Cookies.

Board Badger sets three cookies. All three are strictly necessary, all three are HttpOnly and Secure, and none of them follows anybody anywhere.

bb_session

bb_session keeps an account holder signed in as they move around Board Badger. It holds a signed reference to their session and nothing more. Clearing it signs them out.

bb_member

bb_member is the one somebody invited to a board gets when they open their link. It is what saves them a password, and it holds a signed reference to the membership it was issued for. It grants nothing on any other board. Revoking that person ends it, on every device they have opened it on.

bb_said

bb_said lives for two minutes and carries the answer to the last sentence typed into the command line, so it can be shown on the page that loads next. It is cleared as soon as it has been read.

What it does not use

There are no advertising, tracking or analytics cookies. Because only strictly necessary cookies are set, no cookie banner is shown.

Turnstile

Once switched on, sign up and sign in run a bot check from Cloudflare Turnstile, which may set its own cookie in order to do that check. It loads on those two pages and nowhere else. How data is handled generally is set out in the Privacy Notice.
