Working product draft

Cookie information

Effective date: To be confirmed on release · Version: Draft 0.1

Firefly Realm aims to use only essential browser storage. This page lists what is set, why, and whether any non-essential tracking is in use.

This document is a working product draft. It has not yet received professional UK legal or privacy review. Items shown in square brackets, for example [DATA CONTROLLER NAME REQUIRED], are placeholders the operator must complete before commercial release.

Essential storage

  • Supabase authentication token — stored in localStorage under a key beginning sb-. Purpose: keeps you signed in between visits and lets the app talk to the backend as you. Duration: until you sign out, clear browser storage, or the session naturally expires.
  • Reduced-motion preference — stored as ql:reduceMotion in localStorage. Purpose: remembers your accessibility choice. Duration: until you clear it.
  • AI consent record — stored as firefly-ai-consent-1.0.0 in localStorage. Purpose: records that you saw and accepted the AI processing disclosure.
  • Sound preference — small localStorage entry remembering whether ambient sound is on or off (off by default).
  • Release-to-Reflection draft — when you choose Turn into a Reflection draft on a Release page, the text is held only in sessionStorage under firefly-release-draft as a small envelope scoped to your account. It is consumed the next time the Reflection form opens, is removed immediately after read, and expires after around 15 minutes. It never appears in the URL and is never sent to any third party.

Non-essential cookies and tracking

At the time of writing, Firefly Realm does not use advertising cookies, behavioural trackers, third-party analytics, retargeting pixels or social-media tracking pixels. For that reason no cookie consent banner is shown — there is nothing non-essential to consent to.

If this ever changes

If non-essential tracking is introduced in future, a clear consent mechanism will be added beforehand. Refusing will be as easy as accepting, your choice will be remembered, and you will always be able to change it later.

Server-side logs

The hosting provider may keep brief technical request logs (IP address, timestamp, user agent) for security and abuse-prevention purposes. These logs are not used for advertising.

Clearing storage

You can clear Firefly Realm's stored data at any time by signing out and clearing site data from your browser settings.
