1. What we set
| Cookie | Purpose | Type | Expires |
|---|---|---|---|
| Session cookie | Keeps you signed in and ties requests to your account | Strictly necessary | On sign-out, or after a period of inactivity |
It is set with HttpOnly (JavaScript cannot read it), Secure (HTTPS only), and SameSiteprotection against cross-site misuse.
2. What we don’t set
- No advertising or retargeting cookies.
- No cross-site tracking pixels.
- No third-party analytics that profile you across the web.
- No cookies at all on share pages for people just viewing a capture.
Because we only use a strictly necessary cookie, we do not need consent for it under the ePrivacy rules, which is why you do not see a banner.
3. Local storage
The website may keep small preferences in your browser’s local storage (for example, a filter you last used in the gallery). This never leaves your device and is not used to identify you.
4. Your control
You can clear or block cookies in your browser settings. Blocking the session cookie will sign you out and prevent you from logging in, since it is how we recognise you between requests.
Our view-count analytics happen on the server and do not rely on cookies. See our Privacy Policy for what that records.
