Cookie Policy
Last Updated: May 31, 2026
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files containing an identifier that are sent by a web server to your web browser and stored by the browser. They are widely used to make websites function securely, improve efficiency, and provide operational data to website owners. By utilizing the charged dashboard, you consent to the use of cookies as described in this policy.
2. How We Use Cookies
The charged platform utilizes cookies and similar storage technologies exclusively for essential operational and security purposes. We do not use cookies for third-party advertising, cross-site tracking, or marketing profiling.
- Authentication & Session Management: When you log in via Discord OAuth2, we generate a secure token. This token is stored as a cookie to maintain your session continuously, allowing you to navigate between pages without re-authenticating.
- Security Enhancements: Cookies assist us in validating the authenticity of incoming requests, mitigating Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) attacks, and ensuring that API calls originate from your verified session.
- UI Preferences (Local Storage): We utilize your browser's Local Storage to cache non-sensitive interface preferences, such as your selected active server (guild), sidebar collapse state, and theme choices, ensuring a smooth and personalized experience.
3. Detailed Cookie Breakdown
| Name | Type | Duration | Purpose |
|---|---|---|---|
| charged_token | HTTP-Only Cookie | 7 Days | Stores the encrypted JWT session token for backend authentication. It is inaccessible to client-side JavaScript. |
| active_guild_id | Local Storage | Persistent | Remembers the Discord server you were last viewing to seamlessly restore your workspace on return. |
| sidebar_state | Local Storage | Persistent | Stores whether the navigation sidebar is expanded or collapsed. |
4. Managing and Disabling Cookies
Most modern web browsers allow you to control and manage cookies through their settings. You can configure your browser to block all cookies, accept only certain types, or delete them upon closing the browser.
Important Warning: Because our cookies are strictly necessary for authentication and security, disabling them will completely prevent you from logging into or interacting with the charged dashboard.
To instantly clear your active session and remove our authentication cookie, you can click the "Logout" button located in the dashboard navigation menu.
5. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy periodically to reflect changes in our technology or legal requirements. We encourage you to review this page occasionally to stay informed about our use of cookies.
