Cookie Policy
Last updated: April 14, 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how TinyBridge Choice Boards ("we", "us", "our") uses cookies and similar technologies when you use our application.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device by your web browser. They are used to remember preferences, maintain sessions, and provide functionality. Similar technologies include local storage (IndexedDB, localStorage) which serve comparable purposes.
2. Cookies We Use
| Cookie/Storage | Type | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
app_session |
Strictly necessary | Maintains your authenticated session after signing in with Google. Contains your user ID, email, display name, and profile photo URL. | Session / sign-out |
| Azure Static Web Apps auth cookies | Strictly necessary | Managed by Azure Static Web Apps to handle the OAuth authentication flow with Google. | Session |
3. Local Storage Technologies
In addition to cookies, we use the following browser storage technologies:
| Technology | Type | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| IndexedDB (boards) | Strictly necessary | Stores your choice boards locally for offline access and faster loading. Syncs with the cloud when online. |
| IndexedDB (history) | Functional | Stores your interaction history locally before syncing to the server. |
| IndexedDB (images) | Performance | Caches AI-generated tile images locally to avoid re-downloading them. |
| localStorage (LastLoggedInUserId) | Functional | Remembers which user was last signed in to streamline the login experience. |
4. Third-Party Cookies
We do not use any third-party cookies for advertising, analytics, or tracking purposes. The only third-party involvement is:
- Google OAuth: During sign-in, Google may set its own cookies on its authentication pages. These are governed by Google's Cookie Policy.
5. Cookie Categories
Strictly Necessary Cookies
These are essential for the Service to function. They enable authentication and offline data storage. Without them, the Service cannot operate. These cookies do not require consent under GDPR as they are necessary for the service you have requested.
Functional Storage
These remember your preferences and past interactions to provide a better experience. They include interaction history and login memory.
Performance Storage
These improve loading speed by caching generated images locally, reducing server requests and bandwidth usage.
6. Managing Cookies and Storage
You can manage cookies and local storage through your browser settings:
- Cookies: Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies in their settings. Note that blocking essential cookies will prevent you from using the Service.
- IndexedDB and localStorage: Can be cleared through your browser's developer tools or by clearing site data in browser settings.
- Sign out: Signing out of the app clears your session cookie.

7. Do Not Track
TinyBridge does not use tracking cookies and does not track users across third-party websites. We honor Do Not Track (DNT) browser signals, though our Service does not engage in cross-site tracking regardless of this setting.

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last updated" date.
