Cookie Policy

What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device. We also use related technologies such as local browser storage. Together, they help the service remember your session and preferences.

How we use cookies

Pointly uses cookies and local storage that are necessary for the product to function. We do not use advertising cookies or third-party marketing trackers.

Cookies and storage we use

• Authentication / session cookies — keep you signed in (including as a guest) so you can create and join rooms without re-authenticating on every page load.
• Theme preference — remembers whether you chose light, dark, or system appearance.
• Room preferences — may store short-lived client settings (for example timer state) in local storage to improve your experience in a room.

Legal basis

These technologies are used because they are needed to provide the service you request (for example keeping a secure session while you estimate stories with your team).

Managing cookies

You can delete or block cookies in your browser settings. If you block essential session cookies, parts of Pointly (including signing in and joining rooms) may not work correctly. You can also clear local storage for this site from your browser.
