Cookies & Storage
Account
Guests can join an invited meeting without an account. If you register, we keep your verified email, securely hashed password, account identifier and creation time until you delete your account in Account. Deletion signs out all devices. The essential __Host-rillay-auth cookie keeps you signed in for up to 30 days; native apps protect the saved credential using device security. Verification and password-reset emails are sent through Tencent Cloud SES in Hong Kong, which processes the recipient address and verification code, never your password. Processing may occur outside your country. Expired verification records are regularly removed.
Where translation time is offered, Apple processes any iOS purchase. We keep the transaction ID, a pseudonymous account ID, seconds credited and used, and refund records for reconciliation and to prevent duplicate credits. These records remain after account deletion. We also retain a keyed fingerprint of the verified email to prevent repeat welcome grants. Deleting your account removes access to its unused time.

Rillay uses first-party storage to provide the features you request. The meeting language you explicitly select is remembered by default, with an opt-out in Privacy settings. Your name and call mode are remembered in the current tab; saving those inputs between visits is off until you enable it. We do not load advertising or third-party analytics trackers or show an automatic preferences popup.
Necessary storage
| Name | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| __Host-rillay | Host-only, Secure, HttpOnly device-session cookie set when you open the meeting app. Keeps your private participant identity and host permissions. Development on HTTP uses rillay_dev. | 30 days |
| rillay-storage | First-party cookie storing the language-memory and persistent-input choices you make in Privacy settings, timestamp and notice version. Allow and refuse choices use the same duration. Earlier choices remain respected. | 180 days, after you make a choice |
| rillay-call-<meeting> rillay-active-profile-<meeting> | Session storage in the meeting tab. Restores an active call and its name, language, microphone and camera settings if the page reloads. | Until the tab closes or you leave/end the call |
| rillay-session-profile rillay-session-mode | Session storage for the name, language and meeting mode you enter or select in the current tab. Avoids repeating your inputs when returning to /app. | Until this tab closes |
Selected language
When you select a meeting language, rillay-language in local storage remembers that language and its save time for up to 180 days. This is used only to restore your requested language, not for advertising or profiling. Turn off Remember my selected language in Privacy settings to remove it and stop future language saves. The website has English, Simplified Chinese, Japanese, Spanish, French, German, Brazilian Portuguese, Italian, Korean, Indonesian, Vietnamese and Thai versions. The rillay-site-language first-party cookie remembers the website language you explicitly select for up to 180 days; the current tab also remembers that choice temporarily. Language-memory opt-out removes the persistent website choice as well.
Optional inputs between visits
| Name | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| rillay-profile | Local storage for your display name between visits, only with permission. Meeting language is controlled separately. | Used only while your 180-day permission remains valid |
| rillay-creation-mode | Local storage for your selected meeting mode. | Used only while your 180-day permission remains valid |
Privacy settings has two independent controls: Remember my selected language is on by default; Remember my name and call mode is off by default. Save my choices applies the selections. Essential only turns off both persistent settings while current-tab inputs and necessary call recovery remain available. Closing the dialog changes nothing. Turning a setting off deletes its persistent values and stops future saves. Earlier explicit refusals remain respected. Unsupported legacy personal preferences and the old rillay-site-language cookie are removed. If storage is blocked, the app continues with the current inputs and browser defaults.
Permissions and live translation
Browser camera and microphone permissions are separate from storage preferences. Use the device controls to request access. In translated meetings, translation follows the meeting mode and your microphone state. Turn off your microphone to stop sending new audio for translation.
Server logs remain enabled
Server access and service-quality logs include time, IP address, normalized route, client platform, meeting mode and durations as applicable. These are server-side records, retained for up to 90 days, and are not disabled by refusing optional browser preferences. They exclude invitation codes, query strings, cookies, names and meeting content in the access and usage logs. Read our Privacy Policy or contact domr@qq.com about your rights.
