Short version: we use no advertising, analytics or tracking cookies — none. The portal sets only what is strictly necessary for signing you in, which is why you don't see a cookie consent banner here (EU law exempts strictly-necessary cookies from consent).
| Cookie | Purpose | Lifetime |
|---|---|---|
connect.sid |
Your sign-in session, and the security token that protects forms against cross-site forgery. Essential. | Until you close the browser — or 30 days of inactivity if you ticked "Stay signed in". Signing out or changing your password ends it. |
The portal keeps a little data in your browser's localStorage, which stays on your device and is never sent to us:
| Key | Purpose | Lifetime |
|---|---|---|
plx-draft:* | Auto-saves your feedback-form answers so a crash or refresh doesn't lose your work. | Cleared on submit; abandoned drafts expire after 30 days. |
plx-game:* | Remembers which achievements you'd already seen, so the dashboard only celebrates new ones. | Until you clear browser data. |
No third party sets cookies through this portal, and our pages load their typefaces from our own server — no font request leaves for any third party.
You can delete or block cookies in your browser settings at any time — but without the session cookie you cannot stay signed in, so the portal won't work. There is nothing else to opt out of, because nothing else is set.
