In short
This website sets no cookies. It uses your browser’s storage for four small things, three of which are needed for the page to work. Analytics are off until you choose Allow analytics. The signed-in app sets cookies that are strictly necessary to keep you signed in.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| folio-theme | Local storage | Remembers light or dark | Until you clear site data | No, you asked for it |
| folio-consent | Local storage | Remembers your analytics choice | Until you clear site data | No, it records your choice |
| Ask session id | Session storage | Keeps your questions together on a church’s Ask page or website widget. A random value, not tied to you. | Until you close the tab | No, the feature needs it |
| Analytics events | Network request, no cookie | Counts page and button events with PostHog in the EU | As set in PostHog [CONFIRM RETENTION] | Yes, only after Allow analytics |
Third-party requests before you choose
Pages load typefaces from Google Fonts, which means your browser contacts Google and your network address reaches it. We are moving to fonts served from our own site. [REPLACE WITH SELF-HOSTED FONTS BEFORE LAUNCH] The developers reference is served from our own site and loads no script from another company. Cloudflare delivers the site and sees request details.
The signed-in app
These cookies are strictly necessary, so there is no banner for them.
| Name | Why | How long |
|---|---|---|
| __Host-folio_session | Keeps you signed in. HttpOnly, Secure, SameSite Lax. | Until you close the browser or sign out. The session itself ends after 7 days idle or 30 days in total |
| __Host-folio_session_church | Remembers the last church you opened | Until you close the browser |
| __Host-folio_session_support | Only for Folio support staff using a church’s grant | Until the support grant ends |
The app also keeps a few interface choices in local or session storage, such as the theme, the last tab opened, an unsent question, and a draft stash.
