Narrative Council

# Cookie and Similar Technologies Policy **Effective date:** September 1, 2026 **Last updated:** September 1, 2026 Hajar Labs LLC uses essential first-party storage and similar technologies to operate Narrative Council. This policy should be read with our Privacy Notice. ## Essential technologies Essential technologies support account authentication, security, fraud prevention, session continuity, accessibility preferences, checkout continuity, and a local record of privacy choices. They are necessary to provide the service you request and cannot be disabled through a preference control without affecting that service. Project-form drafts stored in the browser are treated as essential continuity data and are designed to expire under the draft-retention policy. ## Optional technologies Optional analytics and advertising technologies are **off by default**. We do not load optional analytics or advertising tags unless an approved consent authority exists and you affirmatively choose the optional category. A choice can be withdrawn through the privacy choices control when available. Withdrawal stops future optional collection; it does not automatically erase information already lawfully processed. ## Your choices You can manage available choices through the privacy controls on the site. You can also change browser settings to block or clear storage, though doing so can affect sign-in and service continuity. For privacy requests, email keith@narrativecouncil.com.
