Cookie policy

1. What cookies do

Cookies are small values stored by a browser. They can remember a preference, support a session, or help a site understand broad usage. Nymera uses them sparingly and does not require optional analytics to read public articles. Examples of what a cookie can store include a language choice, a banner decision, or a random session code used to keep a form submission together. Cookies cannot run programs or carry viruses by themselves, and they are not a record of the pages you read on other sites. Similar technologies, such as local storage in the browser, are covered by this policy when they serve the same purpose. The site works for reading without optional values, and rejecting them does not remove any article or page. For instance, if you choose an option on the banner and then open another article, the stored choice is read by the page so that the question is not repeated. The values are described section by section on this page, so that a reader can compare what is listed here with what a browser shows. Values set by the site itself are first-party, while values set by another domain are third-party, and this policy distinguishes between the two throughout. The site is written for adults, and we do not design any value to identify a minor.

2. Essential operation

Security and hosting systems may use short-lived session identifiers, load balancing values, or anti-abuse markers. These values support delivery and protection rather than advertising. Lifetimes vary from the current session to 30 days depending on the service. These values are typically set by the hosting infrastructure rather than by editorial code, and they expire when the session ends or within the maximum period noted. Security-related markers can help the host distinguish normal reading from automated traffic that could slow the site for everyone. Because they are required for delivery and protection, they do not depend on the banner choice. We do not use them to track what you read across other sites, to rank content, or to show advertising. Examples include a short-lived session marker that keeps a contact form submission together, a delivery-network value that routes a request to a nearby server, and an anti-abuse marker that limits repeated automated requests. Most of these expire when the browser closes or within 24 hours, and none lasts longer than 30 days. Under Indonesian Law No. 27 of 2022 on Personal Data Protection, such values rest on a legitimate interest in running and securing the site, and they are kept to the minimum necessary. If you block them, pages may load more slowly or a form may fail to submit.

3. Cookie choice

The cookie banner stores a value named cookieChoice when you select Accept or Reject optional. It is used to avoid repeatedly asking the same question and remains until you remove it or change your choice. It does not contain a name, email, or health information. In technical terms, cookieChoice is a first-party value that holds a short word such as accepted or rejected, so that the banner does not return on each page. Selecting Reject optional prevents the optional categories described below from being set. If you choose Accept and later change your mind, remove cookieChoice through your browser settings and the banner will ask again. The value is not sent to advertisers, and it is not used to infer anything about your health, age, or location. Consent for optional values is given by an active choice and is not assumed from scrolling or from continued reading. You can withdraw consent at any time, and withdrawing it is as easy as giving it: remove the value and choose again. Withdrawal does not affect processing that took place before the change. If the banner does not appear for you, check that your browser is not blocking all site storage, and contact the desk if the problem continues.

4. Analytics

If optional analytics are enabled, they help the editorial team see aggregated page views, referral categories, and technical performance. Analytics cookies may last up to 13 months. Nymera does not use them to create health profiles or sell behavioral advertising. Typical measurements include which pages are opened, how readers arrive (for example from a search page or a direct link), approximate region at country or city level, the type of device, and loading speed. IP addresses, where processed, are truncated or anonymised by the provider according to its configuration. The editorial team uses the results to find broken links, slow pages, and topics that need clearer explanation. The lifespan of up to 13 months is a ceiling, and a shorter period may apply. If you reject optional cookies, these measurements are not collected through cookies. Analytics identifiers, where used, are typically first-party values with generic names that depend on the provider, and they hold a random code rather than a name or an email address. One identifier distinguishes returning browsers and may last up to 13 months, while a second, shorter value groups page views into a visit and usually expires within 24 hours. Reports are viewed in aggregate by the editorial team and are not exported with personal details. Where an analytics provider is based outside Indonesia, the transfer of data is addressed in privacy.php, and the provider is bound by contractual limits on its use of the data. Because the basis for optional analytics is your consent, nothing is set until you accept.

5. Preferences

Preference storage may remember accessibility or display choices when such features are introduced. A preference is not a promise that every device will render the same way. Preference values are normally retained for up to 12 months. Examples might include a reading size, a high-contrast setting, or a reduced-motion setting, if and when those features are available. Such a value would be stored only on your device and would not be matched to your name. As of 5 October 2026 the site provides only the limited controls described on accessibility.php, so few preference values are actually in use. If a preference feature is added, this page will be updated before it is released and the new value will be listed with its purpose and lifespan. A preference value, if introduced, would typically be a first-party value of a few characters, such as a word for a theme or a number for a text size. It would not contain your name, and it would be deleted by clearing site data. The basis for storing such a value is your request for the setting, and a value that is strictly needed to deliver a feature you asked for does not require a separate banner choice. It would still be listed here, with its name, purpose, and lifespan of up to 12 months. Readers who use browser or operating system settings for contrast or motion do not need any value from us.

6. Third parties

Hosting, security, analytics, and embedded services may set their own values when used. Their names and retention periods can change as providers change. Nymera reviews such services and avoids embeds that are unnecessary for an article’s meaning. Typical third parties include a hosting and delivery network, a security or spam-filtering service, and, only if enabled, an analytics service. Embedded services, such as a video player or a map, can set their own values when they load, so we avoid them unless they are important to understanding an article. If one is introduced, it will be loaded only after you have accepted optional cookies where the law requires this, and the provider will be named on this page. The provider's own notice explains its practices, and you can ask us for a link to it. Provider lists are checked at least once a year. Each third party acts under an agreement that limits its use of data to providing the service, and we ask providers to describe any transfer outside Indonesia. We do not permit a provider to combine data from this site with data from other services for its own advertising purposes. When a provider is replaced, the old value is allowed to expire and the new one is described on this page before it is used. If you want the current list of named providers at a given moment, contact the desk and we will send it in writing.

7. Browser controls

Most browsers allow you to block, delete, or inspect cookies. Blocking essential values may affect navigation or form submission. You can also clear site data after changing your mind about optional cookies. Typical steps are to open the browser's privacy or site settings, view the stored values for the Nymera address, and delete the ones you do not want. Most mobile and desktop browsers also offer a private window, which discards cookies when it is closed. If you block everything, some features such as the contact form's confirmation message may not work as expected, but you will still be able to read the pages. Browser extensions that block trackers are compatible with the site, and we do not penalise readers who use them. In most desktop browsers the stored values are listed under the privacy or security section of the settings, often with a search box for a site address. Deleting values for one address does not affect other sites. Clearing everything will also remove your banner choice, so the banner will return the next time you visit. On a shared device, we suggest using a private window or clearing site data after you finish.

8. Do-not-track

Browser signals are interpreted where the technology and provider support them, but there is no single universal standard. The most reliable choices are the banner controls and browser privacy settings. Nymera does not knowingly identify readers through a do-not-track signal. Some browsers send a Do Not Track or Global Privacy Control signal. Where such a signal is detected and supported by a provider, it is treated as a preference not to enable optional measurement for that browser. Because support differs between browsers and providers, we recommend that you also use the banner and your browser settings. Nymera does not require you to enable or disable any signal in order to read the site. We will update this section if a standard that is recognised in Indonesia becomes widely adopted. Where we detect a Global Privacy Control signal and an optional provider is enabled, we configure the provider to respect it for that browser. We do not store the signal itself in a value, and we do not build a profile from it. If you use both a signal and the banner, the more restrictive choice is applied. Indonesian law does not currently require a particular signal, so this section describes our practice and not a legal standard.

9. Retention and review

Cookie settings are reviewed at least annually and after a material provider change. This page was reviewed on 5 October 2026. A value that is no longer needed should be removed through normal rotation or an update to the relevant service. A review checks (a) whether each value is still used, (b) whether its lifespan is as short as practical, (c) whether the provider's description has changed, and (d) whether this page matches reality. Revision log: 5 October 2026 - expanded descriptions of essential values, analytics, preferences, third parties, and browser controls; 12 January 2026 - first publication. The next scheduled review is October 2027, or earlier if a provider or feature changes. Retention periods in summary: essential values from the current session up to 30 days; the banner choice until removed or changed; analytics identifiers up to 13 months; preference values up to 12 months. A value found to outlast these periods is treated as an error, corrected at the next release, and noted in the revision log. A further entry dated 5 October 2026 records the addition of this retention summary. Readers can request a plain copy of the summary by writing to the address in section 10.

10. Questions

For questions about cookies, contact Nymera at +62 878 9652 1437 or use contact.php. We aim to explain the purpose and lifetime of a value without asking you to disclose unnecessary personal information. Questions about privacy rights are also covered in privacy.php. We aim to acknowledge a question within seven days and answer within 30 days, usually much sooner. You may write to Jl. Gatot Subroto Kav. 36, Jakarta Selatan, DKI Jakarta 12950, Indonesia, or call during ordinary office hours in Western Indonesian Time (WIB). When you ask about a specific value, mention the browser you use and the page where you saw the banner so we can reproduce the situation. If your question leads to a change in our practice, we will say so in the revision log above. Complaints about how cookies are used can be made to the same contact points, and we will reply in writing with what we found and any change we made. If you remain dissatisfied, you may raise the matter with the Indonesian ministry responsible for communications and digital affairs, which oversees personal data protection matters. Please do not send passwords, identity numbers, or medical records when you write to us; the desk will not ask for them. Requests received from outside Indonesia are handled in the same way.
