Cookie Policy
Effective November 9, 2026 · Frontier Recap is operated by Havard Solutions, LLC
This page lists every cookie and browser storage item Frontier Recap uses, and the ones Google may use if you accept ads. Cookies are small files a website stores in your browser; local storage is a similar store that stays on your device and is not sent with requests. The Privacy Policy explains how the information is used.
Your ad choice
Advertising cookies are the only optional ones here. They are set only after you click Accept in the ad and cookie panel. Until then no ad code loads and nothing is requested from Google. Reject is always available beside Accept, and the site works the same either way. If your browser sends a Global Privacy Control signal, we treat it as a refusal and ads stay off.
You can change your choice at any time with Cookie settings at the foot of every page. If you withdraw consent, ads stop from the next page you open, and the site removes the advertising cookies Google set on frontierrecap.com.
Strictly necessary
These make the site and forum work. They are not used for advertising, and cannot be switched off here without breaking the feature they support.
| Name | Type and where | Purpose | Lasts |
|---|---|---|---|
fr-consent | Local storage, every page | Remembers whether you accepted or rejected ads, with the date and the version of the question. | 12 months, then you are asked again |
frontier_forum | First-party cookie, sent only to the forum service (/api/forum). Secure, HttpOnly, SameSite=Lax | Session identifier. Keeps you signed in and protects forum forms against forged requests. It is set when the forum page loads, even if you do not sign in. | 7 days |
Preferences
These are stored only when you use the feature, stay in your browser and are never sent to us.
| Name | Type and where | Purpose | Lasts |
|---|---|---|---|
fr-saved | Local storage, news page | The stories you saved with “Save”. | Until you clear it |
fr-theme | Local storage, news page and forum | Your light or dark mode choice. | Until you clear it |
To clear saved stories and the theme choice, open Browser data in the footer of the news page and choose Clear saved stories and preference, or clear this site’s data in your browser settings.
Advertising (only after you accept)
If you accept, the site loads Google AdSense. Google and its partners may then set and read cookies and use similar technologies, such as local storage, web beacons and your IP address, to show ads, which can be personalized, limit repeats, measure performance and prevent fraud. We do not control these cookies, and Google can change them. Examples Google documents:
| Name | Set by and where | Purpose | Lasts (per Google) |
|---|---|---|---|
__gads and related cookies such as __gpi | Google, on frontierrecap.com | Lets the site show Google ads and limits how often you see the same ad. | 13 months |
IDE | Google, on Google’s advertising domains | Shows Google ads on sites that are not Google’s. | 13 months in the EEA, UK and Switzerland; 24 months elsewhere |
DSID | Google, on Google’s advertising domains | Respects the ad personalization setting of people signed in to Google. | 2 weeks |
If you are in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom or Switzerland, Google may also show its own consent message after you accept here and store those choices in its own cookies. Google’s full list is at How Google uses cookies, and its use of data from sites like this one is explained at How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services. You can also manage personalization in Google’s Ads Settings or at www.aboutads.info.
What we do not use
No analytics, no social media widgets and no fonts from other sites. Story pages, policy pages and the news page make no requests to other companies unless you accept ads.
Browser controls
Most browsers let you block or delete cookies and site data. Blocking the frontier_forum cookie stops forum sign-in from working; the news pages work without any cookies.
