Cookies
Sewpress has no advertising or tracking cookies. Here's everything it keeps in your browser, and the one thing you can say no to.
Needed for what you asked for
These run because you signed in, followed a link or dropped a file. The law doesn't ask for your OK for them, and the site doesn't work without them.
| What | Why | How long |
|---|---|---|
| Sign-in cookies (better-auth.session_token, better-auth.session_data) | Keep you signed in, and let most pages check that without a database lookup. | Until you sign out, or 7 days without a visit |
| Teacher code (sewpress_code) | Holds the code from a teacher's link while you sign up, so Billing can fill it in. | 30 days, or until you use it |
| Dropped file (browser storage) | A file you drop on the home page waits in your own browser while you sign in. It never reaches us until you press. | 24 hours, or until it uploads |
| Scale fix (this tab only) | Remembers a one-click scale fix across the page reload it needs. | Until the page has read it, or the tab closes |
| Your counting choice (sewpress-analytics-choice) | Remembers your answer below, so we don't ask again. Only set once you choose. | Until you clear your browser's storage |
Counting visits
We count page views with PostHog (United States) in its cookieless mode: no cookies, nothing kept in your browser, and you aren't followed across sites. It sees the page address, your browser type and a rough location from your IP address, which isn't stored.
In the EU, the rest of the European Economic Area and the UK, we ask first, and nothing is counted until you say yes. Elsewhere it's on from your first visit, and you can turn it off here. If we can't tell where you are, we ask.
Checking this browser…
Signed-in activity, such as starting a build, is counted on our servers, not in your browser: the privacy policy covers that.
Other sites
Paying opens Stripe's checkout, signing in with Google opens Google, and sign-in and your first upload may show a Cloudflare Turnstile check that tells people from bots. Each sets its own cookies, on its own site, under its own policy.
