Cookie Policy
Last updated: June 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how Harbinger Tribune uses cookies and similar storage technologies on harbingertribune.com in accordance with the EU ePrivacy Directive (2002/58/EC as amended) and the GDPR.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device by a website. They serve various purposes, including remembering your preferences and enabling website functionality. In addition to traditional cookies, modern websites also use technologies such as Local Storage and Session Storage, which store data locally in your browser without transmitting it with every HTTP request. For the purposes of this policy, all such storage technologies are collectively referred to as "cookies".
2. Cookies and Storage Items We Use
| Name | Type | Provider | Purpose | Legal Basis | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
hpm_cookie_consent |
Local Storage | Harbinger Tribune (first-party) | Stores your cookie consent preferences to prevent the consent banner from reappearing on every visit | Technically necessary – ePrivacy Directive Art. 5(3); Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR | Until cleared by user |
3. Strictly Necessary Storage
The hpm_cookie_consent entry is strictly necessary for the functioning of the consent management system. Without it, the Website would be unable to remember your consent decision, and the consent banner would reappear on every page load. Strictly necessary cookies do not require your prior consent.

- Performance or analytics cookies (e.g. Google Analytics, Matomo, Hotjar)
- Advertising or targeting cookies (e.g. Google Ads, Facebook Pixel, LinkedIn Insight Tag)
- Social media plugins or sharing buttons that set third-party cookies
- Session replay tools (e.g. Mouseflow, FullStory, Microsoft Clarity)
- Cross-site tracking technologies
- Browser fingerprinting
- Any third-party cookies whatsoever
