Cookie Policy
Last updated: July 30, 2026
Verba uses local browser storage for essential preferences and, only with your permission, cookies and similar technologies for analytics and third-party content.
Your choice comes first
Optional analytics and embedded posts from X do not load until you accept them. Rejecting optional technologies does not prevent you from reading Verba. The Substack subscription form remains available as a third-party subscription service. You can change your choice at any time:
Necessary local storage
These entries are stored in your browser because they are needed to remember choices you explicitly make. They are not used for advertising.
| Name | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| verba-theme | Remembers light or dark theme. | Until deleted |
| verba-privacy-consent-v2 | Remembers your privacy preferences. | Until deleted or the consent version changes |
Optional analytics
If you allow analytics, Google Analytics 4 may set the following first-party cookies:
| Cookie | Purpose | Default duration |
|---|---|---|
| _ga | Distinguishes users. | 2 years |
| _ga_<container-id> | Persists session state. | 2 years |
Google documents these cookies in its Analytics cookie guidance.
Substack subscription form
The subscription form is hosted by Substack and loads directly from its domain. Substack may use its own cookies or similar technologies and processes information under its own privacy terms. The form includes links to Substack's terms and privacy information.
Optional embedded posts
Allowing embedded posts loads content from X. Requests then connect directly to X, which may use its own cookies or similar technologies. Their names and durations can change independently of Verba.
Browser controls
You can also delete or block cookies and local storage through your browser settings. Deleting Verba's preference entry means the website will ask for your choices again.
