Cookie Policy
We use one cookie to keep you signed in, and a self-hosted analytics tool that stores an anonymous identifier in your browser to count page views. No advertising, no cross-site tracking, no third-party cookies.
What is a cookie?
A cookie is a small text file stored in your browser by a website. It lets the site remember information between page loads.
The cookies we set
Session cookie — panoptik-session. Strictly necessary. It is HttpOnly, Secure, SameSite=Lax, encrypted and signed with a server-side secret (iron-session). Expires when you close your browser or after extended inactivity. Not accessible to JavaScript; never shared with third parties.
Analytics — none set. We count visits with our own tracker, which uses no cookie and no browser storage: a visit is counted from an identifier our server derives each day from a key it then deletes, so nothing is stored on your device and visits on different days cannot be linked. It does not run on displays or share links. What it records is listed in the privacy policy.
What we don't use cookies for
- Advertising or retargeting.
- Fingerprinting or cross-site identification.
- Selling or sharing data with third parties.
Third-party cookies
Our application sets no third-party cookies. Paddle (our payment provider) may set its own cookies when you visit a checkout page — those are covered by Paddle's privacy policy.
Controlling cookies
Because the session cookie is strictly necessary for the service to work, you cannot opt out of it while using Panoptik. You can delete it at any time by signing out, or by clearing cookies for this site in your browser settings.
If you block the cookie entirely, you will not be able to sign in.
Changes
If we ever add non-essential cookies we will update this policy and notify you before doing so.
