Cookie Policy
This policy explains the cookies and similar technologies used by Your Comments. We keep this to a minimum: we do not use advertising cookies or third-party analytics trackers.
1. What cookies are
Cookies are small text files a website saves in your browser. "Local storage" and "service worker cache" are similar tools that keep small amounts of data on your device.
2. What we use
| Name | Type | What it does | How long |
|---|---|---|---|
yc_sid | Essential cookie | Keeps you logged in. Without it you cannot use an account. | Until you log out or the session expires |
| Sign-in state cookies | Essential cookie | Used only during Google or Apple sign-in, to protect against fake sign-in requests. | A few minutes |
yc_device | Local storage | A random ID for this browser, used to count unique visitors and to stop duplicate or fake visits. | Until you clear your browser data |
yc_me | Local storage | Remembers the name, handle and contact you used when commenting as a guest, so you do not have to type them again. | Until you clear your browser data |
yc_lang | Local storage | Remembers the language you picked. | Until you clear your browser data |
| App cache | Service worker | Saves the app's files so it opens quickly and works when you are offline. It never stores your private data. | Until the next app update |
Because these items are needed for the Service to work, we do not ask for consent before using them.
3. Third parties

4. Your choices
You can delete or block cookies and site data in your browser settings. If you block essential cookies, you will not be able to log in. Clearing site data also resets your saved language and guest details.
