Cookies
Every cookie, and what it is for.
CERNERE uses four cookies, all its own, and keeps a few preferences in your browser. There are no advertising cookies and no third-party trackers.
Opt out of analytics
Our analytics counts page visits. You can stop it linking your visits together: after you opt out, visits from this browser are still counted, but with no analytics cookie, no stored IP address and no country lookup.

Your browser's Global Privacy Control or Do Not Track setting does the same thing automatically. The opt-out is remembered by a small cookie (cnoptout), which is only there to remember your choice.
There is no cookie banner. CERNERE relies on its legitimate interest in understanding which free pages are useful, and gives you a free, simple way to object.
Cookies
| Name | What it does | How long | Type |
|---|---|---|---|
cnv | Analytics. A random number that lets our own visitor log tell a returning browser from a new one, and lets the site owner leave out their own visits. It holds nothing about you and no page script can read it. Not set if you opt out or your browser sends Global Privacy Control or Do Not Track. | 2 years | Analytics, first party |
cnoptout | Remembers that you opted out of analytics. | 5 years, or until you turn analytics back on | Strictly necessary |
fc_forum | Forum only. Keeps you signed in during a visit, and protects the sign-in, registration and posting forms from forgery. Set when you open the sign-in or registration page. | Until you close the browser | Strictly necessary |
fc_forum_remember | Forum only, and only if you tick "remember me" when signing in. Keeps you signed in on this device. | 30 days | Sign-in convenience you choose |
Signing in to the forum does not change your analytics choice. The forum's sign-in cookie is used only to keep you signed in.
Things kept only in your browser

Blocking cookies
You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings. The recipes, plans, guides and tools all keep working without cookies. The forum needs fc_forum to sign you in, so you can read the forum without cookies but not post.
