Cookies & Local Storage
At AshleyNotes, we believe in being clear and open about how we collect and use data. This policy provides detailed information about how and when we use cookies to make your experience better.
What are Cookies?
Think of a cookie as a small digital memory. It’s a tiny text file placed on your device that helps AshleyNotes remember who you are. This is why you don't have to re-type your password every single time you click a new page or open your feed.
How we use them
We use cookies for three specific, practical reasons:
- Staying Logged In: We use cookies to keep your session active as you move between your feed, your groups, and your profile.
- Protecting You: Cookies help us recognize your device. This allows us to spot if someone else is trying to access your account and helps us keep "bots" away from our human community.
- Speed and Performance: Some cookies help AshleyNotes load faster by remembering your basic settings. We want your experience to be as smooth and "premium" as possible.
Types of Cookies we use
Temporary Cookies: These live only as long as your browser is open. They help us manage your current visit and disappear the moment you leave.
Long-term Cookies: These stay on your device for a little longer so we can recognize you when you come back. This is what keeps the "Welcome back" feeling when you return to AshleyNotes.
You’re in Control
Since this is your device, you have the final say. You can use your browser settings to limit or delete cookies at any time. Just keep in mind that AshleyNotes relies on these small files to keep you logged in—if you turn them off entirely, you may find yourself having to sign in more often than you'd like.
