Cookies and device storage

No advertising or analytics cookies are intentionally loaded by this preview.

On this device

• localStorage: AERO workspace, demo nickname/tutorial, theme, effects, weather preference, Track Studio draft and a sanitised last-error record. Retained until removed or reset.
• sessionStorage: local demo activity and tester-screen state (up to 12 hours). The tester screen is not secure authentication or data isolation.
• IndexedDB: optional onboard videos, retained until removed, sessions deleted or workspace reset. JSON exports do not include video files.
• Legacy AERO caches: retired in this update; a previously installed worker may require an online reload and closing old tabs to finish updating.

Authentication cookies

Developer and Track Studio tools use HttpOnly, Secure, SameSite cookies, with time-limited sessions. Legacy cloud-account sessions last up to 30 days. Older access tickets may remain for up to 12 hours. Local workspace reset does not clear these server cookies: sign out of each relevant tool. Deleting a cloud account revokes its stored login sessions.

Your choices

Optional weather defaults off. Choose it in Privacy Centre; no marketing preference is inferred from using the app. The local demo uses storage for the requested workspace, not cross-site tracking. Use Privacy Centre to export or clear your local workspace, and existing account controls for server accounts.

See the privacy notice for server storage, third parties and launch-review gaps.
