Cookie Policy
Last updated: March 11, 2026
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device by a website. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently, remember your preferences, and provide information to website operators.
2. How News Aggregator Uses Storage
News Aggregator is a modern web application that primarily uses your browser's localStorage rather than traditional cookies for session management. Here is what we store and why:
| Storage key | Type | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| auth_token | localStorage | Stores your JWT authentication token to keep you logged in across page loads. | Until logout or expiry |
| theme | localStorage | Remembers your light/dark mode preference. | Persistent |
We do not use tracking cookies, advertising cookies, or third-party analytics cookies. No data stored in localStorage is shared with advertising networks.
3. Third-Party Services
If you choose to sign in using a social provider (Google, Facebook, or X), those providers may set their own cookies during the OAuth authentication flow. These cookies are governed by each provider's own cookie and privacy policies:
These interactions occur on the provider's own domains and are outside our control.
4. Managing Your Storage
You can clear localStorage data at any time through your browser's developer tools or settings. Note that clearing auth-related storage will log you out of the platform.
Most browsers also allow you to block or delete cookies. Refer to your browser's help documentation for instructions. Blocking certain storage may affect the functionality of the Service.
5. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy as the Service evolves. We will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page when changes are made.
