Cookies
We only use cookies that are necessary for the service to work. No analytics cookies, no advertising, no cross-site tracking.
Last updated: May 24, 2026
Summary
- We only set strictly necessary cookies — no consent banner needed.
- No Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, or other third-party tracking scripts.
- All data stored within the EU — no transfer to the US.
- You can block cookies in your browser — sign-in will then stop working.
1. What is a cookie?
A cookie is a small text file stored in your browser when you visit a website. It is used to remember choices, keep you signed in, or measure usage. Cookies cannot run programs or read data from your hard drive.
2. Cookies we use
We group cookies by purpose. All of our cookies are strictly necessary — meaning the service cannot deliver core functionality without them.
3. Third-party cookies
We set no third-party cookies. We do not use Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, HotJar, LinkedIn Insight, or other tracking pixels. The service runs completely without external user-identifying telemetry.
Exception during payment
During the payment flow you are temporarily redirected to Stripe (EU instance), which sets its own cookies for secure card handling. These are Stripe's responsibility — see stripe.com/cookie-settings.
4. localStorage and sessionStorage
In addition to cookies we use two browser-based storages (both deleted when you clear browser data):
-
localStorage
Used to remember expanded/collapsed state of the admin sidebar so it doesn't reset every time you navigate.
-
sessionStorage
Used to preserve scroll position when changing language or during certain form submissions, so you aren't thrown back to the top.
5. How to manage cookies
You can delete or block cookies via your browser settings. Note that sign-in will not work if you block our cookies.

If we change which cookies we use, we update this page and set the "Last updated" date. If we ever consider introducing cookies that require consent, you will be given an explicit choice before any such cookie is set.

We have deliberately designed the service to avoid needing a cookie banner — fewer clicks for you.
