We keep cookies to a minimum. The public site uses one cookie, and only after you've given us permission. No tracking pixels, no advertising tags, no third-party trackers.
A cookie is a small file a website places on your device so it can remember something between visits — a language preference, a login session, a form draft. Cookies are not inherently intrusive; the question is always what they're used for and how long they stay.
When you first arrive on estorya.com, a banner at the bottom of the screen lets you accept or decline non-essential cookies. Strictly-necessary cookies are set regardless because the site literally cannot work without them. You can change your choice at any time using the button below — it re-opens the banner.
This is the full list. If this list ever grows, this page is updated before the new cookie is set.
| Name | Purpose | Type | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| estorya_cookie_consent | Remembers your choice on the cookie banner so we don't show it on every page. | Strictly necessary | 12 months |
| payload-token | Logs our team into the Payload content management system at /admin. Set only for staff — never for site visitors. | Strictly necessary (staff only) | Session |
We do not currently run any analytics on the public site. If that changes, we'll use a privacy-first, cookieless option (such as Plausible or Fathom), add a line to this page, and offer an opt-out in the banner before it goes live.
We embed Google Fonts to serve the Work Sans typeface. Google may record the IP address used to request a font file. No cookies are set by this request. If your privacy stance excludes Google entirely, a browser extension such as Decentraleyes will serve the font locally.
Every major browser lets you view, block, or delete cookies from its settings. Blocking essential cookies may prevent parts of the site from working. Private / incognito mode deletes most cookies automatically when the window is closed.
Write to privacy@estorya.com and we'll answer in plain language — no legalese.
