Cookie Policy

Effective date: September 25, 2026

This Cookie Policy explains how Hierarchical Navigable Small World (hierarchicalnavigablesmallworld.com), operated by Taptwice Media, uses cookies and similar technologies. It should be read together with our Privacy Policy.

What cookies are

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help the site remember preferences, keep sessions secure, or understand how the site is used.

Cookies we use

Essential / functional

WordPress may set cookies that are required for the Site to work correctly, including when a site administrator is logged in to the dashboard. These cookies are necessary for authentication and security of administrative sessions. Ordinary readers who are not logged in typically do not receive account-session cookies from us.

Analytics and advertising

We do not currently place third-party advertising cookies or a dedicated marketing tracker on the Site. If we add analytics or similar tools later, we will update this page and, where required, request consent.

Server logs

Our hosting environment may record IP addresses and request metadata in logs. That is not a browser cookie, but it is technical data processed when you visit. See the Privacy Policy for how we treat that information.

Managing cookies

Most browsers let you block or delete cookies through their settings. Blocking all cookies may affect parts of the Site that rely on them (especially if you are a logged-in administrator). Consult your browser’s help documentation for instructions.

Changes

We may update this Cookie Policy when our use of cookies changes. The effective date at the top of this page will be revised accordingly.
