How Gemdrops uses cookies and local storage

Essential technologies

Our hosting and security layer may use essential cookies or similar technologies to deliver pages, keep the site available, and protect against abuse. These are used only as needed for security and basic service operation.

Optional browser storage

If you accept optional storage, Gemdrops can store the following in your browser:

• Your recovery key so you can stay logged in on that browser.
• Your private watchlist for the current browser profile.
• The admin unlock token on the admin page, if you choose to use it.

If you reject optional storage

• The site still loads and remains readable.
• Recovery-key login can still work in the current page session.
• Saved login state, saved watchlists, and saved admin unlock are not kept.

How to change your choice

Your browser choice is stored locally so the cookie banner does not repeat on every page. If you want to change that choice later, clear the Gemdrops site data in your browser and reload the page.
