Cookie Policy


1. Introduction

This Cookie Policy explains how Forkcast ("we", "our", or "the website"), a school project developed by Forkcast Solutions at HTL Leonding, Upper Austria, handles cookies and similar tracking technologies.


2. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device by a website when you visit it. They are widely used to make websites work correctly, to improve the user experience, and to provide information to the website operators.


3. Cookies We Currently Use

At this time, Forkcast does not actively use cookies for tracking, analytics, or advertising purposes.

For authentication and session management, we rely on browser storage mechanisms (such as localStorage or sessionStorage) rather than cookies. This means no persistent tracking cookies are set when you visit or use Forkcast.


4. Third-Party Cookies

Forkcast does not integrate third-party services (such as analytics platforms or advertising networks) that would set cookies on your device. Should this change in the future, this policy will be updated accordingly.


5. Future Use of Cookies

As Forkcast is a school project under active development, we may implement cookies in future versions to improve functionality. Potential future uses include:

  • Remembering user preferences (e.g., language or theme settings)
  • Improving navigation and usability
  • Basic, non-personal session management

Any future implementation of cookies will be reflected in an updated version of this policy.


6. Your Choices

Since Forkcast currently does not use cookies, there is nothing to opt out of at this time. Most browsers also allow you to manage cookies through their settings. You can instruct your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent.


This Cookie Policy may be updated at any time as the project evolves. We encourage you to review this page periodically for any changes.
