Privacy & Cookies
The short, honest version.
No accounts or ads
Mythic Dream has no sign-up or advertising. I do not sell personal data.
The cookies I use
One first-party cookie remembers your chosen language (md_locale). If you accept, a second holds an anonymous, random visit counter and your timezone offset (md_visitor) so the dream can gently vary for returning visits; choosing “Essential only” keeps that one off. Those two are the whole list — nothing here is set by anyone but this site.
What I measure
Aggregate, anonymous signals about how the experience is used — which worlds appear, roughly when, and whether people drift off to sleep — so I can make it calmer. It cannot identify you. This counting is first-party and runs whichever cookie choice you make: it sets no cookie at all, only a random per-tab label your browser forgets when you close the tab, so it can never join two visits together or follow you anywhere.
Your constellation stays with you
The gods you meet in the dream are remembered only in your own browser (local storage) to build your personal “sky.” This never leaves your device and is never sent to me. Clear your browser data to reset it.
Vercel Web Analytics
Page views are also counted by Vercel Web Analytics, which runs on the hosting this site already uses. It sets no cookie and stores nothing on your device; to tell one visitor from another within a day it derives a one-way hash from the request, and that hash is rotated daily, so it cannot follow you from one day to the next or onto any other site. It records the page you were on and general technical detail such as browser, device type and rough region. Because it needs no cookie, it sits outside the choice above. Visits to my own admin pages are never counted.
Your control
Clear your browser cookies at any time to reset your preference. Choosing “Essential only” keeps the site fully working; you simply won’t be recognised as a returning visitor, so the dream will greet you as new each time.
Your journal is yours alone
Anything you write on the morning page is kept in your browser and nowhere else — I never receive it, and it is never sent anywhere to be matched. The gods it names are found by comparing your words against a list already on the page. Each entry has a “Forget” button, and clearing your browser data erases them all.
The nights you dreamed
Your browser also keeps a short private list of the nights you visited, with the world you walked and the gods in it — that is what the tally and the keepsake card are drawn from. It stays on your device. Making a keepsake card asks my server to draw one, so it briefly sees the names of the world and gods going onto that card, and nothing else about you.
