Cookie Information

Effective Date: 23-Apr-2024

Last Updated: 13-Nov-2025

What are Cookies and Local Storage?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device to keep the site running securely, remember your preferences, and improve performance. We also rely on local storage and session storage for certain personalization features (for example, remembering the name you provide or a sticky note you create). Those optional storage items stay on your device unless you explicitly share them with us.

How We Use Cookies and Local Storage

Because we operate in the United States, we focus on complying with CalOPPA, CPRA/CCPA, and other U.S. privacy rules. We use:

• Strictly necessary cookies (for security and fraud prevention, e.g., Cloudflare).
• Functional/local storage that powers personalization, such as saving your preferred name, color theme, sticky notes, or music volume. These items stay locally and are optional.
• Performance and analytics (Vercel Analytics) to understand how people use our site. We do not sell your information or build marketing profiles, and analytics data is limited to aggregated usage.

Types of Cookies and Local Storage Used

Optional personalization data

Providing personalization data (name, theme preference, sticky notes, or music volume) is optional. These values remain on your device unless you explicitly choose to export or sync them. We do not use them for advertising or share them with third parties.

U.S. privacy rights (CPRA/CCPA and similar state laws)

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to know what personal information we collect, request deletion of certain information, opt out of sharing, and receive equal service even if you exercise these rights. Because we do not sell personal information and only use limited analytics, most of these rights are satisfied by the disclosures above. To make a request, contact us using the email or mailing address below.

• Right to know/access: Request a copy of the personal information we maintain about you.
• Right to delete: Ask us to delete information we have collected from you, subject to legal exceptions.
• Right to correct: Request corrections to inaccurate information.
• Right to opt out of sharing: We do not sell or share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising. If that changes, we will update this policy and offer a clear opt-out link.
