Cookies
Effective 26 October 2026
This page lists every cookie and every browser-storage entry GreenMind's websites set, how our websites count visits without cookies, and when content from other companies waits for your click. Our privacy policy covers everything else we do with your information.
1. What our sites store
Our websites store only what they need to work: they keep you signed in and remember choices you make. None of it needs your consent, and none of it tracks you across other sites.
| Name | Site | What it is for | How long |
|---|---|---|---|
__Host-firebase-auth-token | greenmindmedia.com | Keeps you signed in to your GreenMind account | 14 days, renewed while you keep using the site |
__Host-gm-portal-accounts | greenmindmedia.com | Remembers which GreenMind accounts you are signed in to on this browser | 14 days, renewed while you keep using the site |
firebaseLocalStorageDb (browser storage) | greenmindmedia.com | Lets Google Firebase remember that you are signed in on this device | Until you sign out |
gm-sign-in-continued (browser storage) | greenmindmedia.com | Stops the sign-in page repeating an automatic sign-in that did not work | Until you close the tab |
gm-patreon-connect | greenmindmedia.com | Carries a Patreon connection in progress between Patreon and your GreenMind account | 10 minutes |
ory_hydra_… | accounts.greenmindmedia.com | Protects a sign-in to one of our apps from forged requests while it happens | Until the sign-in finishes |
gm-sign-in | dawnofirkalla.gg, onlylore.com | Carries a sign-in in progress between the site and GreenMind | 10 minutes |
__Host-gm-session | dawnofirkalla.gg, onlylore.com | Keeps you signed in to the site | 30 days |
__Host-gm-accounts | dawnofirkalla.gg, onlylore.com | Remembers which GreenMind accounts you are signed in to on the site | 30 days |
gm-embeds-always (browser storage) | Every GreenMind website | Remembers that you chose to always load YouTube videos or Discord widgets, where they otherwise wait for a click | Until you clear it |
vw-portal-realm (browser storage) | dawnofirkalla.gg | Remembers which realm you last chose | Until you clear it |
gm-lore-universe (browser storage) | onlylore.com | Remembers which universe you last opened | Until you clear it |
Google Firebase, which runs sign-in on greenmindmedia.com, may also load a small helper page from Google's servers so that signing in works on phones and in Safari. Signing in with Google opens Google's own sign-in page, where Google's cookies apply.
2. Counting visits
Our websites count every visit, without cookies and without asking first. Each page loads a small counting script from the website's own address (under /stats/), and the website passes what it reports on to our own counting server, which runs Umami, software we operate ourselves. No analytics company receives it.
What is counted is the page you view, the site that sent you there, any campaign tags in the address of the page (the utm_ parameters a link of ours carries), your browser, operating system, device type, screen size and language, and the country and city your IP address places you in. Every other part of the address after the question mark is left out, because such parts can carry sign-in codes and invitations.
It sets no cookie and stores nothing in your browser. To tell one visitor from another, our server combines your IP address and browser with a secret value that is replaced regularly, and keeps only the one-way code that results; your IP address itself is not kept. Visits cannot be linked to your GreenMind account, nor to each other across a replacement of the secret. Nothing is shared with anyone else, and each visit is deleted after 24 months.
3. Content from other companies
Some of our pages show YouTube videos and our Discord server's widget. Where the law asks for your consent before such content loads (the European Union and the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, Switzerland and Quebec), and wherever we cannot tell where you are, each one shows a placeholder instead, and nothing is requested from YouTube or Discord until you press it. Pressing it loads that one video or widget. Choosing to always load YouTube videos or Discord widgets on a placeholder loads them on our pages from then on, and that choice is kept in your browser, as the table above lists. Everywhere else they load with the page.
We tell where you are from your IP address when you open a page, looking it up on our own servers in a copy of DB-IP's country database (IP Geolocation by DB-IP), and keep it for nothing else. YouTube videos always play through YouTube's privacy-enhanced mode (youtube-nocookie.com), which sets nothing until a video plays.
Once loaded, Google and Discord receive your IP address and may set cookies of their own, under Google's and Discord's privacy policies.
4. Changing your mind
Clearing your browser's cookies and site data for our sites removes everything in the table above, the choice to always load other companies' content included, and signs you out. Your other rights, including to object to how we use your information, are set out in our privacy policy.
