Cookie policy

This is a working draft, prepared to reflect how Kodowo’s systems are actually built as of this writing. It has not been reviewed by legal counsel and is not yet a final, enforceable policy.

1. What a cookie is

A cookie is a small piece of data a website asks your browser to store, then sends back to that website on later requests. Sites use cookies for things like staying signed in, remembering a preference, or (on many sites, though not this one by default) tracking behaviour for analytics and advertising.

2. The cookies we set

We keep this deliberately short, because we keep the list short.

• session: essential. Set when you sign in to the dashboard. It is httpOnly (never readable by page JavaScript), transmitted only over HTTPS in production, and scoped SameSite=Lax. It exists purely to keep you authenticated between requests; without it the dashboard cannot know you are signed in. It is cleared when you sign out or when it expires.
• Cookie-consent preference: essential. Set when you dismiss the cookie notice on this site, so we don’t show it to you again on every page load. It stores only your acknowledgement, nothing about you personally, and is not sent to any third party.

3. What we don’t use

We do not set analytics, advertising, or third-party tracking cookies. If that ever changes, this page will be updated first to name the specific cookie, its purpose, and its provider, and any non-essential cookie will require your opt-in before it is set; it will not be on by default.

4. Controlling cookies in your browser

Because the only cookies we set are essential to signing in, you generally shouldn’t need to block them to use the public site. If you do block or clear the session cookie, you will simply be signed out of the dashboard. Every major browser lets you view, block, or delete cookies from its settings:

• Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data.
• Safari: Settings → Privacy → Manage Website Data.
• Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data.
• Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions.

5. Related policies

See our privacy policy for how we handle personal data more broadly, and our terms of service for the terms of using the platform.

6. Changes to this policy

This is a pre-launch draft. It will be reviewed by legal counsel, revised, and re-published with a real effective date before general availability.
