Cookies
Cookies are small files a website stores in your browser. We use them to remember your choices and to understand how the site is used. Below is everything verklagnir.is stores in your browser, and what each item is for.
Your choice
The first time you visit we ask whether you allow cookies. Analytics and marketing cookies are not set until you accept — until then Google and Meta are told to store nothing. Necessary cookies are always set; the site doesn't work without them.
| Name | Category | Set by | What it does | Retention |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| cookie-consent | Necessary | Verklagnir | Stores whether you allowed cookies, so we don't ask again on every visit. | 1 year |
| theme-v2 | Necessary | Verklagnir | Remembers whether you chose the light or dark theme. Kept in the browser's local storage rather than a cookie, and never sent to us. | Until you clear your browser |
| __prerender_bypass | Necessary | Verklagnir | Only for staff previewing unpublished content from the CMS. Ordinary visitors never receive it. | Until the browser closes |
| _ga | Analytics | Google Analytics | Gives your browser an identifier so visits can be counted and we can see which pages are read most. | 2 years |
| _ga_XXXXXXXXXX | Analytics | Google Analytics | Tracks the current visit — when it started and whether it is still running. The suffix is our measurement property's id. | 2 years |
| _gcl_au | Marketing | Set when Google's advertising links are active; measures whether a visit came through an ad. | 3 months | |
| _fbp | Marketing | Meta (Facebook) | Identifies the browser to Meta so the performance of ads on Facebook and Instagram can be measured. | 3 months |
| _fbc | Marketing | Meta (Facebook) | Stores the id of the ad you clicked — set only if you arrived here from a Meta ad. | 3 months |
Managing cookies in your browser
You can delete or block cookies at any time in your browser settings. Note that this also erases the choice above, so the site will ask again.
