Essential storage for sign-in and workspaces. No advertising trackers.

What this site uses
The current public website uses no analytics scripts, advertising pixels, social tracking widgets, or third-party font requests. Its artwork and fonts are served with the website. We do not use the enquiry form for marketing subscriptions.
Account functions use essential cookies and browser storage. We do not present a marketing-cookie banner because optional tracking is not currently installed. If that changes, this policy and any required choice controls must change before optional tracking is enabled.
The sign-in cookie
| Name | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
rfad_session | Maintains your authenticated account session and authorised workspace access. | Up to 15 days. Sign-in access expires after 14 days; the final day only identifies an expired session so unsaved work can be locked for sign-in recovery. Signing out removes it. |
The session cookie is set by this service and is unavailable to page scripts. It uses SameSite protections and the Secure flag when served over HTTPS. The historical RFAD name identifies the existing workspace product.
Browser and companion storage
The account flow may store a pending invitation in local browser storage so it survives verification or a refresh. Temporary join-request state can be stored for the tab’s session. The email companion holds the currently open record and unfinished edits in memory while its panel is open.
Local storage is different from a cookie and may remain until cleared by the application or browser. Clearing cookies or site/extension data can sign you out, lose pending invitation state, or remove unsaved local work. Saved server records are separate.
Your controls
You can sign out through the account controls and block or remove cookies in your browser settings. Blocking essential storage may prevent sign-in or invitation flows from working. Shared devices should be signed out after use.
