The Fine Print
Cookie Policy
Cookies are small notes a website leaves in your browser. We keep as few as the room can run on, and you decide the rest.
Last tended July 2026
The three kinds we keep
Essential — always on
These keep you signed in, secure the forms you submit, and remember this very choice. The room cannot open without them, so they need no consent and cannot be switched off. This includes your authentication session and a cookie named llr-consent that records your decision for a year.
Preferences — with your leave
These remember the mood you set — candlelight level, ambient sound, and language — so the room feels the same each time you return. Turning them off simply means the room greets you at its defaults.
Analytics — off until you allow it
These let us count, anonymously and in aggregate, which pages are opened, so we can tend the parts of the house that are actually used. They are never sold and never tied to your identity. They stay off unless you allow them.
Third parties
Some cookies are set by the providers who make the service work — Supabase for your session, and Stripe when you pay or donate (to prevent fraud). These are covered by their own policies, and we only load them when they are needed. Other providers help run the house without setting cookies here (our host, Vercel, and our email sender, Resend); the full list of who touches your data is in the Privacy Policy.
What we keep on your device
Beyond cookies, the room stores a little on your device so it can feel like the same place. Your preferences and this consent record live in local storage, and any letter you are still writing is kept as a private draft in your browser's on-device database — it never leaves your machine until you choose to save or lose the letter. Clearing your browser storage removes all of it.
Changing your mind
You can revisit your choice whenever you like — nothing is locked in. Open the preferences panel below, or use “Manage cookies” in the footer of any page. You can also clear cookies through your browser settings, though doing so will sign you out and forget your preferences.
