Cookie notice
Version 1.0. Effective [EFFECTIVE_DATE].
The short version
plintus uses only the cookies and browser storage it needs to work. It uses no advertising cookies, no tracking cookies and no third-party trackers. So there is no cookie banner and nothing to accept.
Our statistics are cookie-free. They count page views and named events without cookies and without personal data (ADR 0019).
The law, in one line
The ePrivacy rules (Directive 2002/58/EC, Article 5(3)) say a site must ask for consent before it stores or reads something on your device, unless it is strictly necessary to give you a service you asked for. Everything below is strictly necessary, so no consent is needed.
What we store on your device
| Name | Who sets it | What it does | How long | Kind |
|---|---|---|---|---|
__Host-plintus_session |
plintus (app.plintus.ai) | Keeps you signed in. It holds a random id, not your data. HttpOnly, Secure, SameSite=Lax | 30 days since last use, or until you log out | Cookie |
__Host-plintus_guest |
plintus (app.plintus.ai) | Ties a guest’s uploads to one browser, so a guest keeps their work for 7 days and can sign in later without losing it. Also counts the one free scan per visitor | 7 days | Cookie |
Auth0 login cookies (for example auth0, did) |
Auth0, on auth.plintus.ai | Run the sign-in step and keep it safe | Short. They end with the sign-in step or after a few days | Cookie |
| Stripe Checkout cookies | Stripe, on checkout.stripe.com | Run the payment page and fight fraud. They exist only on Stripe’s page, when you pay | Set by Stripe | Cookie |
plintus.prefs |
plintus | Remembers the choices you make: language, units (metric), light or dark theme, the Details switch | 1 year | Local storage |
| Edit queue and drafts | plintus | Keeps edits you made while your connection was down, and sends them later, so no edits are lost | Until sent | Local storage or IndexedDB |
| Cached app files | plintus | Makes the app start fast and work on a weak connection | Until a new version | Browser cache |
The names of __Host-plintus_guest and plintus.prefs are our working names. The app lane sets the final names. If a name changes, this table changes with it.
What we do not use
- No advertising or retargeting cookies.
- No analytics cookies. Umami counts without them.
- No social media buttons or embedded videos that load other companies’ trackers.
- No fingerprinting.
- No session replay.
After you leave plintus
When you press a buy link, you go to a store’s site. Stores and their partner networks set their own cookies there. They have their own notices, and they ask you for consent where the law says so. See affiliate-disclosure.md.
How to remove them
Delete cookies and site data in your browser settings. If you delete __Host-plintus_session, you are signed out. If you delete __Host-plintus_guest, a guest loses access to their guest work.
If this changes
If we ever add a cookie that is not strictly necessary, we add a banner that asks you first, with “Accept” and “Reject” at equal weight, and nothing set before you choose. We update this notice first.
