DRAFT. This is a draft of the cookie and browser-storage statement. It is not yet final. Details in [SQUARE BRACKETS] are still to be filled in by the owner, and a qualified adviser must approve this text before it goes live.

Cookies and similar technologies

We use only what is needed to run the service. We do not use advertising, analytics, social-media or tracking cookies, and we do not load any third-party scripts, fonts or images on our pages (our fonts are served from our own server).

Name	Type	What it holds and does	Lasts	Needed to run the service?
`__Host-da_sid` (shown as `da_sid` on a non-secure test site)	Cookie, HttpOnly, Secure, SameSite=Lax	Keeps you signed in after you log in. A random value only; no name or email	Up to 30 days, or until you sign out or delete the account	Yes (strictly necessary)
`da-child`	Browser local storage	Which child profile was last chosen on this device, so the game opens on it. A number, not a name	Until you sign out, delete your account or clear your browser data	Yes
`da-q-` followed by a child number	Browser local storage	Save queue. Each practice result (the answers, right or wrong, time taken) and any settings change is written here first and sent to our server, then removed once the server confirms. This is what stops progress being lost if the connection drops	Normally seconds. If you are offline it stays until the device next connects, or until you clear your browser data. It is removed when you delete the account	Yes
`da-quiz-` followed by a child number	Browser session storage	An unfinished round: the order of questions, how far you got and the answers so far, so that a page refresh does not lose it	Until you finish the round, sign out or close the tab	Yes
`da_plan_days_v1` and `da_plan_done_v1`	Browser local storage	The study plan you chose to save into the app from the school planner (dates, topics and the child name typed into the planner), and which days you have ticked as done	Until you replace it, sign out, delete your account or clear your browser data	No, only if you save a plan. It is a feature you ask for
`da_planner_v1`	Browser local storage	Used by the school planner page only: the child’s name, date of birth, chosen schools and study days. It stays in your browser. It is never sent to our servers and is not tied to your account	Until you clear your browser data. Signing out does not remove it, so clear it yourself on a shared device	No, only if you use the planner. It is a feature you ask for

Paying. Paid plans are not open yet and there is no payment page, so no payment provider sets anything on your device. [If paid plans open: Paddle’s checkout will set its own cookies under Paddle’s notice [LINK]; we will update this page first.]

Your choices. Signing out removes the sign-in cookie, da-child, the saved study plan and any unfinished round. It does not remove a save queue that has not yet reached our server (so no practice is lost), or the school planner entry. Deleting your account removes the sign-in cookie and all of these except the school planner entry. You can delete any item in your browser settings (clear site data); you will then need to sign in again. Blocking the sign-in cookie means you cannot use the account. Because these items are needed to provide the service you asked for, there is no cookie banner. [ADVISER TO CONFIRM: no consent banner needed for these items.] On a shared computer, clear the site data when you finish.
