Library of Human Experience uses a small number of cookies to function properly and provide essential website features.
When you first visit the site, a cookie banner is shown to inform you about the use of cookies.
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that websites place on your device to help them function properly and provide a better experience. Cookies do not give me access to your device or personal files.
There are two main types:
Session cookies: Temporary files that disappear when you close your browser
Persistent cookies: Files that stay on your device until they expire or you delete them
How I Use Cookies on Library of Human Experience
I use cookies only for essential website functionality. These help the site operate correctly and provide features such as:
Account functionality
If you create an account to bookmark stories or save your preferences, cookies help:

These cookies are required for the site to work properly. If you do not wish to use them, you should not continue to use the site or should disable cookies in your browser (note: some features may not work).
Cookie Banner & Notice
When you visit Library of Human Experience for the first time, a cookie banner appears to let you know how cookies are used.
Clicking “OK” simply dismisses the banner. It does not change how cookies are used.

Your choice to dismiss the banner is remembered, and it will not appear again unless you clear your browser cookies.
Privacy-Focused Analytics (No Tracking Cookies)
To understand how people use Library of Human Experience and improve the experience, I use Independent Analytics, a privacy-focused analytics tool that:
- Does not track you across other websites
- Does not collect personal information
- Does not use cookies for tracking
- Stores all data on my own servers
- Complies with privacy regulations like GDPR
This tool helps me understand how people use the site and improve the website, all while respecting your privacy.
