Cookie Policy
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device by your web browser. They help websites remember information about your visit, such as your preferences and login status.
Websites can also use similar technologies like localStorage and sessionStorage, which store data in your browser but are not transmitted with every request like cookies.
Types of Cookies
| Type | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| Essential | Required for the website to function (e.g., security, form submissions) | Session / Persistent |
| Functional | Remember your preferences (e.g., language, theme) | Persistent |
| Analytics | Help us understand how visitors use the website | Persistent |
| Marketing | Used to deliver relevant ads (we do NOT use these) | N/A |
2. What We Currently Use
✅ TrExOra currently sets ZERO cookies. We use browser localStorage for essential functionality only.
LocalStorage (Browser Storage)
We use localStorage to store small amounts of non-personal data that never leaves your device:

Essential | Rate limiting — tracks timestamps of waitlist submissions to prevent spam (max 3/hour) | ❌ No | 1 hour (auto-expires) |
trexora_wl_count |
Functional | Local counter for waitlist position display | ❌ No | Until cleared |
trexora_splash_seen |
Functional | Remembers if you've seen the splash screen (so it only shows once) | ❌ No | Until cleared |
