We don't show a cookie banner because we don't use any cookies that require consent under PECR or UK GDPR. The only cookies we set are strictly necessary for the site to work.
01What's a cookie?
A cookie is a small text file a website asks your browser to store. The next time your browser talks to the website, it sends the cookie back, so the site can recognise you — for example, to keep you signed in.
02What cookies we set
| Name | Purpose | Lifetime | Class |
|---|---|---|---|
authjs.session-token | Keeps you signed in to your DropSignal account. | 30 days, renewed on use | Strictly necessary |
authjs.csrf-token | Prevents cross-site request forgery on auth forms. | Session only | Strictly necessary |
authjs.callback-url | Remembers where to send you after sign-in. | Session only | Strictly necessary |
All three are set by our authentication library, Auth.js. They are HttpOnly (not readable by JavaScript), Secure (sent only over HTTPS), and SameSite=Lax (not sent on cross-site navigations from third parties). They contain no personal data beyond an opaque session identifier.
03What we don't use
- No advertising cookies. We do not run display advertising.
- No third-party analytics cookies. The only usage data we keep — deal click-throughs and server logs — is recorded server-side, without cookies.
- No social media cookies. We don't embed sharing widgets that track you.
- No remarketing pixels. No Facebook Pixel, no Google Ads tag, no LinkedIn Insight Tag.
04Third-party cookies via outbound links
When you click an Amazon link from our site, Amazon may set cookies on your browser as part of its own service. We have no control over Amazon's cookies; their use is governed by Amazon's own policies.
05Managing cookies
All modern browsers let you view, delete, and block cookies per site. If you block our session cookies you will not be able to sign in, but you can still browse the site as a guest.
Guides: Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge.
06Changes
If we ever add cookies beyond strictly-necessary, we'll introduce a consent banner at the same time. The full list above will always reflect what's currently in use.
