Cookie Policy
Cookies are small files stored on your device. We use them as described below. You can change non-essential choices via the banner on first visit; clearing browser storage removes locally stored consent keys.
Essential (strictly necessary)
When you use an authenticated area of the service, our API may set session or authentication cookies on the API domain. These are required for security and to keep you signed in. They are not used for cross-site advertising.
Optional — analytics
If you choose Accept all on the cookie banner, we may load Umami, an open-source analytics app hosted on our servers (not Google). It helps us see aggregate page views and referrers. Umami may use a small cookie on the analytics host. If you choose essential cookies only, optional analytics is not loaded.
Cookie choice (local storage)
Your choice on the banner is stored in local storage under wasteland_cookie_consent (values: essential-only or all). Essential-only means optional analytics is not loaded. You can clear this key from your browser settings.
