Cookie & Storage Policy

1. Cookies & Local Storage Explained

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work and provide technical information to site owners.

Local Storage (and Session Storage) is a modern web technology that allows our web application to store data locally within your browser. Unlike cookies, this data isn't automatically sent to our servers with every request, making it more secure and performant for certain features.

2. Our Privacy-First Approach

At Landager, we value your privacy. We intentionally use a minimalist, privacy-first approach to local tracking. We only use technologies that are strictly necessary for the operation of our platform. We do not use third-party advertising or marketing trackers.

3. Essential Cookies We Use

The following cookies are strictly necessary for the Landager dashboard to function securely:

  • Authentication Tokens: Set by our authentication provider (Auth.js) to keep you securely logged in as you navigate the dashboard. Without these, our application cannot verify your identity.
  • Security Tokens (CSRF): Used specifically to protect against Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) attacks, ensuring that actions taken on your account are legitimate.

4. Local Storage Usage (Functional)

We use your browser's Local Storage to improve your user experience and save recurring bandwidth:

  • Internationalization (i18n): We save your preferred language and locale settings so the interface loads in the correct language immediately on your next visit.
  • Theme Preferences: Storing whether you prefer "Dark Mode" or "Light Mode".

5. Cookieless Analytics

Most SaaS platforms rely on invasive third-party analytics (like Google Analytics) that track users across the web. Landager rejects this approach.

We run our own, self-hosted analytics on the public website. It does not set cookies or use local storage, and it does not follow you across other sites. For each page view it records the page, the referring page, browser and device type, screen size, and your browser's language and time zone, under a random identifier that is created fresh on every visit. The dashboard itself does not run analytics.

6. Managing Your Preferences

Because the cookies and storage mechanisms we use are categorized as "strictly necessary" for the Platform to function legitimately (logging in, security, core UI states), they cannot be opted out of within our systems.

You can, however, instruct your browser to refuse all cookies or routinely clear your Local Storage. Please note: if you do this, you will be repeatedly logged out and may not be able to use the authenticated portions of our Service (the Landager dashboard).
