Cookie Policy

Napblog Limited — napblog.com and os.napblog.com

Last updated: 1 September 2026

This policy explains the cookies and similar technologies we use, why we use them, and how you control them. It sits alongside our Privacy Policy.


The short version

We use a small number of essential cookies to make the site and the platform work. These are set automatically because the service cannot function without them.

Everything else — analytics and marketing — is optional. Those cookies are set only if you consent, and you can change your mind at any time.

We do not use cookies to build advertising profiles, and we do not share cookie data with advertising networks or data brokers.

What a cookie is

A cookie is a small text file placed on your device when you visit a website. It lets the site remember things between pages and between visits — that you are signed in, what is in your cart, or which preferences you have set. Similar technologies such as local storage and tracking pixels work in comparable ways, and this policy covers them too.

Essential cookies

These are necessary for the site and platform to operate. They cannot be switched off, and under the ePrivacy rules they do not require consent.

Set only with your consent. These help us understand which pages people use, so we can improve them.

You can withdraw consent at any time using the link at the end of this page. Google Analytics also offers a browser opt-out add-on.

Third-party embeds

Some pages embed content from other services — for example a video, a booking link or a chat widget. Those services may set their own cookies when the content loads. Where an embed is not essential to the page, we load it only after you have consented.

Managing your choices

On our site. Use the cookie preferences control to accept, reject or change optional cookies at any time. Rejecting optional cookies does not affect your access to any part of the service.

In your browser. Every major browser lets you block or delete cookies, and offers a private browsing mode. Blocking essential cookies will stop parts of the site working — you may not be able to stay signed in.

Changes

We update this page whenever the cookies we use change, and we update the date at the top.
