Quin Forge legal

Cookie Policy

Last updated: August 6, 2026

This page lists every piece of browser storage Quin Forge sets, why it is there, and how to remove it. There are no third-party tracking cookies and no advertising cookies — now or planned.

What we use and why

Quin Forge uses localStorage rather than traditional cookies, because the site is a static export and there is no server-side session to attach a cookie to. The effect is the same — a small piece of data in your browser — but the storage mechanism is different.

Strictly necessary

These are required for the site to function. Disabling them breaks sign-in and your saved consent. They cannot be turned off in the banner.

  • quin_token — your session token (32 random bytes). Stored in localStorage on the website and in Windows Credential Manager on the desktop client. Without it you are not signed in.
  • quin_user — your email address, so the UI can greet you and pre-fill forms without a round-trip to the server. Derived from the session, not submitted separately.
  • quin_plan — your plan id (free or premium), so the UI knows whether to show the advertisement column and apply Premium limits.
  • quin_premium_until — the unix timestamp your Premium expires. Re-checked against the server on each authenticated request.
  • quin_cookie_consent — your cookie-banner choice. Stored so the banner does not reappear after you have decided.

Analytics

Currently none. The banner offers an Analytics toggle so that, if we add privacy-respecting analytics in the future, your existing choice is honoured without a re-prompt. Analytics, if ever added, will be first-party only (no Google Analytics, no Facebook Pixel), will not be sold or shared, and will be opt-out here at any time.

What we do not set

  • No advertising cookies. No Google AdSense, no Doubleclick.
  • No third-party tracking. No analytics SDKs.
  • No fingerprinting. We do not collect device or browser fingerprints.
  • No social-media embeds. There are no share buttons that load third-party scripts.

How to clear your data

  • One key: open DevTools → Application → Local Storage → delete the entry.
  • Everything: your browser's "Clear browsing data" → "Cookies and site data" removes all localStorage for this origin.
  • Sign out clears the session token but leaves your consent choice so the banner does not reappear.

Changes to this policy

If we add a new storage key we will list it here, bump the "Last updated" date, and re-prompt your consent if the new key falls outside the "strictly necessary" category.
