Cookie Policy

Template text, last updated 25 October 2026. It is not legal advice and is due for review by the owner.

darkhistoryfiles.org runs no advertising trackers and sets no tracking cookies, so there is no cookie banner. We count visits with Cloudflare Web Analytics, which uses no cookies and no fingerprinting and reports totals only.

The only cookie we set is __Host-dhf_club, and only for Case File Club members who sign in. It keeps you signed in to your library for up to 30 days. It is strictly necessary for the service you asked for, holds no personal details beyond a customer number, and is never used for tracking. Signing out deletes it.

When you click a buy, join or tip button you move to Stripe's checkout page (checkout.stripe.com). Stripe uses its own cookies there, which are needed to take payment safely and prevent fraud. See Stripe's cookie policy.

Links to YouTube take you to YouTube, which follows Google's own cookie rules.

If we ever add non-essential cookies, we will update this page and ask for your consent first.
