Cookies & Tracking Notice

This notice lists the cookies and browser storage the Platform uses. It is a description of what the application actually sets, not a generic statement.

These documents have been prepared for the Atlas & Crown platform but have not yet been reviewed by qualified legal counsel. They are published for transparency, and several provisions — governing law, dispute resolution, liability caps, and statutory privacy rights — are expressly left unstated rather than asserted before that review. We would rather tell you that than imply a certainty we do not have.

1. In short

Everything we set is either strictly necessary to sign you in and keep the Platform secure, or a preference you chose yourself.

2. Cookies we set

Cookies set by the Atlas & Crown platform
CookiePurposeCategoryDuration
Session cookieKeeps you signed in after authentication. Set only when you sign in.Strictly necessaryUntil sign-out or session expiry
CSRF and callback cookiesProtect the sign-in flow against cross-site request forgery and return you to the right page after signing in.Strictly necessaryShort-lived, sign-in flow only
atlas-languageRemembers the language you selected so pages render in it, including before you sign in.PreferenceOne year
atlas-timezoneRemembers your timezone so dates and times display correctly.PreferenceOne year

Session and security cookies are set by the Platform itself, not by a third party.

3. Browser storage

The Platform also uses your browser’s local storage for a few things that never leave your device and are never sent to us:

  • A copy of your language preference, so the interface does not flicker on load.
  • Which navigation sections you have collapsed.
  • Unsaved drafts in the public comparison and inspection tools, so you do not lose work on a refresh.
  • Whether you have dismissed the notice telling you a translation has not been reviewed by a speaker of that language.

You can clear browser storage at any time through your browser settings.

4. Error monitoring

Where enabled, we use an error-monitoring service to capture technical details of server-side faults so we can fix them. It records the error and the request context in which it occurred. It does not set cookies on your browser and is not used to track you across sites or sessions.

6. Managing cookies

Your browser lets you block or delete cookies. Blocking the strictly necessary cookies will prevent you from signing in; blocking the preference cookies means the Platform will fall back to defaults for language and timezone on each visit.

If anything here is unclear, or you believe a record about you or your watch is wrong, get in touch. We would rather answer a question than have you rely on a guess.
