Cookie Policy
Last updated November 8, 2026
This policy explains the cookies and similar browser storage that IgniteEd, operated by Joe Roman-Torres, uses at getigniteed.com. It works alongside our Privacy Policy.
The short version: we use only what is strictly necessary to sign you in and keep you signed in, one setting that remembers you closed our notice, and, if you use walkthroughs offline, what that needs on your device. We do not use analytics, advertising, or tracking cookies, and we do not let other companies place them on our site. We count page views with Vercel Web Analytics, which stores nothing in your browser (see “Other companies” below).
What cookies and browser storage are
Cookies are small files a website stores in your browser and sends back to it with each visit. Browser storage (local storage and session storage) stays in your browser and is not sent to us. Both let a site remember things between pages, such as the fact that you are signed in.
What we store
Every item is strictly necessary, or remembers a choice you made. None of them tracks you across other sites.
| Name | Type | Purpose | How long |
|---|---|---|---|
sb-…-auth-token | Cookie (first party); may be split into numbered parts | Keeps you signed in, and lets our server check that you are signed in before showing a page. Set only after you sign in. | Up to 400 days, renewed while you use IgniteEd; removed when you sign out |
sb-…-auth-token-code-verifier | Cookie (first party) | A one-time security check while you sign in with Google or Microsoft, or reset a password. | Removed when that sign-in finishes |
igniteed.next | Session storage (this tab only) | Remembers the page you asked for while you sign in with Google or Microsoft, so you land there afterwards. | Removed after sign-in, or when you close the tab |
igniteed-cal-state | Cookie (first party) | A one-time security check while you connect a Google or Microsoft work calendar, so the connection can only finish in the browser that started it. Holds no personal information. | 10 minutes, or until the connection finishes |
igniteed.app, igniteed.app.path.… | Local storage (first party) | Remembers which IgniteEd app (IgniteWalk, IgnitePulse, …) and which page you last used in each, so you return there. | Removed when you sign out |
igniteed.pulse.teacher | Local storage (first party) | In IgnitePulse, remembers which teacher’s classes you were last viewing. | Removed when you sign out |
igniteed.viewAs.signal, igniteed.viewAs.return | Local storage and session storage (first party) | For leaders using “View as”: lets your other open tabs know when View as starts or ends, and remembers the page to return to. | Removed when you sign out; the return page also when you close the tab |
igniteed.dashboard-layout.… | Local storage (first party) | Remembers how you arranged your dashboard on this device. Holds no information about others. | Until you clear your browser data |
igniteed.cookie-notice | Local storage (first party) | Remembers that you dismissed the cookie notice, so it does not appear again. | Until you clear your browser data |
igniteed-offline | IndexedDB (first party, this device only) | Keeps walkthroughs you log without a connection until they sync, plus your campus teacher names and the T-TESS rubric so the form works offline. Never sent anywhere except to sync your walkthroughs to your school. | Each walkthrough until it syncs; everything is deleted when you sign out, and anything not synced or refreshed for 30 days is deleted automatically |
igniteed-static-…, igniteed-pages-… | Cache storage (first party, this device only) | Saved copies of the app and the Walkthroughs screen so they open offline. They hold no personal information. | Until the app updates; the page copies are deleted when you sign out |
The “…” in a name stands for our database project’s identifier. Fonts are served from our own site, so loading a page does not contact Google Fonts or any other font service.
Other companies
- Google and Microsoft. If you choose to sign in with Google or Microsoft, or connect a work calendar, you briefly visit their sign-in pages, which set their own cookies under their own policies. Those cookies belong to their sites, not ours.
- Our hosting provider may keep standard server logs (such as IP address and request time) to run and secure the site. It does not place tracking cookies on getigniteed.com for us.
- Page-view statistics (Vercel Web Analytics). Each page you open sends a small report to our hosting provider, Vercel: the page address, the page you came from, and general browser, device and country information. It sets no cookies and uses no browser storage. Vercel recognizes repeat views only through a value computed from the request that resets every day, so you cannot be followed from one day to the next or across other websites, and we see totals only, never individual visitors.
Your choices
- You can block or delete cookies and site data in your browser settings. If you block the sign-in items, IgniteEd cannot keep you signed in.
- Signing out removes your sign-in session from this browser, and any offline walkthroughs and saved pages.
- Because we use only strictly necessary storage, there is nothing in your browser to switch off. Page-view statistics store nothing on your device. If we ever add analytics or anything optional that stores data in your browser, we will update this policy and ask for your consent first.
