Cookie Policy

This site sets a small number of first-party cookies. No advertising or cross-site tracking cookies are set by us.

Public part (readers)

• Form token — a short-lived value that protects the forms you submit against forged requests.
• Verification flag — remembers that you passed the anti-spam check for a few days, so you are not asked again.
• voted_* — remembers which stories you already rated, so your vote is counted once; kept for about a year.
• cnotice — hides the cookie notice bar after you dismiss it.

Author area

• Session — keeps an author (or administrator) logged in; expires with the browser.
• Account flag — remembers that an author account was used on this device; it never logs anyone in by itself.

Blocking cookies leaves reading intact but disables voting, commenting and login. Questions: webmaster@swearithappened.com.
