Cookie & Storage Notice

Version 2026-09-03.1 · Effective date: September 3, 2026 · Operator: Third Coast Films, LLC dba MindRiot Labs

No Cross-Site Advertising Trackers

IllumiU does not use marketing cookies, tracking pixels, or third-party behavioral advertising scripts. All browser storage is strictly functional, operational, or diagnostic to ensure your admissions workspace functions smoothly.

1. How We Use Browser Storage

Modern web applications store small pieces of state in your web browser via HTTP cookies, Local Storage, and Session Storage. IllumiU utilizes these technologies exclusively to:

  • Maintain Secure Authentication: Preserving your cryptographically signed login session across page refreshes.
  • Remember Interface Preferences: Remembering whether your navigation sidebar is expanded or collapsed.
  • Enable Offline Resilience & Sandboxes: Supporting interactive demo exploration and guest scratchpads before signing up.
  • Client Diagnostics: Measuring client planning calculation latency to detect performance regressions.

  • Chrome / Edge: Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data → Clear browsing data.
  • Safari: Settings → Privacy → Manage Website Data.

Note: Clearing local storage or deleting the authentication token will log you out of your account, but will not erase your cloud application data.
