CrateCore — Cookie & Local Storage Policy
Effective date: July 17, 2026
Operator: the individual developer of the CrateCore service
Contact: [email protected]
1. What this policy covers
This policy describes cookies, localStorage, and similar technologies on https://cratecore.app (including the web feed, story pages, and the sign-in page).
The mobile app is governed by the Privacy Policy: https://cratecore.app/privacy/en/. Firebase Analytics/Crashlytics in the app are not browser cookies and are disclosed there.
2. The main point
The CrateCore website uses no cookies, no web analytics, no advertising pixels, and no third-party trackers. We do not track you across sites. Fonts and other page resources are served from our own domain.
That is why the site shows no cookie banner: there is nothing on the site that requires such consent. If we ever add web analytics, a consent banner with equal "Accept" and "Decline" buttons will appear before it is enabled, and this policy will be updated.
3. What the site stores in your browser (localStorage)
localStorage is the browser's local storage; unlike cookies, its contents are not automatically sent to the server with every request. The site uses it only for features you start yourself:
Key | What it stores | Why | Lifetime
cc_web_session | sign-in session (Supabase tokens, your e-mail) | signing in on the site with an e-mail code; syncing interests with the app | until sign-out or browser data clearing
cc_web_tags | selected genres/eras | the "My feed" link without signing in | until browser data clearing
cc_reads | count of read stories (a number) | showing the "Sign in" banner once after three reads | until browser data clearing
cc_nudge_off | "banner dismissed" flag | never showing the "Sign in" banner again | until browser data clearing
The internal admin panel (not intended for users) keeps its own sign-in session in localStorage (cc_admin_session).
4. Hosting technical data
The site runs on Cloudflare infrastructure. Like any hosting, Cloudflare processes the technical data needed to deliver pages and protect against attacks (IP address, request headers). We have not configured any additional cookies or analytics features of Cloudflare for this site.
Story images and covers may load directly from Wikimedia and Cover Art Archive / Internet Archive servers — those servers see your IP address when the image loads, as with any image on the internet.
5. How to manage local storage
You can:
- sign out on the sign-in page (removes cc_web_session);
- clear the site's data in your browser settings;
- block the site from storing data in your browser settings.
If local storage is blocked, sign-in and "My feed" will not work; reading stories will keep working.
6. Changes
We will update this policy if web analytics, advertising tools, A/B tests, personalization, or new storage mechanisms are added.
