Cookie Notice
Yieldwell uses only the cookies and browser storage it needs to work. We don't use advertising, analytics or tracking cookies, so there's nothing to switch off. These essentials don't need your consent under UK rules, but we tell you about them here.
What is stored on your device
| Name | What it does | How long |
|---|---|---|
PHPSESSID (cookie) | Keeps you logged in. Only set when you log in or create an account. Marked HttpOnly (scripts can't read it) and Secure. | Until you close your browser or log out |
Browser storage (yw_… entries) | Remembers your portfolio, saved profit ladders, daily streak, display choices and settings on this device so the app works without an account and offline. | Until you clear your browser data or delete the app |
yw_cookie_ok (browser storage) | Remembers that you've dismissed the cookie banner. | Until you clear your browser data |
| Service worker and its cache | Lets Yieldwell open offline and be installed on your phone or computer. Live prices are never saved here. | Until the app is updated or you clear site data |
| Push subscription (only if you turn notifications on) | Lets us send alerts to this device. Held by your browser, with a copy of its address on our server so we can reach it. | Until you turn notifications off |
Third parties
To show the site in its fonts, your browser asks Google Fonts (fonts.googleapis.com and fonts.gstatic.com) for the font files. That means Google receives your IP address and browser details as it would from any request. We don't set any Google cookies. See Google's privacy policy. Market data is fetched by our server, not your browser, so the data providers don't see you.
Managing storage
You can clear cookies and site data in your browser settings at any time. Logging out ends your session. Clearing site data on a device removes your portfolio from that device only. If you have an account, your synced portfolio will come back when you log in again.
If we ever add analytics or anything non-essential, we'll ask for your consent first and update this page.
More on how we handle personal data is in the Privacy Policy.
