Cookie Policy

Harbinger Post — harbingerpost.com — Last updated: June 10, 2026

1. Introduction

This Cookie Policy explains how Harbinger Post, operated by Harbinger Bros. LLC, 1309 Coffeen Avenue, Sheridan, WY 82801, United States, uses browser storage technologies on harbingerpost.com. We are committed to transparency about the technologies we employ. This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.

2. What Are Cookies and Local Storage?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device by a website you visit. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently and to provide information to website operators. “localStorage” is a related web browser technology that allows websites to store data locally within the user's browser. Unlike cookies, localStorage data is not automatically sent to the server with each HTTP request; it remains on the user's device until explicitly cleared.

Both technologies can store information about your preferences or interactions with a website. Depending on the applicable law in your jurisdiction, accessing or storing information on a user's device may require your consent (see Section 5 below).

3. Technologies We Use

Harbinger Post maintains a minimal technology footprint. We do not use:

• Advertising cookies or tracking pixels
• Third-party analytics cookies (e.g., Google Analytics, Matomo)
• Social media plug-in cookies
• Session cookies tied to user accounts (as we have no user account system)
• Fingerprinting or supercookie technologies

We use two (2) localStorage items, described in full below.

5. Legal Basis for Use of Storage Technologies

We apply a single, globally consistent standard for the use of storage technologies, regardless of a visitor's location. Both localStorage items described in Section 4 fall within a “strictly necessary” exemption from consent requirements under every framework we are aware could be relevant to our visitors, including: Article 5(3) of the ePrivacy Directive (2002/58/EC as amended by 2009/136/EC) and, in Germany specifically, §25(2) No. 2 of the Telekommunikation-Digitale-Dienste-Datenschutz-Gesetz (“TDDDG”), in force since 13 May 2024; Regulation 6(4) of the UK Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003 (PECR); and the CCPA/CPRA (California), which does not classify first-party, non-tracking localStorage items as “personal information” where they contain no personal identifiers.

The hpm_cookie_consent item is required to ensure that we honour your stated preference regarding the cookie banner, a function explicitly requested by your interaction with that interface. The hpm_accessibility item is required to honour accessibility preferences you explicitly select via the accessibility widget, a feature explicitly requested by your interaction with that interface. Where we introduce any storage technology beyond this strictly necessary category in the future, we will obtain your prior, freely given, specific, and informed consent before setting it — applied consistently to every visitor, regardless of location — and refusal will not limit your access to our content.

6. How to Delete localStorage Data

The quickest way to change your choice — including whether Vercel Web Analytics and Cloudflare Web Analytics are active — is to click the cookie icon in the bottom-right corner of the page, available at any time, or Cookie Settings in the website footer. Either one reopens the consent panel, where you can accept, decline, or set individual preferences; your updated choice takes effect immediately and does not require clearing browser storage manually.

You can delete the hpm_cookie_consent item and any other locally stored data from harbingerpost.com at any time using your browser's built-in tools. Instructions for major browsers:

Google Chrome

1. Click the three-dot menu (“⋮”) in the top right corner
2. Go to Settings → Privacy and security → Delete browsing data
3. Select “Cookies and other site data” and click “Delete data”
4. Alternatively, press F12 to open Developer Tools, go to Application → Storage → Local Storage, right-click harbingerpost.com, and select “Clear”

Mozilla Firefox

1. Click the hamburger menu (“☰”) → Settings → Privacy & Security
2. Scroll to “Cookies and Site Data” → “Clear Data”
3. Or press F12 → Storage → Local Storage → select and delete the entry

Microsoft Edge

2. Search for harbingerpost.com and remove stored data

Please note that deleting the hpm_cookie_consent item will cause the cookie consent banner to appear again on your next visit, as we will no longer have a record of your preference.

7. Third-Party Storage

Harbinger Post does not embed third-party scripts, widgets, or services that would set cookies or access localStorage on our behalf. Our content delivery is handled exclusively by Vercel Inc., whose CDN nodes do not set cookies on our domain.

8. Changes to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. The date of the last revision is indicated at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.

9. International Applicability

This Cookie Policy is designed to meet cookie and local-storage disclosure requirements beyond the EU/EEA as well, including the CCPA/CPRA (California), the UK GDPR, the LGPD (Brazil), PIPEDA (Canada), the Privacy Act 1988 (Australia), the Digital Personal Data Protection Act 2023 (India), and the Personal Information Protection Act (South Korea). Because we use only strictly necessary local-storage items and the cookie-less Vercel Web Analytics and Cloudflare Web Analytics tools described above, no additional jurisdiction-specific cookie consent obligations arise beyond what is already described in this policy.

10. Supervisory Authorities (EU/UK Residents)

Although, for the reasons explained in our Privacy Policy, we do not consider ourselves subject to the jurisdiction of EU/UK supervisory authorities on a targeting basis, if you are located in the EU, EEA, or United Kingdom and believe such an authority nonetheless has jurisdiction over a cookie- or storage-related concern, the principal supervisory authorities are:
