This notice explains how Focustack LLC, operating as Focustack, uses cookies and similar browser technologies. It supplements our Privacy Policy. Questions can be sent to privacy
1. What these technologies do
Cookies are small values stored by your browser and sent with applicable requests. Local storage and session storage keep information in your browser for use by a website. Session storage normally lasts for a tab's session; browser session restoration may preserve it. Local storage can persist until removed by the application, by you or by browser behavior.
Focustack uses browser storage for account access, security, interface settings, temporary workflows and local drafts. Some local drafts contain text you enter. Third-party content, including the YouTube player, can also use browser technologies.
2. Focustack technologies
The entries below describe the reviewed implementation. Their production behavior and complete scope must be verified before this notice becomes effective.
| Name or category | Type and purpose | Configured lifetime or removal |
|---|---|---|
| fs-access, fs-refresh, fs-binding | First-party cookies used for an authenticated session and session binding | Up to five days from sign-in in the reviewed implementation; removed when the application clears the session. The access token's own validity can be shorter than cookie storage. |
| fs-flow | First-party cookie for account confirmation, password reset or a temporary authentication challenge | Up to 24 hours for signup confirmation, one hour for password reset or three minutes for the relevant temporary challenge. |
| fs-oauth | First-party cookie securing the Google sign-in redirect workflow | Up to ten minutes, or removed when the flow completes or is cleared. |
| sidebar_state | First-party cookie remembering the sidebar state | Seven days. |
| Theme and interface preferences | Local storage used to remember supported display preferences | Until changed or cleared by you, the application or browser. |
| Learning drafts | Local storage used to retain certain unsaved learning text | Until cleared by the relevant application workflow, you or the browser; not a fixed server-side retention period. |
| Temporary workflow and cross-tab state | Local/session storage used for supported navigation, temporary drafts, notices and synchronization of account/interface changes | [TEMPORARY STORAGE DETAILS] |
| focustack:flia-blink:v1 | Session storage on the marketing website that remembers whether the portrait animation has played | Normally the tab session; subject to browser restoration behavior. |
The first-party authentication cookies are designed to support secure access rather than marketing measurement. Removing or blocking them can prevent sign-in or disrupt account workflows.
3. YouTube and authentication providers
The application loads YouTube's player to display videos. Google/YouTube may receive device and interaction information and use cookies or similar technologies under its own policies. The player may display third-party advertising. Google Sign-In and the hosted authentication pages may also use their own technologies.
[THIRD-PARTY TECHNOLOGIES DISCLOSURE]
See the Google Privacy Policy and Google's explanation of cookies. A third-party service's technology names and behavior may depend on your browser, sign-in state and settings.
4. Limited analytics
[ANALYTICS TECHNOLOGIES DISCLOSURE]
The beta's analytics design measures visits and selected feature-use events without advertising pixels or session recording. Event collection is not intended to include email addresses, learning-content text, chat text, or YouTube video identifiers and titles. The final provider configuration and disclosure must also address automatic collection of request URLs, identifiers and technical information.
5. Your controls
You can use your browser's controls to inspect, block or clear cookies and other site data. Browser settings differ. Clearing site data can sign you out and remove preferences and unsaved drafts. It does not by itself delete server-side learning records or your Focustack account.
[AVAILABLE PRIVACY CONTROLS]
[DO NOT TRACK DISCLOSURE] [GLOBAL PRIVACY CONTROL DISCLOSURE]
A preference concerning Focustack analytics does not necessarily control Google's separate account settings or all behavior of external websites. Any control shown in Focustack will explain the processing it affects.
6. Changes and contact
We update this notice when the technologies we use or the choices we provide materially change. The effective date identifies the current version. For privacy or account-deletion requests, visit Contact & Privacy Requests.
