1. Public website storage

Theme preference

Local storage: theme

Remembers whether you selected the light or dark visitor theme.

Until cleared

Local storage is held in your browser and is not a cookie. You can clear it through your browser settings. If it is removed, Braided will use your current browser colour preference until you choose another theme.

2. Restricted-platform cookies

If you are invited to the closed platform and sign in, Braided uses essential first-party authentication cookies or equivalent session storage supplied through Supabase. These maintain the signed-in session, support security controls, and apply the session duration you choose where that option is available.

Ordinary visitors do not need to sign in. Updates registration, general contact, and provider-interest registration do not rely on advertising or analytics cookies.

3. What we do not currently use

  • No advertising cookies.
  • No cross-site behavioural tracking cookies.
  • No public audience-analytics cookies.

Hosting, email, and form services may keep server-side delivery and security logs. Those records are not necessarily cookies and are explained in the Website Privacy Notice.

4. Your choices and future changes

Browser controls can clear local storage and block or delete cookies. Blocking an essential authentication cookie will prevent restricted sign-in from working, but will not prevent you from reading the public site.

We will update this notice and introduce an appropriate choice mechanism before adding non-essential analytics, advertising, or similar tracking technologies.
