This Cookie Policy explains how AAClatan ("we," "us," and "our") uses browser storage when you visit aaclatan.com ("Site") and use our tools.
The key point: all data we store lives entirely on your device. Nothing is sent to our servers. We do not use tracking cookies, advertising cookies, or any third-party analytics.
We use your browser's localStorage — a local-only storage mechanism that never transmits data to any server. Here is exactly what we store:
Your communication board (layout, button labels, symbols, and colors) is automatically saved in localStorage under the key "aaclatan_board_state" so your work persists between sessions. This data lives entirely on your device and is never sent to our servers. It persists until you clear it or reset the board.
When you search for pictograms, results are cached locally under keys prefixed with "symbols_v3_cache_" and "board_symbols_cache_". These entries automatically expire after 30 minutes. This data never leaves your browser.
When you acknowledge the cookie notice, we save a single key ("aaclatan_cookie_consent") in localStorage so we don't show the notice again. This is stored only on your device.
Your sidebar open/closed state is saved under the key "sidebar_expanded" so the interface remembers your preference. This is a simple flag stored only on your device.
We do not set tracking cookies, advertising cookies, or third-party analytics cookies.
We do not send any locally stored data to our servers or to any third party.
Communication boards you create are saved in your browser's localStorage so your work is not lost. This board data stays entirely on your device and is never uploaded to our servers unless you explicitly export and share it.
We do not track your behavior across other websites.
Pictogram search cache entries automatically expire after 30 minutes.
Board data persists in localStorage until you reset the board or clear your browser data.
Your cookie consent preference and sidebar state persist until you clear your browser data.
All stored data can be removed at any time by clearing your browser's site data for aaclatan.com.
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-side proxy and do not set cookies or store data on your device.
We do not embed third-party widgets, social media trackers, or advertising networks.
You have full control over all data stored on your device:
Open your browser's Developer Tools (F12), go to the Application or Storage tab, and clear localStorage for aaclatan.com. Alternatively, use your browser's "Clear site data" option in Settings.
Since we rely minimally on cookies, blocking them should not affect your experience. You can manage cookie settings in your browser's privacy preferences.
We may update this Cookie Policy to reflect changes in our tools or for legal reasons.
Please revisit this page periodically. The date above indicates when this policy was last updated.
If you have any questions or concerns about this policy, please contact us at support@aaclatan.com.
