What the ForgeRival website stores in your browser, why it sets no tracking cookies, and how to clear what it keeps.

## Waitlist confirmation

After you join the waitlist, forgerival-waitlist in session storage holds the email address you entered so the page can show that you have already joined. It is removed when the tab is closed. The waitlist sets no cookies and adds no analytics or advertising tracking.

## No tracking cookies

The ForgeRival website sets no cookies of its own. It uses no analytics, advertising or marketing tracking, which is why there is no cookie banner. The browser mini-game keeps its state in memory only while the page is open.

## When team registration opens

The registration form will keep drafts in browser storage and use a necessary session cookie. The draft Registration privacy & storage notice describes both; neither is used on the public website while registration is closed.

## Clearing storage

Closing the tab removes session storage. You can also clear this site’s data in your browser settings at any time.
