Cookie Policy
Last updated: May 2026
1. What Are Cookies and Similar Technologies
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. Similar technologies include browser local storage and session storage, which work similarly but are accessed by the website’s own scripts rather than sent back to the server with each request.
Under POPIA, GDPR and similar laws, these technologies are treated equivalently: any technology that stores information on your device for the purpose of identifying you, tracking your activity, or maintaining session state is disclosable.
2. What Legal Flow Currently Uses
Legal Flow takes a minimal approach. The application currently sets no first-party cookies on your browser. Instead, the following information is stored using browser local storage solely to support authentication and your in-app preferences:
| Storage key | Purpose | Where | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
token | Holds your JSON Web Token (JWT) so you remain signed in across page reloads. The token identifies you to our backend; it does not contain any other personal data beyond your account ID and email. | browser localStorage | Up to 7 days, or until you sign out or change your password |
| Display preferences (theme, locale) | Remembers UI choices such as light/dark mode and language. | browser localStorage | Until you clear browser storage |
These are strictly necessary technologies under e-Privacy / POPIA s69 — no consent banner is required for them, but we disclose them here for transparency.
2.1 No analytics, advertising or tracking
Legal Flow does not use:
- Google Analytics, Plausible, PostHog, Mixpanel, or any other web analytics tool
- Advertising networks, retargeting pixels, or marketing trackers
- Third-party chat widgets, A/B testing tools, or heatmap recorders
- Social media share buttons that load tracker scripts
If we ever add analytics in future, we will update this Cookie Policy and present you with a granular opt-in consent prompt beforeany non-essential technology is loaded into your browser.
3. Managing Browser Storage
You can clear local storage and cookies at any time through your browser settings. Doing so will sign you out of Legal Flow (you can sign back in immediately).
Most browsers also let you:
- View what is stored and delete entries individually
- Block third-party cookies (we do not use these — your choice has no effect on Legal Flow)
- Block all cookies from specific sites
- Delete all storage when you close the browser
See your browser’s help documentation for instructions.

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Cookie Policy on this page and updating the “Last updated” date.
