1. In short
Oclockr uses only cookies strictly necessary for the service to work. We use no analytics, advertising, profiling or third-party tracking cookies.
That is why you are not shown a cookie consent banner: the law requires consent for non-essential cookies, and we have none. Asking for consent when there is nothing to refuse would cost you an extra click and give you nothing.
2. Cookies we use
| Name | Type | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
__session | Strictly necessary | Keeps you signed in and identifies you on each request. Without it, signing in is impossible. | 30 days, or until you sign out |
This cookie is:
HttpOnly— not readable by JavaScript, which greatly reduces the risk of theftSecure— sent only over HTTPSSameSite— not sent on requests originating from other sites
The admin panel (admin.oclockr.com) uses the same name, scoped to its own path.
3. Browser storage (not cookies)
Some preferences are kept in your browser's local storage rather than a cookie. These are never sent to the server and never leave your device:
| Key | What it stores | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Theme | Light / dark preference | So the page renders in the right theme immediately; otherwise the screen flashes white on every load |
| Language | Interface language | So you see the right language before signing in; your account preference updates it at sign-in |
| Session hint | "There is probably an open session" | To avoid a needless auth request on start-up. It is not a secret and contains no token |
4. Third-party cookies
There are no third-party cookies on Oclockr's own pages. However:
- If you choose to sign in with Google or Microsoft, that provider sets its own cookies on its own domain (accounts.google.com, login.microsoftonline.com). Those cookies are not ours, cannot be read by us, and are governed by that provider's cookie policy.
5. How to manage cookies
We do not offer an in-app switch for strictly necessary cookies — turning them off would make signing in impossible, meaning the service would not work.
You can still block or delete all cookies from your browser settings:
- Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Third-party cookies
- Safari: Settings → Privacy
- Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security
- Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions
If you block cookies you will not be able to sign in to Oclockr. Clearing local storage resets your theme and language to defaults; your data is unaffected.
6. If this policy changes
If we ever start using a non-essential cookie such as analytics, we will announce it here before using it and ask for your consent. A cookie preference panel will be added at that point; it does not exist today because there is no preference to manage.
