Cookie & Storage Policy
Last updated: September 2026
1. Our Privacy-First Commitment
At CODELOSET (https://codeloset.com), we do not use invasive third-party tracking cookies, behavioral ad-targeting pixels, or data brokers. We believe in building clean software that respects your browser and your privacy.
2. Storage Mechanisms We Use
We only utilize minimal, strictly functional client-side storage mechanisms (primarily browser localStorage) to deliver essential interface features:
| Key / Technology | Type | Purpose & Retention |
|---|---|---|
| theme | LocalStorage | Remembers your preference for Dark Mode or Light Mode across visits. Persistent until cleared. |
| codeloset_consent | LocalStorage | Records that you have acknowledged our privacy and cookie policy banner so it is not shown repeatedly. |
| codeloset_admissions | LocalStorage | Temporarily caches your submitted course application offline so you do not accidentally submit duplicate admissions. |
3. Third-Party Embeds & Services
YouTube Educational Embeds: To showcase architectural breakdowns and case study companions, we embed videos using YouTube's official Privacy-Enhanced Mode (https://www.youtube-nocookie.com). According to Google, this domain does not set cookies until you click to play the video.
Google Fonts: Web fonts (Outfit and Poppins) are self-hosted or served without user-profiling cookies.
Google Sheets Webhook API: Contact and admission inquiries are transmitted over TLS-encrypted connections directly to our secure administrative spreadsheets without setting third-party client cookies.
4. Managing & Disabling Storage
You can clear or block cookies and local storage at any time through your browser settings (Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Edge). Note that clearing local storage will reset your theme preference back to the default setting.
