Cookie Policy
Effective 2026-10-07 · Last updated 2026-10-07
This policy explains the cookies and browser storage openreserve.app uses, why, and how you can control them. It supplements our Privacy Policy.
In plain English: We use what the website needs to work. No advertising cookies, no tracking pixels.
1. What cookies and browser storage are
In plain English: Small pieces of data a website keeps in your browser.
Cookies are small text files a website stores in your browser. Browser storage (such as local storage) works similarly but stays on your device and is not sent with every request. Both let a website remember things between pages and visits, such as the fact that you are signed in.
2. What we use
In plain English: Sign-in and security, payment fraud prevention, and your preferences.
| Category | What it does | Examples | How long |
|---|---|---|---|
| Strictly necessary: sign-in | Keeps you signed in securely. Set by us; your browser sends it only to our site, and page scripts cannot read it | A secure, HttpOnly session cookie | Until you sign out, or about 60 days of inactivity |
| Strictly necessary: security | Protects the site against attacks, abuse and bots | Cloudflare's bot-management cookie (__cf_bm), when protection is active | 30 minutes |
| Strictly necessary: payments | Lets Stripe detect and prevent payment fraud on pages where you pay | Stripe's __stripe_mid and __stripe_sid | 1 year and 30 minutes |
| Preferences | Remembers your choices, such as your language and display settings. Kept in browser storage, never sent to us | Local storage entries | Until you clear them |
We do not use advertising cookies, we do not allow advertising networks or data brokers to place cookies or pixels on our site, and we do not track you across other websites.
3. Your choices
In plain English: There is nothing to opt into: we only use what the site needs.
We use only strictly necessary cookies and storage, which the site needs to work, so we do not show a consent banner. If we ever add optional cookies, we will ask for your consent first and update this policy.
We treat a Global Privacy Control signal from your browser as a request to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information (which we do not do). There is no common standard for "Do Not Track" signals; because we do not track you across websites, our practices are the same whether or not your browser sends one.
You can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings. If you block strictly necessary cookies, signing in and paying may not work.
4. Our apps
In plain English: The apps do not use cookies.
Our mobile apps do not use cookies. They keep your sign-in in your device's secure storage (the iOS Keychain or Android Keystore) and store your preferences on the device.
5. Changes and contact
In plain English: If this changes, we update this page.
We will update this policy if the cookies we use change; the date at the top shows the latest revision. Questions: hello@openreserve.app.
