Cookies are small files a website saves in your browser. GradNode uses as few as possible.
Essential cookies
These are always on, because the site can't work without them.
| Name | What it does | How long |
|---|---|---|
| gn_session | Keeps you logged in. | 30 days, or until you log out |
| gn_oauth | Protects Sign in with Google from being misused. | 10 minutes |
| gn_consent | Remembers your cookie choice. | 6 months |
We also keep short-lived drafts and settings in your browser's session storage while you use the site. They are deleted when you close the tab or log out.
Your browser also remembers the time you last saw the opening animation (no personal information), so it plays at most once every 12 hours.
Optional cookies
We don't use any analytics or advertising cookies at the moment. If we add analytics later, they will only run if you choose "Accept all" or turn them on in cookie settings, and we will list them here.
