Privacy Notice

The short version: Town Regular uses two first-party cookies — one remembers the location you choose, the other remembers your light/dark display preference — so the app stays how you left it as you browse. That’s it — no advertising, no analytics, no tracking, and we don’t sell or share your data.

The cookies we set

Your location

  • Purpose: remembers the location you set — a city you pick, a Zipcode you search, or your device location and the city it resolves to — so the feed stays centered where you want it while you move between pages.
  • Type: functional / strictly necessary. First-party — set by Town Regular, readable only by Town Regular.
  • How long it lasts: a session cookie — your browser deletes it automatically when you close it.

Display mode

  • Purpose: remembers the Light/Dark display mode you choose so the app renders in your preferred theme. Once you set it, it overrides your device’s system setting.
  • Type: functional / strictly necessary. First-party — set by Town Regular, readable only by Town Regular.
  • How long it lasts: kept up to a year, or until you change it or clear cookies.

Not used for: advertising, analytics, profiling, cross-site tracking, or sale/sharing of personal information — neither cookie, ever.

Your choices

The location cookie clears itself when you close your browser; you can also remove it right now with the button below. The display-mode cookie sticks around so your theme is remembered, and switching Light/Dark simply overwrites it — you can also clear both anytime in your browser settings. Your device location is never accessed unless your browser grants it — you control that prompt.

US state privacy laws

Under US state privacy laws (including California’s CCPA/CPRA and the laws of Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut, Texas, and others), a first-party functional cookie like this is considered strictly necessary and doesn’t require opt-in consent. Those laws also let you opt out of the “sale” or “sharing” of personal information and of targeted advertising — Town Regular does none of those, so there is nothing to opt out of, and browser signals like Global Privacy Control have nothing to act on here.
