Cookies are small text files stored on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) when you visit a website. They allow the site to recognize your browser, remember your preferences, and maintain your session. Cookies do not contain viruses or malicious code.
In addition to cookies, this site may use local storage — a similar technology built into modern browsers that stores data locally on your device. Firebase Authentication uses local storage to keep you logged in to the Brother Portal.
We use a small number of cookies and local storage entries, all of which are strictly necessary or functionally important. We do not use advertising, tracking, or analytics cookies.
| Cookie / Storage Key | Type | Provider | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|---|
firebase:authUser |
Google Firebase | Stores your authentication token to keep you logged in to the Brother Portal. Without this, you would need to log in on every page load. | Until logout or session expiry | |
| Firebase session cookies | Google Firebase | Maintains your authenticated session and verifies your identity with Firebase Authentication servers. | Session / until logout | |
| Navigation / scroll state | This site | Remembers your last active portal tab and scroll position so the interface feels consistent between interactions. | Session | |
| Google Fonts | Google LLC | Loads custom fonts (Playfair Display, Source Sans 3) from Google's CDN to render the site's typography. Google may set performance or caching cookies. | Varies (up to 1 year) | |
| EmailJS session data | EmailJS | Used when sending email notifications through the Brother Portal. EmailJS may store temporary session data to authenticate API requests. | Session |
We want to be clear about what we do not do:
Essential cookies are required for the site to function correctly. The Firebase authentication token is essential — without it, you cannot log in to the Brother Portal. Because these cookies are strictly necessary, they do not require your consent under most privacy frameworks, but we disclose them here for full transparency.
Functional cookies improve your experience but are not strictly required. You can disable these through your browser settings without losing access to core features.
Third-party cookies are set by external services we integrate with (Google Fonts, EmailJS). These are outside our direct control, but we have selected providers that limit their data collection to what is operationally necessary.
You can control and delete cookies through your browser settings. Here is how to do it in common browsers:
Please note that clearing cookies or local storage while logged in to the Brother Portal will log you out and you will need to sign in again. Blocking all cookies may prevent some features from working correctly.
To opt out of Google's use of cookies, you can visit Google's Cookie Policy.
Some browsers include a "Do Not Track" (DNT) signal. Because we do not engage in cross-site tracking, our site's behavior is the same regardless of whether a DNT signal is received. We do not track users across websites.
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the technologies we use or applicable regulations. Updates will be posted on this page with a revised "Last Updated" date. Continued use of the site after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.
