NeuroCognica

Cookie Policy

Version: 1.0 · Effective: 2026-08-04


Today, this site sets no cookies at all

Not "only essential ones". None.

neurocognica.org is currently static pages. There are no accounts, no analytics, no advertising, no embedded third-party scripts, no web fonts loaded from anyone else, and no social widgets. Nothing is stored in your browser, so there is no banner to click and nothing to opt out of.

This is unusual enough to be worth saying plainly, and specific enough that you could verify it: open your browser's developer tools, look at Storage, and you will find it empty.

What our host sees regardless

Cloudflare serves this site and therefore processes connection data — your IP address, the page requested, your browser's user-agent — because a server physically cannot send you a page without knowing where to send it. That is infrastructure, not tracking, and no report of it reaches us.

Cloudflare may set a security cookie if it needs to challenge traffic during an attack. That is theirs, it is strictly necessary, and it carries no analytics.

What will change when accounts launch

Sign-in, Mirrorborn and analytics are in development and not running today. When they launch, this policy gets a new version and effective date. The intended cookies are:

Cookie Purpose Type Consent
Session Keeps you signed in after you authenticate Strictly necessary Not required — set only once you choose to sign in
CSRF token Stops another site acting as you Strictly necessary Not required
Consent record Remembers your analytics choice so we stop asking Strictly necessary Not required — it exists to honour your answer
Analytics First-party page and session measurement Optional Required. Nothing fires until you opt in

Three commitments about that:

  1. No analytics cookie is set before you opt in. Not "set and ignored" — not set.
  2. Declining is one click, and equally prominent as accepting. No dark patterns, no pre-ticked boxes, no cookie wall.
  3. No third-party or advertising cookies, ever. Analytics will be first-party. We do not run ad networks, we do not embed trackers, and we do not sell or share your data with advertisers.

Changing your mind

Once analytics exists you will be able to withdraw consent from your account settings, and your browser can clear any cookie at any time. Clearing the session cookie signs you out; clearing the consent cookie means we ask again.
