Cookie Policy

Cookies are small text files stored on your device by your web browser when you access websites. Web storage technologies, such as LocalStorage, allow web applications to store small key-value preferences locally on your browser.

This Cookie Policy explains how CineLog (https://cinelog.fyi) uses these technologies to deliver a secure, functional service.

CineLog does not use third-party tracking cookies, behavioral profiling cookies, or advertising networks.

We only use strictly necessary cookies required for user authentication, CSRF security, and session management. Because these cookies are essential to provide the services requested by you, they do not require consent under ePrivacy Directive and GDPR exemptions for strictly necessary functionalities.

auth_token: A cryptographically signed JSON Web Token (JWT) used to verify your authenticated identity on API requests. It is set with httpOnly, secure, and sameSite=lax flags, expiring in 15 minutes.

cinelog_refresh: A secure refresh token cookie used to renew your short-lived access token seamlessly in the background without interrupting your experience. It lasts 30 days from sign-in, or 90 days when 'Remember Me' is enabled.

cinelog-theme: We store your display theme preference (dark mode or light mode) in your browser's LocalStorage to avoid visual flashes when pages load.

Service Worker Caching: If you install CineLog as a Progressive Web App (PWA), our service worker caches core application shells and static icons locally so the interface remains responsive during network outages.

Most web browsers permit you to manage or delete cookies through browser settings. You can configure your browser to reject all cookies or notify you when a cookie is placed.

Please note that disabling strictly necessary authentication cookies will prevent you from signing in and accessing your personal library or settings on CineLog.

If you have questions regarding our use of cookies or web storage, please contact us at cinelog.official@gmail.com.
