Cookie Policy
Last updated: September 28, 2026
Short version: two cookies, both ours, neither of them watching you.
What is set
`larp_session`
Set when you sign in, and only then. It is what being signed in *is* — the
dashboard cannot tell who you are without it. Signed, HTTP-only so no script on
the page can read it, and it expires after about seven days of not being used.
Signing out deletes it.
`larp_cookie_notice`
Set when you close the notice at the bottom of the screen, so it does not come
back on every page. It holds the single character `1` and lasts a year. That
is the whole of it.
What is not set
No advertising cookies. No analytics cookies or scripts — there is no Google
Analytics, no Plausible, no Vercel Analytics and no tag manager on any page of
this site. A page's owner does see counts of its views and link clicks, but
those are tallied on our server without any cookie; the privacy policy says
exactly what they hold. No cookie that follows you to another site, and none
that is shared with anybody.
Some settings are kept in your own browser's storage rather than in a cookie —
whether you dismissed a warning, which tab you had open. That never leaves your
browser and is not sent with any request.
Things other people's embeds do
If a page you visit here embeds something — a Spotify player, a YouTube video, a
widget pulling from another service — that service is loaded by your browser and
can set its own cookies under its own rules. That is between you and them; we do
not receive them and cannot read them.
The same is true of the sign-in flows: going to Discord, Steam or GitHub to
prove an account puts you on their site for a moment, under their policy.
Why there is no Accept or Reject
Because there would be nothing behind the buttons. Both cookies above are
strictly necessary — one keeps you signed in, the other remembers that you
closed a notice — and a banner that sets the same things whichever button you
press is theatre. If this site ever adds a cookie that is not necessary, it will
ask first, and that will be a real question.
Turning them off
Every browser can block or delete cookies, per site, in its own settings.
Blocking them here costs you nothing except the ability to stay signed in — the
public pages work exactly the same.
