1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website stores in your browser when you visit. In addition to traditional cookies, Shenvy also uses browser localStorage, which works similarly but is never automatically sent to the server.
This policy covers both HTTP cookies and localStorage items used by the Shenvy web application (shenvy.app) and landing site (shenvy.net).
2. Cookies and Local Storage We Use
The table below is a complete inventory of every cookie and localStorage item used by Shenvy.

| shenvy_identity | Shenvy | Strictly Necessary | Persistent (localStorage) | Stores your browser's encryption keypair for zero-knowledge secret access | No |

3. Managing Your Cookie Preferences
When you visit shenvy.app or shenvy.net for the first time, a consent banner is displayed at the bottom of the screen with two clear choices: Accept (grants analytics consent) or Decline (declines analytics cookies).
To withdraw consent: open Developer Tools (F12), navigate to Application → Local Storage → shenvy.net, and delete the shenvy_cookie_consent key. The consent banner will reappear on your next page load.
