What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your device when you visit. They help the site function, remember your preferences, and understand how it’s used.
Which cookies we use
1. Strictly necessary (always active)
These cookies are required for the basic functionality of the site. Without them the site doesn’t work properly. They do not require your consent because their processing is based on a legitimate interest.
| Cookie | Purpose | Storage |
|---|---|---|
theme | Remembers your light/dark mode choice | 1 year |
__session | Admin session cookie (admin users only) | 5 days |
| Cloudflare security cookies | DDoS protection, bot detection | 30 days |
2. Analytics (consent required)
NorriWire uses Google Analytics 4 (measurement ID G-H2Z7SZDT4C) to understand which pages are useful and how to improve content. These cookies are not set until you have consented — we use Google Consent Mode v2, which by default blocks all marketing and analytics signals until you click “Accept all” in the cookie banner.
| Cookie | Purpose | Storage |
|---|---|---|
_ga | Google Analytics — distinguishes users | 2 years |
_ga_H2Z7SZDT4C | Google Analytics — session state | 2 years |
nw-consent-v1 | localStorage — remembers your cookie choice | 12 months |
To revoke your consent after granting it, delete the nw-consent-v1 entry from the browser’s localStorage (DevTools → Application → Local Storage → norriwire.com). The cookie banner will reappear on the next page load.
3. Marketing / tracking (NOT USED)
We do not run Facebook Pixel, Google Ads, TikTok Pixel, or other cross-site tracking tools. NorriWire is an ad-free platform — our monetisation comes from affiliate partnerships, which don’t require user tracking.
4. Affiliate-tracking cookies (third-party)
When you click an affiliate link on our site and land on the partner’s platform, the partner (e.g. an exchange) may set its own cookie to attribute the conversion. That cookie is set on the partner’s domain (not ours) and is governed by the partner’s privacy policy.
We don’t receive personal information about this tracking — only an aggregate signal of whether the conversion happened. If you don’t want such cookies set, don’t click affiliate links (they’re generally labelled “Visit [provider]” with a disclosure).
How to control cookies
Browser settings
All modern browsers allow you to control or delete cookies:
- Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data
- Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
- Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data
- Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions
Note that disabling strictly necessary cookies will break some site features (such as theme persistence).
Do Not Track (DNT)
We respect the browser’s DNT signal as an implicit refusal of consent for analytics cookies. Right now, with no analytics cookies set without consent, this signal changes nothing — but we make sure it works in any future implementation.
