Xamseen
Cookies & local storage
Xamseen stores the minimum needed to keep you signed in and remember your preferences. There is nothing here for advertising, because Xamseen does not run advertising.
Last updated 8 August 2026
Summary
Two kinds of storage are in play: a session so the service knows you are signed in, and a small number of preferences saved in your browser so the app looks and behaves the way you left it. Both stay on your device until they expire or you clear them.
What Xamseen stores
| What | Purpose | Type | Lifetime |
|---|---|---|---|
| Authentication session | Keeps you signed in and authorises your requests. Without it you would have to sign in on every page. | Strictly necessary | Until sign-out or expiry |
| Theme preference | Remembers whether you chose light, dark or system appearance, and applies it before the page paints. | Preference | Until you clear it |
| Interface state | Small things like dismissed notices and your last selected feed view. | Preference | Until you clear it |
| Offline app cache | When Xamseen is installed as an app, a service worker caches the interface so it opens on a poor connection. | Strictly necessary | Until updated or uninstalled |
Third-party requests
The civic map loads map tiles and place lookups from a mapping provider. Those requests are made by your browser directly to that provider, so it necessarily sees your IP address and the map area you are viewing, and it applies its own policies to that request. This is required to draw a map; it is not tracking that we add.
Beyond that, Xamseen does not embed third-party scripts for advertising, analytics or social tracking.
How to control it
You can clear cookies and site data for Xamseen at any time in your browser settings, and you can block them entirely. Blocking the authentication session will sign you out and prevent sign-in, since that storage is what makes an account work. Clearing preferences simply resets appearance and interface state to their defaults.
If Xamseen is installed as an app on your device, uninstalling it removes its offline cache.
