Legal & CookiesLast Updated: August 1, 2026

Cookie Policy

We keep cookie and local storage usage minimal, transparent, and strictly focused on essential platform functionality.

Privacy Guarantee

Campus Ghost does NOT use cross-site tracking cookies, third-party advertising cookies, or data-selling pixels. Our storage is used strictly for authentication, theme preferences, and security.

1. What Are Cookies & Local Storage

Cookies are small text files placed on your browser or device when you visit a website. Local storage (like HTML5 Web Storage) allows web applications to store data locally within your browser for performance and offline capabilities.

2. How Campus Ghost Uses Storage

We use cookies and browser local storage for specific, essential purposes:

  • Authentication & Security: Keeping your session logged in securely under your Ghost ID and protecting against Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) attacks.
  • User Preferences: Remembering your chosen visual mode (dark mode vs. light mode) and sidebar state.
  • Rate Limiting & Anti-Spam: Preventing automated bots and flood-posting to protect college feeds.
  • Privacy-Friendly Analytics: Aggregating non-identifying page view metrics to help improve article layout and Help Hub search.

4. Zero Third-Party Advertising Trackers

Unlike traditional social networks, Campus Ghost does not monetize student behavior. We do not place advertising cookies, retargeting scripts, or third-party data broker SDKs on our platform.

5. How to Control & Disable Cookies

You can restrict or block cookies through your browser settings. Note that disabling essential session cookies may prevent you from logging into Campus Ghost or accessing personalized college feeds.
