What we don't do
In short: No advertising cookies, no tracking pixels, no third-party analytics. Nothing follows you to other sites.
- No advertising or retargeting cookies.
- No tracking pixels from social networks or ad platforms.
- No third-party analytics scripts.
Because every cookie we use is needed to run the service, we don’t show a cookie banner: there’s nothing optional to accept or reject.
Other services' cookies
In short: When you pay, you're on Stripe's secure page, which uses its own cookies to prevent fraud.
When you pay online you’re taken to Stripe’s secure checkout, and if you sign in with Google you use Google’s sign-in page. Those pages are run by Stripe and Google and use their own cookies, mainly for security and fraud prevention, under their own privacy policies. Our hosting provider, Cloudflare, may also set a short-lived security cookie to protect the site from attacks.
Controlling cookies
In short: You can clear or block cookies in your browser settings, but you'll need to sign in again, and some parts may not work.
You can delete or block cookies in your browser’s settings at any time. If you do, you’ll be signed out, your country and theme will be forgotten, and signing in won’t work while cookies are blocked. For more on how we handle information, see our Privacy Policy.
