Cookie and Storage Notice
1. Introduction
This notice explains how NotiCord ("we", "us", or "our") uses cookies, localStorage, sessionStorage, and similar technologies on our website and application. This notice should be read together with our Privacy Policy and Terms of Use.
2. What are cookies and browser storage?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website.
localStorage and sessionStorage are browser storage mechanisms that allow websites to store data locally on your device. Unlike cookies, this data is not automatically sent to the server with each request. localStorage persists until explicitly cleared, while sessionStorage is deleted when you close your browser tab.
NotiCord primarily uses localStorage and sessionStorage rather than traditional cookies for better performance and privacy.
3. How we use browser storage
We use cookies and similar technologies for the following purposes:
3.1. Strictly Necessary Technologies
These technologies are essential for the Application to function properly and cannot be disabled. They enable core functionality such as:
| Technology / Storage | Purpose | Lifetime | Provider |
|---|---|---|---|
| Auth0 localStorage | Secure authentication and session management (tokens, user info) | Session / 7 days | Auth0, Inc. |
| Application session storage | Application state, authentication status | Session | NotiCord |
| Sentry session storage | Error tracking and debugging (minimal PII, no emails/IPs) | Session | Functional Software, Inc. |
Legal basis: These technologies are necessary for the performance of our contract with you and for maintaining service security and reliability (GDPR Art. 6(1)(b) and Art. 6(1)(f) legitimate interests). They do not require consent.
Privacy note: Sentry is configured to minimize personal data collection (no IP addresses, no email addresses, no authorization headers). Only essential error information and anonymized Discord user IDs are captured for debugging purposes.
3.2. Analytics (Optional - Requires Consent)
These technologies help us understand how users interact with our Application so we can improve it. We only use these with your explicit consent.
| Technology / Storage | Purpose | Lifetime | Provider |
|---|---|---|---|
| PostHog localStorage | Product analytics, feature usage tracking, session data | Up to 1 year | PostHog, Inc. (EU Cloud) |
Legal basis: Your consent (GDPR Art. 6(1)(a)).
Data processed: Page views, feature usage, click events, session duration (anonymized where possible).
Storage method: PostHog uses browser localStorage (not cookies) to store analytics data. This includes session identifiers, device information, and user preferences.

5. Third-party storage
Some storage is managed by third-party services we use:
- Auth0: Authentication services - uses localStorage for secure token storage (strictly necessary)
- Sentry: Error monitoring - uses sessionStorage for error context (strictly necessary for service operation and security)
- PostHog: Analytics - uses localStorage for tracking data (requires consent)
These third parties may use storage mechanisms in accordance with their own privacy policies. We only work with EU-based or GDPR-compliant providers.
6. What data is stored
Essential storage (no consent required):
- Authentication tokens and user session data (Auth0)
- Application state and navigation history
- Error context for debugging (Sentry)
- Consent preferences
Analytics storage (consent required):
- Anonymous session identifiers
- Page view history and feature usage
- Device and browser information
- User interaction events
All storage is subject to the same privacy protections and can be cleared through your browser settings or our dashboard.
