Plain English: Wigley Studios stores only strictly necessary data—login tokens, preferences, and license state. We do not use tracking cookies, analytics cookies, or ad cookies on our main website. Your browser storage remains minimal and functional.
1. How We Store Data
Wigley Studios primarily uses localStorage—a browser storage mechanism that keeps data locally on your device. Unlike HTTP cookies, localStorage is not sent with every request. It persists until you clear it or until the application removes it (e.g., on logout).
We use localStorage for:
- Authentication tokens (to keep you signed in)
- User preferences (e.g., theme, display options)
- License activation state for Bravura SDK
2. localStorage Keys We Use
| Key | Purpose | Retention |
|---|---|---|
ws_token |
Auth token for signed-in sessions | Until logout |
ws_user |
Basic profile (e.g., name, email) | Until logout |
ws_theme |
Theme preference (dark/light) | Until changed |
bravura_license_key |
License key for SDK activation | Until changed |
bravura_trial_started |
Trial start timestamp | Until trial ends |
3. HTTP Cookies
Regular users: We do not set HTTP cookies for general site visitors. Session management and preferences rely on localStorage and server-side sessions where applicable.
Some third-party services (e.g., Stripe for payments, Google Analytics) may set their own cookies when you interact with those features. See Section 4 for details.
4. Third-Party Services
These services may set cookies or use similar storage:
| Service | Purpose | Identifier |
|---|---|---|
| Stripe | Payment processing, checkout | Stripe cookies (see Stripe Privacy Policy) |
| Google Analytics | Conversion tracking, minimal analytics | AW-17689026614 |
| Google Fonts | Inter font delivery | Google may set font-related cookies |
| Font Awesome | Icon delivery | Font Awesome Kit (55b5d51a5f) |
5. What We Do NOT Use
- Retargeting or behavioral ad cookies
- Behavioral profiling or cross-site tracking
- Fingerprinting or device identification for marketing
- Third-party ad networks
6. Consent Banner
Strictly necessary storage (login, preferences, license state) does not require consent under most privacy regulations. However, we use a minimal Google Analytics integration (AW-17689026614) for conversion tracking, which sets cookies.
We plan to add a consent mechanism for EU visitors to control optional analytics. For now, if you prefer to avoid analytics cookies, you can block third-party cookies in your browser or use a privacy-focused extension.
7. Managing Your Storage
You can clear or manage localStorage and cookies in your browser:
- Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Clear browsing data → Cookies and other site data / Cached images and files
- Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data → Clear Data
- Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data
Clearing storage will log you out and reset preferences. Your license remains valid on our servers; you may need to re-activate in the Bravura SDK if you clear bravura_license_key.
8. Changes to This Policy
We may update this policy to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. The "Last updated" date at the top indicates when the policy was last revised. Material changes will be noted on this page and, where appropriate, communicated via email or a site notice.
