Cookie & Local Storage Policy
This policy transparently explains how ScenoraEdits uses cookies, web storage, and local caching mechanisms to deliver a fast, secure, and personalized video creation experience.
In Plain English (Key Takeaways)
- No Invasive Ad Trackers: We DO NOT deploy cross-site advertising trackers or sell your browsing history to third-party ad networks.
- Strictly Necessary: We use browser local storage and secure cookies strictly for session authentication and account security.
- Functional Preferences: We store your studio UI preferences (Dark/Light mode, timeline zoom level, storyboard card view) locally in your browser.
- Full Control: You can clear cookies or local storage at any time through your browser settings without penalty.
01What Are Cookies & Local Web Storage
Cookies and Web Storage (such as browser `localStorage` and `sessionStorage`) are small text files and key-value pairs stored on your computer or mobile device when you browse websites.
In modern client-side video production applications like ScenoraEdits, Web Storage is crucial for maintaining real-time video project states, draft timeline cuts, and user authentication tokens without constantly reloading pages.
02Strictly Necessary Storage
These storage keys are essential for the operation of ScenoraEdits. Without them, you cannot log in or save video projects:
- Authentication Session (`firebase:authUser:...`): Maintains your authenticated user credentials securely between page navigations.
- CSRF Protection & Security Tokens: Validates that requests dispatched to our backend originate from your authenticated browser tab.
- Active Project Pointer (`scenora_active_project_id`): Remembers which video timeline project you currently have open in the studio.
03Functional & Studio Preferences
We store non-identifying UI preference tokens directly in your browser’s `localStorage`:
- Theme Preference (`scenora_theme_mode`): Remembers whether you selected Light Mode or Dark Mode.
- Sidebar State (`scenora_sidebar_collapsed`): Remembers if you collapsed the project sidebar to give yourself maximum video timeline canvas width.
- Storyboard View Layout (`scenora_storyboard_layout`): Remembers your preferred card grid or compact table inspection view.
- Announcement Bar State (`scenora_announcement_dismissed`): Remembers when you click the close button on the top release banner.
04Third-Party Analytics & Advertising
If you interact with third-party payment gateways during pass checkout (such as Stripe or BuyMeACoffee), those external domains may set security cookies necessary to verify fraudulent charge prevention.
05How to Manage & Clear Cookies
You have full control over your storage. You can configure your browser to reject cookies or delete your local storage cache at any time:
- Google Chrome: Settings > Privacy and Security > Third-party cookies > Clear browsing data.
- Mozilla Firefox: Settings > Privacy & Security > Cookies and Site Data > Clear Data.
- Apple Safari: Preferences > Privacy > Manage Website Data > Remove All.
Please note that if you clear strictly necessary storage, you will be logged out of your session and will need to sign in again to access your Video Bibles.
