# Web storage and browser cookies

> Every cookie and web storage key the Sleekplan portal and widget set, what each one is for, how long it lasts, and suggested language for your own privacy policy. All storage is first-party and used only to run the service.

Sleekplan uses a small number of browser cookies and web storage keys to keep visitors signed in and to remember which announcements and pop-ups they have already seen. Everything listed here is **first-party**: cookies are set under your own domain (or your `sleekplan.app` subdomain), never a shared third-party tracking domain. Nothing here is used for advertising or cross-site tracking. See [How Sleekplan complies with GDPR](/help/account-security/gdpr-compliance) for the wider picture.

<Info>
  This is a reference article to help you keep your own cookie and privacy disclosures accurate. Use it alongside [Show your Terms and Privacy Policy](/help/portal-widget/legal), where you present those disclosures to visitors.
</Info>

## Standalone portal cookies

When someone visits your feedback portal directly (on your `sleekplan.app` subdomain or your [custom domain](/help/portal-widget/custom-domain)), one cookie is set to recognize a signed-in visitor.

| Name             | Type   | Purpose                                               | Duration |
| ---------------- | ------ | ----------------------------------------------------- | -------- |
| `_sleek_product` | Cookie | Recognizes a logged-in visitor session on your portal | 180 days |

## Widget cookies and storage

When the widget is embedded on your website through the JavaScript SDK, it uses first-party cookies and web storage assigned to your domain.

| Name             | Type                       | Purpose                                                                                 | Duration      |
| ---------------- | -------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------- |
| `_sleek_session` | Cookie                     | Information for each unique browser session                                             | Up to 90 days |
| `_sleek_product` | Cookie                     | Information about a logged-in visitor session                                           | Up to 90 days |
| `_sleek_storage` | Web Storage (localStorage) | Device session data used to remember which announcements and pop-ups a visitor has seen | Until cleared |

<Note>
  If a visitor's browser does not support Web Storage, or has it disabled, Sleekplan automatically falls back to a cookie for the same purpose, so announcements and pop-ups still behave correctly.
</Note>

## Suggested language for your privacy policy

Because the widget runs on your site, many teams add a short line to their own privacy policy describing what Sleekplan collects. You are welcome to adapt the following:

> We use Sleekplan to collect and manage product feedback. When you interact with the feedback widget, information such as your IP address, approximate geo-location, operating system, and browser version may be transmitted to Sleekplan's servers in the European Union, where it is used to display and analyze feedback. Sleekplan sets first-party cookies and browser storage on this site to keep you signed in and to remember which announcements you have already seen.

Point your visitors at this language, and at your own legal pages, using the [Legal settings](/help/portal-widget/legal).
