Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains what Civlso stores in your browser, why, and what your options are. It's part of our Privacy Policy, not a replacement for it.

What we mean by "cookies"

Civlso mostly uses your browser's local storage rather than traditional cookies, but the same principle applies: small pieces of data saved on your device so the Service can remember who you are and how you left things.

Essential storage

Required for the Service to function. Blocking these will break sign-in and core features.

• Your signed-in session, managed by our authentication provider, so you don't have to log in on every page load.
• Security tokens used to verify requests are actually coming from you.

Preference storage

Remembers choices you've made so you don't have to re-set them every visit.

• Your theme choice (Dark, Light, or Deep Space).
• In-progress practice sessions, draft answers, and similar study state, so you can pick up where you left off.

Analytics

We use Vercel Web Analytics to understand overall traffic and usage patterns. It's designed to be cookieless — it doesn't set persistent tracking identifiers, doesn't build a profile of you individually, and doesn't track you across other websites. It's used only to see aggregate numbers like how many people visited a page.

What we don't use

Civlso does not use third-party advertising cookies, cross-site tracking pixels, or ad-retargeting scripts. We don't sell or share browsing data with advertisers.

Managing storage in your browser

Most browsers let you view, block, or delete local storage and cookies through their settings. Because essential storage is required for sign-in, blocking it will prevent you from using most of the Service. Clearing your browser's storage will sign you out and reset local preferences and unsaved in-progress work.

Changes

We may update this policy as the tools we use change. We'll revise the date above when we do.
