Cookie Policy

Last updated: 3 September 2025

This Cookie Policy explains how The Reality (“we”, “us”, “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies on our website. We use only:

• cookies needed to run the site (login, security)
• Cloudflare security/performance cookies
• first-party analytics cookies from our self-hosted Matomo.

We heavily value privacy. We do not use advertising or social media tracking cookies. Analytics cookies and data are self hosted, stay with us and are not shared with third parties.

What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device by your browser. Some are essential for a website to function; others help us understand how the site is used.

How we use cookies

1) Strictly necessary (functional) cookies

Used to operate the website, enable login, keep your session, and protect against CSRF.

2) Security & performance (Cloudflare)

We use Cloudflare for our WAF and Turnstile bot protection. Cloudflare may set short-lived cookies to distinguish humans from bots and keep the site fast and secure.

These security cookies are essential. Blocking them may prevent the site from loading.

3) Analytics (Matomo) — first-party, limited/“beperkt analytisch”

We run our own Matomo for basic audience measurement. Cookies are first-party (our domain only). Data is used in aggregate to improve the site. We do not share analytics data with third parties or use it for advertising.
