Cookie Policy

Last updated: July 14, 2026

This Cookie Policy explains how Social Work Confidential (the "Service"), operated by Erica Jew as a sole proprietor, uses cookies and similar technologies (such as browser local storage) when you visit our website.

1. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. Local storage works similarly and lets a site remember information between visits. We use both to make the Service work and to improve it over time.

2. Categories of cookies we use

Strictly necessary

Required to run the Service, keep you signed in, secure your session, process purchases through our Merchant of Record (Paddle), and remember your cookie choice. The Service will not function properly without these.

Authentication session tokens (kept in local storage by our auth provider).
Your saved game progress and preferences.
Your cookie consent choice.

Functional

Remember settings you've chosen (such as sound preferences) so you don't have to configure them on every visit.

Analytics

We may use a small amount of privacy-friendly analytics to understand aggregate usage — for example, which features are used most — so we can improve the Service. These do not identify you personally and are not used for advertising.

Advertising

We do not use advertising or cross-site tracking cookies.

3. Third-party cookies

When you check out, our payment provider Paddle may set cookies on its own domain to process your purchase, calculate tax, and prevent fraud. Those cookies are controlled by Paddle under its own privacy policy at paddle.com/legal/privacy.

4. Your choices

When you first visit the Service, we ask whether you accept non-essential cookies. You can change your mind at any time by clearing your browser storage for this site — the consent banner will reappear on your next visit. You can also block or delete cookies through your browser settings, but doing so may prevent parts of the Service (such as sign-in) from working.

5. Changes to this policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top reflects the most recent revision.
