What are cookies?
Cookies are small files stored by your browser. Similar technologies include localStorage and sessionStorage, which let a site remember information on your device. This policy covers all of these, together "cookies".
How Bucky uses them
Bucky uses only what is needed to sign you in and remember your preferences. We do not use advertising or cross-site tracking cookies, and we do not sell any data collected this way.
Cookies & storage we use
| Name | Type | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| bucky_session | Essential (cookie on api.buckybot.app, HttpOnly) | Keeps you signed in after Discord authentication. It holds a random identifier only; the session itself is stored on our server, and signing out ends it there | 7 days, extended while you use the site |
| bucky_oauth | Essential (cookie on api.buckybot.app, HttpOnly) | Ties a Discord sign-in to the browser that started it, so nobody can sign you in to someone else's account | 10 minutes, removed after sign-in |
| Onboarding / UI preferences | Functional (localStorage) | Remembers dashboard tour progress and interface preferences | Until cleared |
Essential cookies are required for the Service to function and cannot be switched off from within the app. Functional storage improves your experience and can be cleared at any time from your browser.
Third-party content
The site loads a small number of resources from third parties (for example, web fonts and script libraries from their content-delivery networks). These providers may set their own cookies or receive your IP address as part of serving that content. We keep such dependencies to a minimum.
Managing cookies
You can clear or block cookies and local storage through your browser settings, and you can sign out to end your session on our server. Blocking essential cookies will prevent the dashboard from working.
Changes to this policy
We may update this Cookie Policy as the Service evolves. Changes will be posted here with an updated date.
