Cookie Policy
Last updated: July 24, 2026
2. How We Use Them
We use browser storage for exactly two purposes:
- Strictly necessary: cookies set by our authentication provider (Clerk) so you can sign in and stay signed in securely. Without these, core account features do not work.
- Functional / preferences: a few
localStoragevalues that remember your choices, such as your light/dark theme, a guest session, your favorites/ watchlist, onboarding progress, and whether you have acknowledged our cookie notice.
We do not use browser storage to profile you or to build advertising audiences. See Section 4.
3. Cookie & Storage Inventory
The table below lists the browser storage the Services rely on. Clerk’s session cookies are managed by Clerk and may vary in exact name; the functional keys are set by SwaggyStadium in your browser’s localStorage.
| Name | Category | Purpose | Type |
|---|---|---|---|
| Clerk session & auth cookies | Strictly necessary | Authenticate you and keep you securely signed in across pages. Set and managed by Clerk. | Cookie |
ss-theme | Functional / preferences | Remembers your light or dark theme choice. | localStorage |
| Guest session | Functional / preferences | Maintains a browse-only guest session before you sign in. | localStorage |
| Favorites / watchlist | Functional / preferences | Remembers items you have favorited or are watching. | localStorage |
| Onboarding / intro flags | Functional / preferences | Tracks which onboarding steps or intro modals you have already seen so we do not repeat them. | localStorage |
ss-cookie-ack | Functional / preferences | Records that you have acknowledged our cookie notice. | localStorage |
4. What We Do Not Use
We want to be clear and honest about this. SwaggyStadium does not use:
- Advertising or ad-network cookies;
- Third-party analytics or tracking cookies (for example, Google Analytics);
- Cross-site or cross-context behavioral tracking; or
- Cookies or storage that sell or share your information for targeted advertising.
We do not track you across other websites, and we do not sell or share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising.
5. Consent & Your Choices
Because we use only strictly-necessary cookies and functional browser storage, and no advertising or analytics tracking, consent is not required in order to browse the Services. The strictly-necessary cookies are needed to provide features you ask for, such as signing in.
You remain in control of functional storage and can clear or block it at any time using your browser, as described in Section 6. Note that blocking the strictly-necessary Clerk cookies will prevent you from signing in and using account features.
6. Managing Cookies in Your Browser
Most browsers let you view, delete, and block cookies and site data from their settings, usually under “Privacy” or “Site settings.” You can typically:
- Clear existing cookies and local storage for a site;
- Block cookies for specific sites or all sites; and
- Use a private/incognito window that discards storage on close.
Clearing our functional storage will reset the related preferences (for example, your theme or dismissed onboarding steps). Refer to your browser’s help pages for exact steps.
7. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy if our use of browser storage changes. When we make material changes, we will update the “Last updated” date above. If we ever introduce analytics or advertising technologies, we will update this Policy and provide any consent mechanism required by law before doing so.
