Cookies & Privacy Choices
Understand how LocalDesk uses browser technologies and manage the privacy choices available to you.
How LocalDesk uses browser technologies
The website uses a small number of cookies and browser storage keys, all its own. Most are essential: they keep you signed in and let checkout work. One group is optional: measurement and attribution, which runs only where you allow it.
The website loads no advertising or third-party analytics tools and sets no third-party cookies. Its fonts and images are served from LocalDesk itself, and the only other service your browser contacts is our sign-in provider, for your account.
Essential technologies
These are needed for the features you use, so they don't wait for consent. Blocking them stops sign-in or checkout from working.
| Name | Type | Purpose | Kept for |
|---|---|---|---|
sb-…-auth-token | Local storage | Holds your sign-in session, so you stay signed in to your LocalDesk account. | Until you sign out |
sb-…-code-verifier | Local storage | Lets this browser finish an email confirmation or password reset it started. | Until that link is used |
ld_session | Cookie | Tells our pages that this browser is signed in. It holds no session or identifier. | Up to 400 days; removed when you sign out |
ld_access_claim | Cookie (HttpOnly) | Lets this browser finish an invite enrollment it started. | 30 days, or until the enrollment completes |
ld_wallet | Local storage | Remembers which browser wallet you paid with last, so it's offered first. | Until you clear site data |
ld_wallet_tx:… | Local storage | Remembers a transfer your wallet sent for a payment request, so the page doesn't ask you to pay again. | Until you clear site data |
ld_founding_checkout | Session storage | Marks a checkout opened from the founding event in this tab. | Until the tab closes |
ld_choices | Cookie | Remembers your privacy choice. | 6 months |
ld_region | Session storage | Remembers whether your region asks for consent first, so it's checked once per tab. | Until the tab closes |
Measurement and attribution
This optional group helps us understand which pages and links bring people to LocalDesk, and which source a pre-order came from. Visit counts record the page path and where a visit came from, never your name, email, account, or wallet. If you start a checkout, the source and any Founder referral code are saved with your account's pre-order. Counts are written to our own server logs and database, and nothing here is shared with advertisers.
| Name | Type | Purpose | Kept for |
|---|---|---|---|
ld_src | Cookie | The first site or campaign that brought you here, kept with a checkout you start. | 30 days |
ld_ref | Cookie | A Founder's referral code from a link you followed, kept with a checkout you start. | 30 days |
ld_f:… | Session storage | Makes sure a page or checkout step is counted once per tab. | Until the tab closes |
ld_vid | Local storage | A random identifier the founding event's pages use to count a visit once a day. Our server keeps it only as a hash. | Until you clear site data |
ld_t:… | Local storage | Makes sure a founding event page moment is counted once a day. | Until you clear site data |
When measurement is off, none of these is set or read, nothing is counted, and turning it off removes any that were set. Our servers check your choice too before they count a visit or save where a pre-order came from.
Your privacy choices
Measurement and attribution
Checking this browser's choice…
- Where consent comes first. In the European Union, the rest of the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man, Gibraltar and Switzerland, or wherever we can't tell your region, measurement stays off until you allow it, and the site asks you once.
- Everywhere else. Measurement is on unless you turn it off here.
- Global Privacy Control. If your browser sends a Global Privacy Control signal, we treat it as turning measurement off, unless you allow it here.
Your choice applies to this browser on this device, is kept for six months, and can be changed here at any time.
Browser controls
You can also block or delete cookies and site data in your browser's settings. Clearing them signs you out and resets your privacy choice. Blocking essential technologies stops sign-in and checkout from working.
The desktop app
The LocalDesk app doesn't use browser cookies. It keeps your session in the macOS Keychain and its working data in a local database, as the Privacy Policy describes.
Changes
If we add a cookie or storage key, we'll list it here before it's used, and we'll ask for your consent first wherever the law requires it.
