Cookie Policy

Last Updated: April 10, 2026

Introduction

This Cookie Policy explains how AAClatan ("we," "us," and "our") uses cookies, localStorage, and similar technologies when you visit aaclatan.com ("Site") and use our tools.

It explains what these technologies are, why we use them, and your rights to control them.

What Are Cookies and Local Storage?

Cookies are small data files placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, improve efficiency, and provide information to site owners.

localStorage is a browser feature that allows websites to store data on your device. Unlike cookies, localStorage data is not sent to the server with every request — it stays on your device until you clear it.

How We Use These Technologies

We use browser storage for specific, functional purposes related to our AAC tools:

Pictogram Search Cache

When you search for pictograms, results are cached in your browser's localStorage to improve performance and reduce unnecessary API calls. Cache entries are prefixed with "symbols_v3_cache_" and automatically expire after 30 minutes. You can clear this data at any time through your browser settings.

Essential Site Functionality

We may use minimal cookies or session storage to maintain basic site functionality, such as navigation state and UI preferences.

What We Do NOT Store

We do not use tracking cookies, advertising cookies, or third-party analytics cookies.

Communication boards you create in the board editor are processed entirely in your browser. Board data is not stored on our servers or in persistent browser storage unless you explicitly export or save your boards.

We do not use cookies to track your behavior across other websites.

Third-Party Services

Our pictogram browser connects to the Open Symbols API and our own AAClatan symbols API to fetch search results. These requests go through our server and do not set cookies on your device.

We do not embed third-party widgets, social media trackers, or advertising networks that would place their own cookies on your device.

How to Manage Browser Storage

You have full control over data stored on your device:

Clearing localStorage

You can clear cached pictogram search data by opening your browser's Developer Tools, navigating to the Application or Storage tab, and clearing localStorage for aaclatan.com. Alternatively, clearing your browser's site data will remove all stored data.

Browser Cookie Controls

You can set your browser to block or delete cookies. Since our site relies minimally on cookies, this should not significantly affect your experience. However, some basic functionality may be impacted.

Updates to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our tools or for legal and regulatory reasons.

Please revisit this page periodically to stay informed. The date at the top indicates when this policy was last updated.
