Cookies are small text files stored on your device (computer, phone, or tablet) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently, remember your preferences, and provide information to site operators.
GingerBoosts uses cookies and similar technologies (such as localStorage) to keep you logged in, secure your session, and improve your experience on our platform.
We use cookies strictly for operational purposes. We do not use advertising cookies, third-party tracking cookies, or sell your browsing data to any party.
| Name / Key | Type | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
gb_token |
Essential | Stores your authentication JWT token to keep you logged in securely. Without this, you would need to log in on every page visit. | 7 days |
gb_user |
Essential | Stores basic profile information (username, role, balance) in localStorage to display your account details in the dashboard without extra server requests. | Session / 7 days |
open_forgot |
Session | Temporary flag used to open the "Forgot Password" form automatically when redirected from the reset password page. | Session only (deleted immediately on use) |
sidebar_collapsed |
Functional | Remembers whether you have collapsed the dashboard sidebar, so your layout preference is saved between visits. | Persistent (no expiry) |
Essential cookies are required for the platform to function and cannot be disabled. Functional cookies improve your experience but are optional.
Required for login, security, and core functionality. Cannot be turned off.
Remember your preferences (e.g. sidebar layout). Disabling these means your UI preferences won't be saved.
You can control and delete cookies through your browser settings. Note that disabling essential cookies will prevent you from logging in to GingerBoosts. Below are links to cookie management instructions for common browsers:
In addition to cookies, GingerBoosts uses localStorage and sessionStorage — browser-based storage mechanisms that work similarly to cookies but are never sent to the server automatically. These are used to store your auth token and session preferences on your device only.
You can clear these at any time by clearing your browser's site data or by logging out of GingerBoosts (which removes all stored tokens).
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. Any changes will be reflected on this page with an updated effective date. Continued use of GingerBoosts after changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.
If you have questions about our use of cookies, please contact us via Dashboard → Support or email [email protected].
