1. Introduction
This Cookie Policy explains how NoLog ("we," "our," or "us") uses cookies and similar technologies when you use our website and services.
2. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently and provide information to website owners.
3. Our Approach to Cookies
NoLog does not use cookies for authentication or session management. Instead, we use:
- JWT (JSON Web Token) Authentication: Tokens are stored in your browser's local storage, not in cookies
- Bearer Token Authorization: Authentication happens via HTTP headers, not cookies
4. Third-Party Cookies
While NoLog itself does not set cookies, third-party services we integrate with may use cookies:
4.1 OAuth Provider Cookies
When you authenticate with third-party services, they may set their own cookies:
4.2 Form Processing
5. Browser Local Storage
NoLog uses browser local storage (not cookies) to store:
- Authentication Tokens: JWT tokens for maintaining your logged-in session
- User Preferences: Settings and preferences you configure
Key Differences from Cookies:
- Local storage data is never automatically sent to our servers
- Data persists until you explicitly log out or clear browser data
- Local storage is only accessible by our application, not third parties
6. How to Manage Cookies and Local Storage
6.1 Managing Cookies
You can control and delete cookies through your browser settings:
- Chrome: Settings → Privacy and Security → Cookies and other site data
- Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
- Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data
- Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions → Manage and delete cookies
6.2 Managing Local Storage
To clear local storage used by NoLog:
- Log Out: Use the logout button in our application (recommended)
- Browser Tools: Open Developer Tools → Application/Storage → Local Storage → Delete NoLog data
- Clear Browser Data: Clear all browsing data (will affect other websites too)
7. Your Rights
Under GDPR and other privacy laws, you have rights regarding your data:
- Right to Access: Request information about data stored in local storage
- Right to Deletion: Request deletion of your authentication tokens and stored data
- Right to Object: Decline use of third-party OAuth services
8. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last updated" date.

🍪 Summary
NoLog does not use cookies for authentication. We use JWT tokens stored in your browser's local storage instead. Third-party OAuth providers (Jira, Slack, Teams, Google, Zoom) may use their own cookies as governed by their respective privacy policies.
