Short version: we use no advertising, analytics or tracking cookies, none at all. 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, so 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.
