Cookies and storage

Typenik uses one cookie, TYPENIKSESSID, which keeps you signed in. It holds only a random code that matches your sign-in on the server – never your name or password – and it is deleted when you close your browser or sign out. Scripts on the page cannot read it, and when Typenik is on a secure (https) address it is only ever sent securely. Nobody reading a share link is given any cookies.

The editor also keeps some things in your own browser, in its local storage:

• your choice of light or dark theme, and view options such as focus mode, dimming other paragraphs and spelling;
• recovery copies of text that has not been saved yet, and your snapshots;
• where the cursor was in each document, which sections are folded, today’s word count and your daily goal, and whether you have seen the focus mode hint.

These stay in your browser and are never sent anywhere. Clearing your browser’s data for Typenik removes them; you lose only those preferences and any recovery copies and snapshots.

Typenik has no analytics, advertising or tracking, and loads nothing from other websites: even its fonts come from your own server. The cookie and the browser storage are used only for things you ask Typenik to do, which makes them what the rules on cookies call strictly necessary, so Typenik does not need a cookie consent banner.
