 hours |
3.Cookies set by others
Some parts of the site load content from other companies, which may set their own cookies under their own policies:
- YouTube: embedded films use YouTube’s privacy-enhanced mode, which doesn’t set cookies just for showing the video. Once you play it, YouTube may set cookies.
- Instagram: images in our feed load from Instagram’s servers, which see your IP address and browser details.
- Our hosting provider may use a strictly necessary cookie to protect the site from attacks.
4.Your choices
Because the site uses none that track you, there is nothing to opt out of. You can still clear or block cookies and site storage in your browser settings at any time; the site will keep working and simply forget your preferences. More on how we handle personal data is in our privacy policy. Questions: write to us by email at hariharsh@thegreenhype.in or through our contact page.
