Cookies
Three cookies, none of which follows you anywhere. That is why there is no banner asking about them.

02What is set
- __convexAuthJWTsession · strictly necessary
- Proves to the backend that this browser is signed in as you. Set when you sign in, refreshed as you use the app, and deleted when you sign out.
- __convexAuthRefreshTokensession · strictly necessary
- Renews the one above so a long session does not sign you out mid-draft. Deleted at the same time, by the same action.
- sidebar_state7 days · preference
- Whether the sidebar is open or collapsed, so the app does not reopen it every time you load a page. Written only when you press the control that collapses it, and only inside the app.
The first two are set only after you sign in. A visitor who reads the home page and leaves has had nothing written to their browser at all.
03What else is kept in your browser
One thing, and it is local storage rather than a cookie, which means it is never sent to a server: a key named roliii-theme, holding light, dark or system, written if you change the theme. Nothing reads it but the page you are on.
04What is not set
- No analytics. There is no measurement script on any page of the site, so no visit is counted and no journey through it is recorded.
- No advertising or remarketing tags, and no social network pixels.
- No session recording, heatmaps, or scroll tracking.
- No third-party cookies of any kind. Nothing on the site sets a cookie for a domain that is not this one.
Payments are the one place you leave: a checkout hands you to Polar, on their own domain, under their own notice. Nothing they set is set here.
05Clearing them, and what breaks
Every browser can block or clear cookies for a single site, and you do not need permission to do it here. Signing out clears the two session cookies anyway.
Blocking them costs you the sign-in: without the two above there is no way to prove a request is yours, so the app cannot be used signed out. Clearing sidebar_state costs you nothing but a sidebar that opens.
06If this changes
This page lists every cookie the app sets, by name. If one is ever added that is not strictly necessary, it will be asked about before it is set, and the answer will be one you can change. Questions go to support@roliii.com.
