1. What cookies and similar technologies are
Cookies are small text files a website stores in your browser to remember something between page views: a login, a language, an analytics identifier. “Similar technologies” include browser storage such as localStorage and sessionStorage, which work like cookies but are read only by scripts on the page, and pixels or SDKs that report to a third party. This policy covers all of them, on the The Wallet Station website and in the app.
2. Categories and what this site actually uses
We sort storage into three categories. The table lists every item the website sets today — there is one, in your browser’s localStorage, and it is never transmitted to us.
| Name | Category | Type | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|---|
tws_waitlist | Preference | localStorage | Remembers that you completed a waitlist sign-up in this browser, so the form shows a confirmation instead of asking again. It stores the date and time of the sign-up, not your email address. | Until you clear site data |
Essential. Items a site cannot work without: security, load balancing, keeping you signed in. The The Wallet Station website sets none. Our hosting provider may set a short-lived technical cookie for load balancing or bot protection; it is not used for tracking.
Preferences. The one item in the table. It exists only so the site does not ask you the same question twice, and it lives only in your browser.
Analytics. Not active. No analytics or advertising script loads on the website today, which is why there is no cookie banner to answer. If we enable analytics in the future we will ask for your consent first, and this table will be updated with the exact cookies it sets before it goes live.
3. How to manage or withdraw consent
- No consent banner. The website sets no optional cookies, so it does not show a cookie banner. If optional cookies are ever added, a banner will ask before they are set.
- Clearing stored data. To remove what the site remembers, clear this site’s data in your browser (usually Settings → Privacy → Site data, or the padlock icon in the address bar). That removes
tws_waitlist, so the waitlist form will ask again. - Browser settings. Every major browser lets you block or delete cookies and site storage, for all sites or one at a time. Blocking storage does not stop this site from working; it only means the waitlist form cannot remember your choice between visits.
- In the app. The app keeps your cards and settings in on-device storage and sets no advertising cookies. If analytics are ever added to the app they will be an opt-in setting.
4. Changes to this policy
We will update this policy whenever the storage the site uses changes — in particular before any analytics or third-party script is added. The effective date at the top shows when it last changed. Our Privacy Policy explains how any information we do collect is handled.
