Cookie & Local Storage Policy
FederationPulse · Published by Monryte SRL · Last updated: 29 October 2026
No Surveillance · No Advertising Cookies
FederationPulse does not deploy third-party advertising cookies, fingerprinting pixels, or behavioral cross-site trackers. We utilize only strictly necessary, local-first storage technologies required to preserve your profiler configurations and validate software license tokens.
1. What Are Cookies and Local Storage?
Cookies are compact text files stored on your device by websites. Modern browser extensions and web applications also use Web Storage (localStorage and sessionStorage) and the Chromium Extension Storage API (chrome.storage.local) to persist user preferences offline without transmitting data to remote servers.
2. What We Store and Why
We classify our technical storage into two strictly operational categories:
| Technology / Key | Type | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
federation_pulse_license |
chrome.storage.local |
Stores your Pro or Enterprise license validation key for offline feature access | Persistent until cleared or uninstalled |
federation_pulse_filter_state |
sessionStorage |
Preserves container selection and risk filter tabs during a DevTools debugging session | Deleted upon closing the browser tab |
billing_preference |
localStorage |
Stores Monthly vs. Annual toggle state on the pricing page | Persistent (local device only) |
| Lemon Squeezy Checkout Cookies | Session Cookies | Set only if you click "Upgrade to Pro" or "Deploy Enterprise" for CSRF fraud defense | Temporary checkout session |
3. ePrivacy Directive & Consent Exemption
Under Article 5(3) of the EU ePrivacy Directive (Directive 2002/58/EC as amended), storage technologies that are strictly necessary to provide an information society service explicitly requested by the subscriber or user are exempt from the requirement of prior consent.
Because all storage mechanisms employed by FederationPulse are strictly functional and non-advertising, FederationPulse does not require intrusive cookie consent banners.
4. Managing and Clearing Storage
You have complete control over local browser storage:
- In Chrome / Chromium: Open DevTools (F12) → navigate to Application → Storage → click Clear site data.
- In the Extension: Uninstalling the FederationPulse MV3 extension from
chrome://extensionsimmediately purges all stored preferences and license tokens.
