Cookies & browser storage
Updated October 27, 2026
This website uses limited browser storage for owner access and to remember whether you dismissed its privacy note. This is an information notice, not a request to accept advertising cookies. Class email consent is a separate unchecked signup checkbox.
Storage in this website’s code
| Name | Purpose and duration |
|---|---|
burton_session | Owner-login session cookie; set after successful owner login, with a maximum age of 30 days for existing password sessions. After optional development owner-code setup, ordinary code sessions last up to eight hours and restricted password-recovery sessions up to ten minutes. It is Secure, HttpOnly and SameSite=Lax. Logging out clears the cookie and invalidates its server session. |
burton_class_override | Legacy owner class-link setting cookie, set when that setting is saved; maximum age 10 minutes. It is Secure, HttpOnly and SameSite=Lax and scoped to burtonnewcomb.com. It is not an attendee email-consent record. |
burton_privacy_notice_v1 | Local storage, not a cookie. Written only when you click Got it on the short privacy note. It stores “dismissed,” not your name or email. It has no automatic expiry and remains for that website origin until browser data is cleared. |
Choices
You can clear or block cookies and local storage in your browser settings. Blocking owner-session cookies prevents owner sign-in from staying active. If local storage is unavailable, the short notice can still be dismissed for the current page, but may appear again. The main website and class subdomain may show the notice separately because browser local storage is origin-specific. Privacy and Cookies links remain available after dismissal.
Hosting and external services
The application code does not install an advertising or analytics SDK. Hosting/security services can process technical request data or introduce their own cookies depending on the deployed configuration. The main page loads Google Fonts; Google Meet, Gmail authorization and linked social websites have their own practices when used. See Cloudflare’s privacy policy and Google’s privacy policy. This notice does not claim that those separate services use no cookies.
For signup information and email choices, see the privacy notice. No advertising consent or email signup is created by clicking Got it.
