Cookie policy
Effective date: 3 November 2026
In short
The site uses no advertising, analytics or tracking cookies. It only stores what it needs to work, which the law allows without asking for consent (ePrivacy directive, art. 5(3)). That is why there is no cookie banner.
Cookies
| Name | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| awaitlab.session_token (or __Secure-awaitlab.session_token) | Keeps you signed in, shared by the portal and the game wikis | 30 days, or until you sign out |
| awaitlab.session_data | Signed copy of your session, so pages load faster | 5 minutes |
| awaitlab.dont_remember | Remembers that you did not ask to stay signed in | Session |
| awaitlab.state, awaitlab.pkce_code_verifier | Protect the sign-in with an external account (Discord, Google, Apple, Roblox) | A few minutes, during the sign-in |
| NEXT_LOCALE | Remembers the language you chose | Session |
Our host, Cloudflare, sets security cookies (__cf_bm and cf_clearance) to protect the site against bots. They are strictly necessary for the security of the service, so they do not need your consent, and they contain no personal profile.
Local storage (on your device only)
| Key | Purpose |
|---|---|
| awaitlab-wiki-prefs | Light / dark display mode |
| awaitlab.recentSearches | Your last searches, shown in the search box |
| awaitlab.diffView | Your choice of display for page comparisons (unified or side by side) |
| awl-tips-off, awl-tip-last, awl-assistant-notify | Whether you turned off the assistant's tips, when the last tip was shown, and whether you asked for its launch notice |
| awl-notified-until | The last notification already announced on this device |
In the session storage of the tab (erased when you close it):
| Key | Purpose |
|---|---|
| awl-sanction-seen | That you hid the banner about a sanction on your account |
| awaitlab:draft:* | The text of a form you were writing, kept so that it survives the sign-in |
This data never leaves your device. Clear it from your browser settings at any time. None of it is used to track you or to measure the audience: it only makes the site work as you left it. The site has a consent manager ready to be switched on, but it stays off as long as no optional cookie or tracking tool exists.
Your choices
You can block or delete cookies in your browser. Without the sign-in cookies you can still read the wikis, but you can not sign in. If one day we want to add optional cookies (for example audience measurement), we will ask for your consent first, with a choice as easy to refuse as to accept.
