Cookies Policy
What cookies are, exactly how Astro uses them, and how you stay in full control.
This Cookies Policy explains, in plain English, what cookies are, how Astro uses them on exmoon.fyi, and the choices you have. We keep cookie use to the minimum that helps the site work, stay secure and remember your preferences, nothing more.
What cookies are
Cookies are small text files a website stores on your device to help it function, stay secure and remember useful information. A few quick definitions:
- First-party cookies: set by us, on exmoon.fyi.
- Third-party cookies: set by another service we rely on, such as analytics or security.
- Session cookies: temporary, and deleted the moment you close your browser.
- Persistent cookies: remain until they expire or you delete them, so the site can remember you on your next visit.
We also use similar technologies, such as your browser's local storage, for the same limited purposes described below.
Why we use them
We use cookies for a short, specific list of reasons:
- Security: to protect your session, prevent fraud and keep the site safe.
- Sign-in: to keep you logged in to your account as you move between pages.
- Preferences: to remember choices such as your light or dark theme.
- Performance: to understand, in aggregate, how the site is used so we can improve it.
We never use cookies to store sensitive personal information, and we never sell or rent cookie data to anyone.
Cookies we use
- Strictly necessary cookies: essential for the site to work, including keeping you signed in and guarding against fraud. The site cannot function properly without them, so they cannot be switched off.

- Analytics cookies: help us see how visitors use the site so we can improve speed and content. This data is aggregated and never used to identify you personally.
