Cookie Policy
Effective date: 2026-06-16 · Operated by: Florante Pascual
This Cookie Policy explains the cookies and browser storage that StrataProtocol.org uses. We keep this minimal: the Service sets one strictly-necessary cookie to keep you signed in and stores a single functional preference in your browser. We use no third-party advertising or tracking cookies.
1. What Is a Cookie?
A cookie is a small text file that a website stores in your browser. Some cookies are strictly necessary to operate core features, such as keeping you signed in. Others are functional and remember a preference you have set. Related technologies, such as your browser's local storage, work similarly.
2. The Session Cookie
When you sign in, the Service sets a single strictly-necessary session cookie:
- Purpose: to keep you signed in as you move between pages.
- Type: sealed and
HttpOnly, so its contents cannot be read by client-side scripts. - Lifetime: up to 7 days, after which it expires and you are signed out.
This cookie is essential to the member experience; without it, you could not stay authenticated.
3. Functional Storage
The Service stores your color-mode preference (light or dark theme) in your browser so the site honors your choice on your next visit. This is a functional preference held locally in your browser — it is not a tracking cookie and is not transmitted to us for any tracking purpose.
4. No Third-Party Tracking
We do not use advertising cookies, analytics cookies that profile you across sites, social-media tracking pixels, or any other third-party tracking technology. We do not sell or share browsing data for advertising.
5. Managing Cookies
You can manage or clear cookies and local storage through your browser settings. Note that clearing or blocking the session cookie will sign you out and prevent you from staying signed in, since that cookie is required for authentication.
6. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. When we make a material change, we will revise the effective date above and publish the updated policy on this page.
