Cookie Policy
Last updated: June 12, 2026
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device by websites you visit. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently and provide information to site owners. “Similar technologies” include localStorage and sessionStorage, which are browser features that store data on your device.
2. Cookies We Use
Typence uses a single functional cookie. We do not use advertising, analytics, or third-party tracking cookies.
| Cookie | Type | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| sidebar:state | Functional | Remembers whether the sidebar is open or closed for a consistent UI experience | 30 days |
3. Similar Technologies (localStorage)
Typence uses browser localStorage for the following purposes. This data is stored only on your device and is not accessible by our servers unless you authenticate and actively sync.
| Key | Purpose | Type |
|---|---|---|
| typence-stats | Game statistics (XP, rank, streaks, achievements) | Essential |
| typence-token | JWT authentication token for API requests | Essential |
| typence-user | User profile cache (id, email, username) | Essential |

| typence-lessons | Lesson progress tracking | Essential |
| typence-custom | User-created vocabulary/sentences | Essential |
4. How to Control Cookies & localStorage
Since Typence uses only functional cookies and essential localStorage data, no explicit consent is required under the EU ePrivacy Directive. However, you can:
- Clear cookies through your browser settings. This resets your sidebar preference.
- Clear localStorage via browser developer tools or browser settings. This removes all locally stored game data, scores, and preferences.
- Delete your account from the profile page, which clears all associated server-side and client-side data.
5. Third-Party Cookies
Typence does not embed any third-party content that sets cookies. We do not use Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, advertising networks, or any other tracking services.
6. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy to reflect changes in our usage of cookies and similar technologies. The latest version will always be available on this page.
