Cookie Policy

Last updated: February 2026

1. What Are Cookies and Local Storage

Cookies are small text files placed on your device by websites you visit. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently and to provide information to site owners.
Local Storage and Session Storage are web browser mechanisms that allow websites to store data locally on your device. Unlike cookies, local storage data is not automatically sent to the server with every request. Local storage persists until explicitly cleared, while session storage is cleared when you close your browser tab.
M00N Report primarily uses browser local storage and session storage - not cookies - to provide core functionality. This page explains what we store, why, and how you can manage it.

2. How We Use Local Storage

We use browser storage to keep you signed in, remember your preferences, and ensure the Service functions correctly. All storage keys used by M00N Report are listed below, organized by category.
Strictly Necessary (Authentication):
These keys are essential for the Service to function. Without them, you would need to sign in on every page visit and core features would not work.
  • m00n_auth_token - Your JWT authentication token. This keeps you signed in across page reloads and browser sessions. It is stored in localStorage and sent with API requests to verify your identity.
  • m00n_auth_user - A cached copy of your user profile (name, email, role, organization). This allows the interface to display your information instantly without waiting for an API call on each page load.
Functional (UI Preferences):
These keys remember your interface preferences so the Service feels personalized and consistent between visits.
  • m00n_selected_project - Stores the last project you selected, so you return to the right context when you revisit the Service.
  • Other UI preference keys for layout and display settings (e.g., table column widths, sort orders, filter states).
Session Storage (Temporary):
These keys are stored in session storage and are automatically cleared when you close your browser tab. They are used for short-lived operational data.
  • m00n_oauth_pending - A temporary flag set during OAuth / social login flows (e.g., "Sign in with Google"). It prevents the homepage from briefly flashing while you are being redirected back from the identity provider.
  • m00n_version_reload - A temporary flag used for cache busting when a new version of the application is deployed. It ensures you receive the latest version without manual browser cache clearing.
Consent:
  • m00n_cookie_consent - Records whether you have acknowledged the cookie/storage consent banner, along with the timestamp of your acknowledgement. This prevents the banner from appearing on every visit.

3. Cookies

M00N Report does not currently set any cookies. We do not use cookie-based authentication, session cookies, or any first-party cookies.
All authentication and preference data is stored exclusively in browser local storage and session storage as described in Section 2 above. This means no cookie data is transmitted to our servers with your requests.
If we introduce cookies in the future (for example, for enhanced security features), we will update this policy and notify you before any cookies are set.

4. Third-Party Technologies

M00N Report does not use any third-party tracking or analytics technologies. We do not embed or load:
  • Google Analytics or any web analytics service
  • Mixpanel, Amplitude, Heap, or similar product analytics tools
  • Facebook Pixel, Google Ads, or any advertising tracking pixels
  • Third-party session recording tools (e.g., Hotjar, FullStory)
  • Any social media tracking widgets or buttons
If we add analytics or tracking technologies in the future, we will update this policy, clearly disclose what is being collected, and obtain your consent before activating any non-essential tracking.

5. Managing Your Preferences

You have full control over the data stored by M00N Report in your browser. Here are your options:
Clear All M00N Report Data: You can clear all localStorage and sessionStorage data for M00N Report through your browser's developer tools or site settings. This will sign you out and reset all preferences.
Clear Specific Keys: Using your browser's developer tools (usually F12 → Application → Local Storage), you can view and delete individual storage keys listed in Section 2.
Browser Settings: Most browsers allow you to block or restrict localStorage usage for specific sites. However, please note that blocking localStorage for M00N Report will prevent you from staying signed in and will disable preference persistence.
Consent Banner: When you first visit M00N Report, a consent banner informs you about our use of local storage. Clicking "Accept" records your acknowledgement. Since all storage used by M00N Report is strictly necessary for functionality (authentication and UI preferences), there are no optional categories to opt out of. If you wish to withdraw consent, you can clear the m00n_cookie_consent key from localStorage, and the banner will appear again on your next visit.

6. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for legal, operational, or regulatory reasons. When we make material changes, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page.
If we begin using cookies or third-party tracking technologies, we will provide prominent notice and update the consent banner to include granular opt-in and opt-out controls for non-essential categories.
