Cookie Policy
Last updated: 16 October 2026
This policy explains the cookies and similar browser storage ("cookies") used by this Site, and how to control them. It complements the Privacy Policy.
What we use
Strictly necessary / functional — these make the Site work and do not require consent:
| Name | Type | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
mayr-os-prefs | Local storage | Remembers your theme, wallpaper and desktop icon positions | Until cleared |
mayr-consent | Local storage | Remembers your cookie choice | Until cleared |
mayr_device | Cookie (httpOnly, first-party) | Anonymous signed identifier used to count your AI-assistant messages and prevent abuse. Set only when you open the assistant | Up to 1 year |
Notes, game scores, typing-test and weather preferences (os-…) | Local storage | Saves your own notes, best scores and last-used settings on your device only | Until cleared |
| Service-worker cache | Cache storage | Lets the Site open faster and show an offline page | Until cleared / updated |
| Captcha token | In memory | Verifies you are human when sending a message | A few minutes |
Administrator-only: Clerk sets session cookies (for example __session, __client_uat) when the site owner signs in to the admin console. Visitors never receive them.
Analytics (optional, only with your consent): if enabled, Google Analytics sets cookies such as _ga and _ga_* to distinguish visitors and sessions (up to 2 years). IP anonymisation is on. These load only after you click "Accept".
Third-party embeds: the Calendar app (Calendly, if configured), Cloudflare Turnstile (if configured), Paystack's payment page and images from Gravatar or Cloudinary are served by those providers, who may set their own cookies under their own policies. The Weather app calls Open-Meteo directly from your browser and sets no cookies.
We do not use advertising or cross-site tracking cookies.
Managing your choices
- Analytics consent: use the banner when it appears; to change your mind later open Settings → Privacy in the Site and choose Reset cookie choice, or clear this site's storage in your browser.
- Browser controls: every major browser lets you block or delete cookies and local storage (see your browser's help). Blocking strictly necessary storage may stop preferences, the AI assistant quota or games from working.
- Do Not Track / Global Privacy Control: if your browser sends these signals, analytics stay off.
