Cookie Policy

Last updated: April 15, 2026

1. What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files stored on your device by your browser when you visit a website. They help the site remember information about your visit. WhaleGram uses a minimal set of cookies strictly necessary to operate the Service.

2. Cookies We Use

NameTypeDurationPurpose
wg_adv_tokenStrictly Necessary24 hoursStores your authentication session (JWT). HTTP-only — cannot be read by JavaScript. Set only when you log in via Telegram. Without this cookie you cannot access the Advertiser Portal.

We currently use no analytics, advertising, or tracking cookies. We do not use Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, or any similar third-party tracking tools.

3. Third-Party Cookies

When you use the Telegram Login Widget on the Advertiser Portal login page, Telegram may set its own cookies as part of the OAuth-style authentication flow. These cookies are governed by Telegram's Privacy Policy.

No other third-party scripts or iframes are loaded on WhaleGram pages that could set cookies.

4. How to Control Cookies

Since we only use a strictly necessary session cookie, consent is not required under most privacy regulations (including the GDPR and ePrivacy Directive). However, you can control cookies through your browser settings:

  • Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data
  • Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
  • Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data
  • Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions

Note: disabling the wg_adv_token cookie will prevent you from staying logged in to the Advertiser Portal — you will need to log in again on each visit.

5. Local Storage and Session Storage

WhaleGram does not use localStorage or sessionStorage to store personal data or session tokens. Authentication state is managed exclusively via the HTTP-only cookie described above.

6. Changes to This Policy

If we introduce new cookies (e.g. analytics in the future), we will update this policy, add the new cookies to the table above, and obtain consent where required by law.
