What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device by a website when you visit it. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently, to remember your preferences, and to provide information to the site owners.

localStorage and sessionStorage (used extensively on this site for features like login state and cookie consent) are technically not cookies, but function similarly. This policy covers all such client-side storage mechanisms.

What we use and why

Essential storage (always active)

These are necessary for the website to function. They cannot be disabled.

  • mp_cookies_accepted - Stores your cookie consent choice (localStorage). Expires: 1 year.
  • mp_session - Stores your login session data if you create an account or connect a wallet (localStorage). All data is stored locally in your browser only. Expires: when you sign out or clear browser data.
  • mp_users - Stores email/password account data if you register (localStorage). All data stays in your browser. Never transmitted to any server. Expires: until you clear browser data or delete your account.

Analytics cookies (optional)

We use minimal, privacy-respecting analytics to understand how Mempalace is being used. This helps us improve the site.

  • What we collect: Page views, approximate geographic region, browser type, referring URL, time on page.
  • What we do not collect: Personal identifiers, IP addresses that can identify individuals, cross-site tracking data.
  • Who processes it: Analytics data, if any, is processed only by providers that comply with GDPR and do not sell data.

You can decline analytics cookies using the banner at the bottom of this page or any other page on the site. Declining does not affect your ability to use any feature.

No advertising cookies

Mempalace does not use advertising cookies, retargeting pixels, or any third-party tracking for commercial purposes. We do not sell your data. We do not use Facebook Pixel, Google Ads tracking, or similar tools.

Third-party scripts

This website loads fonts from Google Fonts (fonts.googleapis.com and fonts.gstatic.com). Google's privacy policy applies to their font service. The fonts are loaded for display purposes only. We do not pass personal data to Google through this request.

The wallet connections (Metamask, Phantom) are handled entirely by browser extensions you have installed. Mempalace does not transmit wallet data to any server. Wallet addresses stored in localStorage stay in your browser.

Your data stays in your browser

This is important to understand: all account data, session data, and user preferences stored by this website live in your browser's localStorage. None of it is transmitted to a Mempalace server. There is no Mempalace backend processing your personal data from this website.

This means:

  • Clearing your browser data removes your account
  • Your account is tied to this browser and device
  • We cannot recover a lost account or password because we do not have your data
  • No one at Mempalace can access your login credentials or session

Your rights

Depending on where you are located, you may have rights under data protection law including:

  • The right to access personal data held about you
  • The right to correct inaccurate data
  • The right to erase your data (right to be forgotten)
  • The right to restrict or object to processing
  • The right to data portability

Because all personal data on this site is stored locally in your browser, you can exercise all these rights directly by clearing your browser's localStorage for this site. There is no server-side data to request deletion of.

Managing cookies

You can control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to:

  • View all cookies and localStorage data
  • Delete specific cookies or all cookies
  • Block cookies from specific or all websites
  • Set preferences for how to handle cookies from different websites

Note that blocking essential storage (localStorage) will prevent the login and cookie consent features from working.
