Cookie Policy
Effective Date: February 2026. How FroznLabs uses browser storage, session cookies, and essential tokens to deliver a fast, tracking-free reader experience.
1. Our Cookie Philosophy
FroznLabs operates on an engineering-first privacy model. We do not use advertising cookies, cross-site tracking cookies, or commercial behavioral profiling. We use only strictly necessary session identifiers and client-side storage required to maintain functionality.
2. What Technologies We Use
| Category | Identifier / Storage Key | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| Strictly Necessary | __session / __clerk_db_jwt | Maintains authenticated session state via Clerk edge authentication. | Session / 30 Days |
| Preferences | localStorage('froznlabs:saved') | Stores locally bookmarked publication slugs for offline reading. | Persistent until cleared |
| Preferences | localStorage('froznlabs:following') | Stores followed author handles to curate personal feed. | Persistent until cleared |
| Preferences | localStorage('froznlabs:user_topics') | Stores subscribed research topics for targeted push dispatches. | Persistent until cleared |
3. Managing & Clearing Browser Storage
Because all non-authentication preferences are stored in your device's standard browser localStorage, you maintain complete sovereignty over your data. You may purge all local state at any time directly from the User Dashboard under Privacy & Data Rights, or via your browser developer settings.
