Cookie policy
A clear explanation of browser storage used by Jennifer Collins Blog.
Last updated: 1 October 2026
Essential storage
The public site uses a small item in your browser’s local storage to remember that you dismissed the cookie notice. If you react to a story, a first-party cookie remembers your pseudonymous reaction choice for up to one year. Clearing it can remove your selection on this device but does not automatically subtract an earlier reaction from the shared count.
After a story remains visible for at least 10 seconds and you meaningfully scroll through it, a separate first-party pseudonymous cookie may be set for up to one year. It helps ensure the same browser contributes no more than one qualified read to that story during a 24-hour period. The cookie does not contain your name, email address or location.
Analytics and advertising
Jennifer Collins Blog uses Vercel Web Analytics for aggregated page-view statistics. Vercel says this service does not use third-party cookies. Qualified-read reporting stores only aggregate country codes, not cities or exact locations. We do not intentionally set advertising cookies. Vercel also processes technical requests to host and protect the site. If we add other tracking or advertising tools, we will update this policy and the consent experience where required.
Third-party services
Facebook video players are not loaded automatically. If you choose “Play video” or follow a “Watch on Facebook” link, your browser connects to Meta. Meta may then receive technical information and use cookies or similar technologies under its own privacy and cookie practices. Contact, newsletter, social media and other external features may likewise involve the relevant third-party service when you choose to use them.
Your controls
You can clear site data from your browser settings at any time. The site also respects supported Global Privacy Control or Do Not Track browser signals for qualified-read registration. Blocking browser storage may affect whether this notice stays dismissed, whether your reaction choice can be recognized later, or how duplicate reads are limited.
