Cookie policy

Your choice

On your first visit we ask before turning on anything that isn't strictly necessary. “Accept all” and “Reject all” are equally easy, and you can change your mind any time with “Cookie settings” at the bottom of every page. If your browser sends Global Privacy Control, optional cookies stay off. This policy is part of our Privacy policy. Last updated: 25 October 2026.

Strictly necessary (always on)

• Session (better-auth.session_token) keeps you signed in. With “Remember me” (and always with Google sign-in) it lasts 14 days from your last visit; otherwise it ends when you close the browser. A companion cookie (better-auth.dont_remember) marks the browser-session choice.
• Google sign-in: short-lived cookies (better-auth.state and similar, a few minutes) protect the sign-in round trip with Google.
• Language (locale, 1 year) is set when you open a page in another language, so links keep you in it. It holds only a language code such as “hi”.
• Cookie choices (dsc_consent, about 6 months) remembers what you picked in the cookie banner. We also keep a record of each choice (what you chose, when, and the policy version) to show we asked.

Functional (remember your preferences)

• Last sign-in method (better-auth.last_used_login_method, 30 days) marks whether you last used email or Google, to highlight it on the sign-in page.
• View counting (viewed:<app> in session storage, until you close the tab) makes sure one visit counts once in an app's anonymous view count.
• Theme and review drafts are kept in your browser's local storage only, never sent to us until you post.
• Remembered email: if you tick “Remember me”, your email is kept in this browser's local storage to fill in the sign-in form. Untick it or choose “Not you?” to remove it. We never store your password in the browser.

Analytics (only if you allow it)

• Google Analytics (_ga and _ga_*, up to 2 years) tells us how many people visit and which pages and buttons they use. Google provides it as our processor. Advertising features, ad personalisation and Google signals are off; we never send your name, email or review text, and links are stripped of personal details first. Turning analytics off deletes these cookies.

What we don't use

No advertising, retargeting or social-media tracking cookies, and no selling of data. Sponsored spots on TrueLaunch are counted anonymously, without cookies.
