Cookies & privacy choices
Last updated: 27 September 2026. Cavatim is operated by Boyce Property Services Ltd. This policy covers cavatim.com and the website displayed inside the Cavatim app.
We use essential storage to provide your private diary. We have no advertising cookies, third-party marketing pixels or cross-site tracking. The public example diary uses fictional data and does not send optional usage events.
Your choices
Essential login and security storage is always used when needed to provide the service. Optional usage sharing is off until you allow it.

What is stored
| Storage | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| Secure, HttpOnly session cookie | Essential: identifies your signed-in session; inaccessible to website JavaScript. It does not contain diary text or your password. | The cookie lasts up to 90 days. Server access expires after 48 hours without foreground activity, even if the cookie remains. Logout revokes the session immediately. |
| Browser appearance and navigation preferences | Remembers the desk appearance, last planner page and notepad section you chose. Some keys are scoped to your account. | Until replaced, cleared during logout where supported, or removed in browser settings. |
| Encrypted unfinished drafts | Essential recovery for unsaved writing and changes. Bound to your signed-in account; no readable draft text is stored in browser storage. | Available to recover for 14 days. Removed when saved, discarded, or you sign out; expired copies are cleared when you next open the planner. You can also remove them in browser settings. |
| Account usage preference | Records whether you allowed basic usage sharing. Stored on the server against your account so the website and app use the same choice. | While the account exists or until changed. |
| Optional first-party usage requests | With your consent: feature names, successful action types, counts and foreground/active time. No additional analytics cookie is needed. | Up to 90 days; withdrawal removes your collected usage records. |
| Native Keychain and widget cache | Essential for a widget you connect: revocable device access and a limited agenda. These are app storage rather than browser cookies. | Cleared on sign-out, revocation or the known access deadline. iOS controls when already displayed widget images refresh. |
Changing your mind
Use the choices above at any time. Refusing optional usage does not affect your planner or Pro features. You can also clear or block cookies in your browser; blocking the essential session cookie prevents sign-in. Device/browser copies are separate from server records.
Basic usage measures time when the site or an app screen is in the foreground, with a separate estimate for recent interaction. It is not a record of everything you do while a login cookie exists. Widget background refreshes are excluded.
