This page explains exactly what information we gather when you visit our collection of myths and folklore, why we gather it, and how you can ask for it to be removed entirely. We don't believe in hoarding data any more than we'd hoard a story without telling it — we keep only the smallest amount needed to keep this archive of legends running smoothly for you.
If you subscribe to our newsletter of myths and legends, we store the email address you give us. If you write to us about a folk tale, a legend, or an old book you'd like us to cover, we keep whatever you include in that message. We also collect basic technical details — browser type, device, and which stories or ancient art features you open — so we can understand how readers explore the archive.
We use a handful of cookies to remember how you like to read — dark mode, saved stories, that sort of thing — and to count how many visitors wander through our collection of myths and legends each month. None of this is used to track you across other sites, and you're always free to clear or block these cookies in your browser settings.
We never sell your details, and we never hand them over to advertisers chasing clicks. A small, carefully chosen list of trusted providers helps us send our newsletter of folklore and legend, and keeps the site itself — including every old book excerpt and piece of ancient art we feature — running and secure.
Data sits on protected systems, and access is limited to the people who run the journal.
You can unsubscribe from any email in one click, and ask us to show, correct or delete what we hold.
If anything changes we will update this page and move the date at the top.
