How and why yncnetwork.com uses cookies.
Last updated: August 2026
Cookies are small text files stored on your device by your web browser when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites function correctly and to provide information to site owners.
yncnetwork.com uses two cookies, both strictly necessary and both first-party (set directly by us, never by an advertiser or third party):
| Cookie Name | Purpose | Duration | Type |
|---|---|---|---|
ync_session | A technical session identifier set as standard web-server behaviour when any page loads. For newsroom staff, it also keeps you logged in to the admin panel. For everyone else, no personal data is stored against it — it carries nothing to read once your browser closes it. | Session (deleted when browser closes) | Strictly Necessary |
ync_cookie_consent | Remembers that you have dismissed the cookie notice below, so we do not show it to you again on every page. | 1 year | Strictly Necessary |
Both cookies above are strictly necessary: the session cookie keeps the site and staff login working, and the consent cookie simply remembers you have seen this notice. Neither is used for advertising, analytics, or tracking, so there is no optional tracking cookie to opt out of. You can still block or delete cookies entirely through your browser settings — doing so will not stop you from reading YNC, though it will bring the cookie notice back on your next visit and will prevent staff from staying logged in to the admin panel.
