Cookie Policy
1. Introduction
This Cookie Policy explains how Harbinger Tribune, operated by Harbinger Bros. LLC (1309 Coffeen Avenue, Sheridan, WY 82801, USA), uses browser storage technologies on harbingertribune.com. We are dedicated to transparency. This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.
2. What We Use
Harbinger Tribune uses one (1) localStorage item. We do not use advertising cookies, analytics trackers, third-party scripts, or social media plugins. Our technology footprint is intentionally minimal to protect your privacy and ensure fast page loads.
3. localStorage Reference Table
| Storage Key | Type | Purpose | Data Stored | Expiry | First/Third Party | EU Legal Basis |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
hpm_cookie_consent |
localStorage | Records your interaction with the consent banner; prevents repeated display on return visits | Consent status string (“accepted” or “declined”); no personal identifiers | Persistent; user must manually clear browser storage to reset | First party only | §25(2) No. 2 TDDDG; Art. 5(3) ePrivacy Directive — strictly necessary exemption |
4. Legal Framework
For EU/EEA visitors, access to or storage of data on your terminal device is governed by Article 5(3) of the ePrivacy Directive (2002/58/EC) and §25 TDDDG (Germany). Because our single localStorage item is strictly necessary to honour your stated consent preference, no separate consent is required under §25(2) No. 2 TDDDG. For UK visitors, Regulation 6(4) PECR applies the same strictly necessary exemption. US visitors are not subject to equivalent federal consent requirements for technically necessary first-party storage.
5. Deleting localStorage Data

- Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Delete browsing data → Cookies and other site data; or DevTools (F12) → Application → Local Storage → harbingertribune.com → Clear

- Safari: Safari → Settings → Privacy → Manage Website Data → remove harbingertribune.com

Clearing this item will cause the consent banner to reappear on your next visit.
