Cookie policy

Cookies are small text files a website stores in your browser so it can recognize you between pages and visits — for example, so you stay signed in rather than entering your password on every page. Related browser technologies, such as localStorage, store small pieces of information directly on your device without sending them to a server. For simplicity, this policy covers both and notes which is which.

Everything we store in your browser falls into one of three categories:

• Strictly necessary — required for the service to work at all: keeping your session signed in, protecting forms, and remembering your cookie choices. These cannot be switched off, because the service does not function without them.
• Preferences — remember interface settings you have chosen, such as text size, contrast, and reduced motion, so the product looks the way you set it on every visit.
• Analytics — privacy-conscious product analytics that help us understand which features help families most. Where the law requires consent, these are set only after you agree, and declining never limits the product.

EverElder uses no advertising cookies, no cross-site tracking, and no social-media pixels. We do not participate in advertising networks, and nothing we store in your browser follows you around the web. What your family does in its workspace is nobody’s business but your family’s — that principle extends all the way down to the cookie layer.

The complete list. If a future release adds or changes an entry, this table and the date at the top of the page will be updated first.

Note on ee-prefs: this entry uses localStorage rather than a cookie — the settings stay on your device and are not transmitted with requests to our servers.

Where consent is required, a banner asks before any analytics cookie is set, and you can change your answer at any time from the cookie settings link in the footer or in Settings. Declining analytics leaves everything else working exactly the same — there is no reduced experience for saying no.

Every major browser lets you view, delete, and block cookies — for one site or for all sites:

• Chrome — Settings → Privacy and security → Third-party cookies and Site settings.
• Safari — Settings → Privacy (macOS), or Settings → Apps → Safari → Advanced (iOS).
• Firefox— Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data.
• Edge — Settings → Cookies and site permissions.

Keep in mind that blocking or deleting strictly necessary cookies signs you out and can prevent the service from working; blocking preference storage means your interface settings reset each visit.

If we add a cookie, change a duration, or adjust a category, we will update this page and the date at the top. Changes that require new consent — such as a new analytics tool — will be asked for through the consent banner, never assumed.
