Cookie Policy
Last updated: March 2026 · Effective immediately
This Cookie Policy describes how MY OWL uses essential cookies and local storage to operate a safe, authentication-protected platform.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your computer or mobile device by websites that you visit. They are widely used to make web applications work reliably, securely, and efficiently.
2. Our Minimalist Approach: No Ad Trackers
MY OWL takes a strict developer-first stance on user privacy. We do not use third-party advertising cookies, retargeting pixels, or data broker scripts. We use only strictly necessary cookies and functional preferences essential to running our platform.
3. Categories of Cookies We Use
We categorize the cookies used on MY OWL into two groups: (a) Strictly Necessary Cookies, which are required for authentication, CSRF mitigation, and session integrity; and (b) Functional Storage, which remembers basic user interface preferences like sidebar toggle states.
4. Specific Cookies Deployed
• myowl_session: Encrypted session token used to verify authentication across requests (HttpOnly, Secure). • csrf_token: Cryptographic token preventing cross-site request forgery attacks. • repo_view_pref: Local storage item recording table sorting or filter preferences in your dashboard.
5. How to Control or Disable Cookies
You can manage cookie settings directly within your browser preferences (e.g., Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge). Please note that disabling strictly necessary cookies will prevent you from signing in and accessing your MY OWL dashboard.
6. Changes to this Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our legal obligations or platform features. Any updates will be posted on this page with a revised effective date.
