Cookies Policy
Last updated: 27 May 2026 · Version 1.0
1. What is a cookie?
A cookie is a small text file that a website stores on your device. Cookies let a site remember your preferences or keep you logged in across page loads. Some cookies are essential to make the site work at all; others are used for analytics or advertising. This page explains exactly what cookies Squeezekit uses, why, and how long they last.
2. Cookies we set ourselves (first-party)
| Name | Purpose | Category | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| squeezekit_sid | Keeps you logged in across pages. Also holds CSRF token to protect form submissions. | Essential | 30 days (expires sooner if you log out) |
This is the only cookie we set ourselves. It is HttpOnly, Secure, and SameSite=Lax. Without it you cannot log in.
3. Third-party cookies (only on specific pages)
When you visit a Stripe-hosted payment page (Pro / Ultra checkout) Stripe sets its own cookies to process the payment and detect fraud. These are essential for the transaction; they are governed by Stripe's cookie policy. We do not control them.
| Provider | When set | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Stripe | Only when you open the Pro/Ultra checkout | Process payment, detect fraud (essential) |
4. What we do NOT use
- ❌ No Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, or any analytics cookie
- ❌ No Facebook Pixel, TikTok pixel, LinkedIn Insight, or any social tracker
- ❌ No advertising / retargeting cookies
- ❌ No cross-site tracking
- ❌ No fingerprinting
Because we do not run any non-essential cookies we are not required under the EU ePrivacy Directive to show a consent banner.
5. How to control cookies
- Browser settings — every major browser lets you block or delete cookies. Doing so for
squeezekit_sidwill log you out and prevent future logins until you re-enable it. - Private / incognito mode — sessions still work but the cookie is wiped when you close the window.
- Do Not Track — we honour DNT by not running any non-essential tracking anyway.
6. Local storage
In addition to the cookie above we may use your browser's localStorage to remember your last selected output format and other UI preferences. This data lives only in your browser, never reaches our servers. You can clear it any time from your browser's storage settings.
7. Changes to this policy
If we ever start using a non-essential cookie (we do not currently plan to) we will update this page, change the "Last updated" date, and ask for your consent via a banner before setting it.
