Cookie & Storage Policy — Last updated: 11 April 2026

1. Oversikt / Overview

HjemVei uses cookies, localStorage, sessionStorage, and IndexedDB to provide a smooth learning experience. This policy explains each storage mechanism we use, what data is stored, and how you can manage it. For details on how we handle personal data more broadly, see our Privacy Policy.

2. Nodvendige informasjonskapsler / Essential Cookies

These cookies are required for the platform to function. They cannot be disabled without breaking core functionality.

next-auth.csrf-token	Cookie	Protects against cross-site request forgery attacks during authentication.
next-auth.callback-url	Cookie	Stores the redirect URL after authentication completes.

3. Funksjonell lagring / Functional Storage

These localStorage keys store your preferences and learning progress directly in your browser. They are never sent to our servers unless you have cloud sync enabled.

4. Analyse / Analytics

We use analytics to understand how learners use HjemVei so we can improve the platform. Analytics identifiers are anonymous and cannot be used to identify you personally.

analytics_visitor_id	localStorage	Anonymous visitor identifier for aggregating analytics across sessions.
analytics_session_id	sessionStorage	Temporary session identifier; cleared when you close the browser tab.

Additionally, Vercel Analytics and Vercel Speed Insights collect anonymised performance and usage metrics. These are governed by Vercel's Analytics Privacy Policy.

5. IndexedDB

We use an IndexedDB database called NorskLabDB to store structured learning data locally in your browser. This provides fast, offline-capable access to your progress.

Object Store	Contents
lessons	Lesson completion status and scores
exercises	Exercise attempts and results
srs_cards	Spaced-repetition card states, intervals, and review schedules
achievements	Unlocked badges and achievement timestamps
leaderboard	Cached leaderboard data for offline display

IndexedDB data stays in your browser and is not transmitted to our servers unless you enable cloud sync.

6. Tredjeparts informasjonskapsler / Third-Party Cookies

Vercel may set its own cookies for analytics and performance monitoring. Google may set cookies during the OAuth sign-in flow. We do not use advertising cookies or tracking pixels from ad networks.

8. Administrere og slette / How to Manage & Delete

You have full control over the data stored in your browser:

Browser settings: Clear cookies, localStorage, and IndexedDB through your browser's privacy/settings menu.
HjemVei settings page: Use the Settings page to opt out of analytics or reset your local learning data.
Account deletion: If you have a signed-in account, you can request full account deletion by emailing privacy@hjemvei.com.
