Last updated: August 30, 2026
1. What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently and to provide information to site operators.
2. Cookies We Use
H2Dedi uses only essential cookies that are necessary for the Service to function. We do not use advertising, analytics, or tracking cookies.
| Cookie | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| h2dedi_session | Holds your authenticated session. Standard logins are signed out after 6 hours of inactivity or 24 hours total. "Remember me" logins last up to 30 days. | Up to 30 days (or until logout) |
| XSRF-TOKEN | Protects against cross-site request forgery (CSRF) attacks by validating that form submissions originate from the site. | Browser session |
| remember_web_* | Set only if you tick "Remember me" at login. Used to silently re-establish your session if the main session cookie is lost. | Up to 30 days (or until logout) |
| h2_device_id | Set only on "Remember me" logins. A random per-login identifier that lets you revoke this specific device from the Active Sessions panel without signing out your other devices. | Up to 30 days (or until logout) |
| h2_locale | Remembers the interface language you picked from the flag menu, so the site stays in that language before you sign in. Signed-in accounts store the same preference on the account itself. | Up to 1 year |
3. Local Storage
In addition to cookies, the Service uses browser local storage to save your theme preference (light or dark mode). This data stays on your device and is not sent to our servers.
