Cookie policy
Last updated: October 21, 2026
The short version. We don’t set tracking, analytics or advertising cookies, and no third party sets cookies on our site. We use your browser’s own storage so the tools can remember your entries. The same rules as cookies apply, so we ask for your choice first.
What we use, and why
Saving things in your browser is what lets the tool feed your You page: without it, a check-in or journal entry would disappear when you close the tab. It is in your interest to allow it if you want the tools to be useful over time. It is anonymous: there are no accounts, names or emails, and it never leaves your device.
| Name | What it’s for | How long | Needs consent? |
|---|---|---|---|
tfh:consent | Remembers your choice on this banner. | Until you clear your browser data | No (it only stores your choice) |
tfh:v1 | Your record: check-ins, journal, patterns, wake-up times, circle, name, PIN hash and settings. Feeds the You page. | Until you clear it | Yes |
tfh:theme | Your light or dark choice. | Until you clear it | Yes |
tfh:votes | Which ideas you’ve voted for, so you aren’t asked twice. | Until you clear it | Yes |
What we don’t use
- No analytics or measurement tools.
- No advertising or social media trackers.
- No third-party cookies. Fonts are hosted on our own site.
Your choice
You can accept or reject. If you reject, the tools still work, but nothing is saved after you close the tab. You can change your mind any time:
Rejecting, or withdrawing consent later, deletes what we saved in this browser. You can also remove everything with “Clear everything” on the You page, or clear this site’s data in your browser settings.
