Cookies & browser storage
Effective 31 October 2026
Shadow Sim runs no advertising, analytics or profiling scripts. There is no third-party tracking pixel, no session recorder and no ad network anywhere in the app, so nothing here is used to build a profile of you or to follow you to other sites.
Only the items below are stored in your browser. Two of them are strictly necessary for the app to work at all; the third is a convenience setting.
| Item | Purpose | Lasts |
|---|---|---|
Sign-in session Browser storage (set by our login provider) Strictly necessary | Keeps you signed in between page loads and authorises your requests to the app. | Until you sign out, the session expires, or you clear your browser data. |
__cf_bm Cookie Strictly necessary | Set by the hosting network (Cloudflare) to tell real visitors apart from automated traffic. Used for security only. | About 30 minutes. |
Dashboard layout Browser storage Convenience | Remembers which of the three live dashboard layouts you last chose, so it opens the same way next time. | Until you clear your browser data. |
Why there is no consent banner
A consent banner is required for non-essential cookies such as analytics or advertising. Because Shadow Sim stores only what is strictly necessary to keep you signed in and to secure the site — plus one optional layout preference that you set yourself by choosing a layout — no consent banner is shown. If optional analytics were ever added, a consent banner would be introduced first and this page would list the new items.
Typefaces
The interface loads its fonts from Google Fonts. That request does not set a cookie in your browser, and the font provider receives only the ordinary technical data any web request carries.
Clearing them
Signing out clears your session. You can also remove everything from your browser's site-data settings at any time; the only effect is that you will need to sign in again and re-choose a dashboard layout.
