Cookie Policy
Last updated: March 2025
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently, remember your preferences, and provide information to site owners.
In addition to cookies, we may use similar technologies such as local storage and session storage — small data stores in your browser — to support platform functionality. This policy covers all such technologies.
2. How We Use Cookies
WyldTrace uses cookies and browser storage for the following purposes:
Strictly Necessary
These are essential for the platform to function. Without them, you cannot log in or use core features.
- Authentication token — stored in localStorage to keep you logged in across page refreshes. Contains your JWT session token, user ID, name, email, and role.
- Session state — used to maintain your current dashboard section and navigation state.
These cannot be disabled without breaking the platform.
Functional
These enhance your experience by remembering your preferences.
- UI preferences — remembering your last active section or display settings within the dashboard.
Analytics
We may use analytics tools to understand how visitors use our website. This helps us improve performance, content, and user experience. Analytics data is aggregated and anonymised — it does not identify you personally.
- Pages visited and time spent on each page
- Browser type, device type, and general location (country/region)
- How users navigate through the site
3. Third-Party Cookies
Some features of our website may load content from third-party services, which may set their own cookies. These include:
- Spline (3D visuals): Our homepage uses Spline for interactive 3D content. Spline may set cookies or use local storage for rendering purposes.
- LinkedIn / Instagram: Social media links in our footer may result in those platforms setting cookies if you are logged into them.
We do not control third-party cookies. Please refer to those services' own privacy and cookie policies for details.
4. How Long Do Cookies Last?
| Cookie / Storage Key | Type | Duration | Purpose |
|---|---|---|---|
| wyldtrace_token | localStorage | Until logout | Authentication session |
| wyldtrace_user | localStorage | Until logout | User profile cache |
| Analytics cookies | Cookie | Up to 2 years | Usage analytics |
5. Managing Cookies
You can control and manage cookies in several ways:
Browser Settings
Most browsers allow you to view, block, or delete cookies through their settings. Note that blocking strictly necessary cookies will prevent you from logging into the platform.
- Chrome: Settings → Privacy and Security → Cookies and other site data
- Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data
- Firefox: Options → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
- Edge: Settings → Privacy, search, and services → Cookies
Clearing localStorage
To clear your WyldTrace session data from localStorage, log out of the platform or clear your browser's site data via DevTools (Application → Local Storage).
6. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology or regulation. When we do, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
