Cookie Policy
Draft prepared 28 September 2026 · Effective date: [to be set on publication]
Draft — pending legal review
This page lists what YugenSpace actually stores in your browser today. It has not yet been reviewed by legal counsel; text in square brackets is for counsel to confirm.
YugenSpace uses a small number of cookies and browser storage items to sign you in, keep your session secure and remember choices you make in the app. We do not use advertising cookies, third-party tracking cookies or cross-site tracking, and we do not currently run analytics in your browser.
1. Cookies
These are strictly necessary to provide the service you asked for, or remember a choice you made, so they are set without asking first [counsel to confirm the ePrivacy exemption applies to each]. The sign-in cookies are named with a __Secure- or __Host- prefix on the live site.
authjs.session-token
Keeps you signed in. It holds an encrypted session, not your password.
Lasts: 30 days, renewed while you use the app; removed when you sign out
authjs.csrf-token
Protects the sign-in forms against cross-site request forgery.
Lasts: until you close the browser
authjs.callback-url
Remembers which page to return you to after signing in.
Lasts: until you close the browser
authjs.pkce.code_verifier, authjs.state
Set only when you sign in with Google or GitHub, to secure the hand-off between their site and ours.
Lasts: 15 minutes, only while signing in
sidebar_state
Remembers whether you collapsed the sidebar.
Lasts: 7 days
2. Storage in your browser
These are not cookies: they stay in your browser and are not sent to our servers with each request. They hold preferences and work you chose to keep on this device.
basemap-storage, map-view-storage
Your chosen basemap and where the map was last pointed.
Lasts: until you clear site data
gis-layer-preferences (one per project)
How you arranged and styled layers.
Lasts: until you clear site data
yugen-custom-rois, yugen-recent-rois
Areas you drew and recently used, kept on this device for quick reuse.
Lasts: until you clear site data
admin.activity.timeZone
Administrators only: the time zone chosen for the activity page.
Lasts: until you clear site data
debug
Present only if diagnostics are switched on for troubleshooting.
Lasts: until you clear site data
yugen:stale-chunk-reload-at, yugen:mobile-gate-dismissed
Session storage: stops a reload loop after an app update, and remembers that you dismissed the small-screen notice.
Lasts: until you close the tab
3. Other sites the app loads from
Map tiles come from the basemap providers you can pick in the app (Esri, CARTO and OpenFreeMap). Like any web request, loading a tile tells that provider your IP address; we set no cookies for them. If you choose to sign in with Google or GitHub, they set their own cookies on their own sites, under their own policies.
4. Monitoring
Browser error and performance monitoring (Grafana Faro, listed in our Privacy Policy) is not switched on. If we switch it on, this page will be updated first [and consent requested where the law requires it].
5. Your choices
You can block or delete cookies and site data in your browser's settings. Blocking the sign-in cookies will sign you out, and the app cannot be used without them. Clearing site data also removes areas you saved on this device. Signing out removes the session cookie.
