Cookies & Browser Storage
A short, honest notice about what EduConnect stores in your browser — across this site and the BirrClass (/class) and BirrSchool (/school) apps.
1. Cookies vs. localStorage
Cookies are small files a website asks your browser to store and send back on every request. localStorage is a browser storage area a site can read only from its own pages. EduConnect uses localStorage, not cookies, for everything essential — which is simpler, more secure against cross-site requests, and easier for you to inspect and clear.
2. What we store — strictly necessary only
- Session token (localStorage): when you sign in to BirrClass or BirrSchool, a signed session token is saved so the app can keep you signed in and load your dashboard. It contains no password, and it expires when you sign out or when the session ends.
- Interface preferences (localStorage): a few small settings such as your last chosen dashboard view, so the app remembers how you like to work.
- Pending checkout reference (localStorage): briefly, during a BirrPay checkout, a reference so we can return you to the right receipt if you navigate away.
That is the complete list. These items are strictly necessary: without a session token there is no sign-in, and without preferences the app cannot remember your choices. Everything above is set only when you use the apps; the public marketing pages on this site store nothing at all.
3. What we do not use
- No advertising cookies. We run no ad networks and no remarketing pixels, on this site or inside the apps.
- No third-party analytics or tracking scripts. We do not embed trackers; we do not fingerprint your browser.
- No cross-site cookies. Nothing stored by EduConnect follows you to other websites, and nothing from other websites follows you here.
Our promise is simple: your browser is not a billboard.
4. How to clear or refuse
You are always in control:
- Sign out from the app — your session token is removed immediately.
- Clear site data: in your browser settings, open "Privacy and security" (Chrome/Edge), "Privacy & Security" (Safari) or "Settings → Privacy" (Firefox), choose to delete cookies and site data, and select educonnect-3bl.pages.dev (or the site you are visiting).
- Clear everything: clearing all cookies and site data also removes our localStorage entries; the only cost is signing in again next time.
- Use private/incognito windows if you prefer that nothing persists after you close the window.
Because we use no cookies for tracking, blocking cookies will not break EduConnect — the only thing you may lose is being kept signed in.
5. Changes
If we ever need to add a category of storage, we will update this notice with a new "last updated" date and explain exactly what it is for — before it ships. We will not silently start tracking you.
