Cookies & Local Storage Policy

Effective date: November 4, 2026

We use browser storage only as described below. A "cookie" is not the only technology covered by European rules: localStorage and similar technologies can also require consent depending on their purpose.

Technologies planned for the free beta

Authentication/security

Examples: Session cookie, anti-CSRF and security tokens
Proposed treatment: Necessary for an explicitly requested sign-in/security function; no marketing use

Functional preferences

Examples: Language, basic UI or accessibility preferences
Proposed treatment: Evaluate necessity; keep use minimal and explain it

Temporary editing state

Examples: Local unsaved draft state
Proposed treatment: Use only to deliver the editor requested by the user; document lifetime

Persistent visitor memory

Examples: Seen notifications, opened apps, completed narrative steps across visits
Proposed treatment: Optional; obtain consent where required; add reset/disable controls

Audience measurement (Minilytics, run by the publisher)

Examples: ml_vid (random visitor identifier, 1 year), ml_sid (current visit, 30 minutes)
Proposed treatment: Anonymous statistics for the publisher only, never shared or used to follow you elsewhere; exempt from consent (CNIL); you can refuse it

Embedded third-party media

Examples: Music/video players, social embeds
Proposed treatment: May set third-party trackers; load only after appropriate user action/consent where necessary

Your choices

Essential storage: cannot be switched off in the service without affecting security or requested operation.
Optional memory: visitors can choose "Remember my visits" / "Not now"; they can later turn it off and clear the stored exploration history.
Audience measurement and embeds: the anonymous audience measurement can be refused at any time in Settings → Legal & Privacy, or by opening https://unlokmi.me/?ml_ignore=true (https://unlokmi.me/?ml_ignore=false counts you again). Third-party embeds, if introduced and legally required, will ask a genuine accept/reject choice first, which can be changed later.

If only strictly necessary storage is used, a cookie-consent banner may not be needed, but users must still receive clear information. Merely accepting Terms is not valid consent to optional tracking.

Retention

Session storage expires with the session or applicable cookie expiry. Persistent memory remains until cleared or until the period set by the implemented feature; today, no exploration memory is kept between visits: a visit is forgotten when the page is closed. The sign-in cookie lasts 30 days at most, the language cookie 1 year, the audience measurement cookies 1 year (ml_vid) and 30 minutes (ml_sid). The technical cookie table (name, provider, purpose, expiry) must be filled from browser DevTools after implementation and before publication.
