What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files that a website stores in your browser, for example to remember settings.

Cookies on onspotstory.com

We don't use any cookies for tracking or marketing. We collect visitor statistics with Matomo without cookies. That's why we don't show a cookie banner.

The site can set two cookies of its own, and only in these cases:

  • NEXT_LOCALE – remembers the language you have chosen. Only set if you change language with the language switcher at the top right. Kept for one year.
  • payload-token – keeps editors logged in to our publishing tool. Only set when someone logs in to the admin, never for ordinary visitors. Valid for two hours.

Embedded videos from YouTube

The About us page has videos from YouTube. They load from youtube-nocookie.com and set no cookies before you start a video. When you play a video, YouTube (Google) may store cookies and similar data in your browser. Read more in Google's privacy policy.

How to manage cookies

You can delete or block cookies at any time in your browser settings. The site works without cookies too – you will just need to choose your language again.
