At Original Narratives, we use cookies to offer you the smoothest experience possible across our website. This notice explains what cookies are, how we use them, and how you can manage your preferences.

What is a Cookie?

A cookie is a small piece of data stored on your browser when you visit a website. It allows the site to remember your actions and preferences (like language or login state) so you don’t have to re-enter them every time you return.

Cookies help us improve how the site performs — making your visit not only easier, but more meaningful.

What Types of Cookies Do We Use?

We use several types of cookies across our platform. These fall into two main categories:

First-party cookies

These are set directly by our website (www.original-narratives.com) to help with core site functionality — for example, remembering which language you selected.

Third-party cookies

These are set by services we use to support content and analytics — for example, embedded videos (Vimeo, YouTube), newsletter signup tools (like Mailchimp), or traffic analysis (such as Google Analytics).

We do not use cookies for advertising purposes. Our aim is clarity and comfort, not clutter.

Essential vs. Optional Cookies

Some cookies are strictly necessary to make the site function — like remembering your waitlist preferences, loading pages quickly, or securely submitting forms.

Other cookies are optional, and we’ll always ask your permission before enabling them. These include cookies used to measure performance, help us understand which content resonates, or support embedded services.

Where Will I See the Cookie Notice?

When you visit our website for the first time, you’ll see a pop-up with details about our cookie use.

You can:

  • Accept all optional cookies

  • Continue browsing without enabling them

  • Return later to change your settings

If no action is taken, the pop-up will return each time — until you make your choice.
