Cookie policy
Last updated 21 October 2026
usetale.com keeps only what it needs to work. It sets no advertising, analytics or tracking cookies, and nothing that follows you to other sites. Because everything here is necessary for the site to work and stay safe, there is nothing to accept or refuse.
The law treats cookies and anything else a site stores in your browser the same way, so this page lists both.
What the site keeps
| What | Why | How long |
|---|---|---|
__Host-tale_previewCookie, usetale.com | Keeps you in the private preview after your invitation code is accepted. Set only then, and only for this site. Necessary. | Until you leave the preview, or your invitation ends: at most 30 days |
cf_clearance, __cf_bmCookies, set by Cloudflare | Cloudflare protects the site from bots and attacks. When it checks that a visitor is a person, it may set one of these so it doesn’t ask again. Necessary, for security. | Under Cloudflare’s settings: __cf_bm 30 minutes; cf_clearance for as long as the check holds |
tale:transition, tale:seenSession storage, usetale.com | Plays the transition between pages, and the opening reveal once per visit. Never sent to us. Necessary. | Until you close the tab |
tale-noticeLocal storage, usetale.com | Remembers that you’ve read the note about cookies, so it doesn’t appear on every page. Never sent to us. Necessary. | 12 months, then the note appears once more |
Analytics
We run no analytics. If we ever add them, they will stay off unless you choose to allow them, and this page will name each one before it runs.
Your choice
You can clear what the site has stored from your browser’s settings at any time. The site works the same, except that you’d need your invitation code again to enter the preview.
