Cookies and browser storage
HivePost uses only what it needs to work: one sign-in cookie and a few items in your browser's storage. None of them track you on other sites or are used for ads. That's why there is no cookie banner.
What we store in your browser
| Name | Type | Why | How long |
|---|---|---|---|
sb-skeqipcjzfrlefxbeomn-auth-token (may be split into …-auth-token.0, …-auth-token.1) | Cookie set by hivepost.app; page scripts can't read it (httpOnly, Secure, SameSite=Lax) | Keeps you signed in and secure | Until you sign out; at most 400 days |
sb-skeqipcjzfrlefxbeomn-auth-token-code-verifier | Cookie set by hivepost.app, like the one above | Makes sure the link in a sign-up, password or email change email signs in only the browser that asked for it | Until the link is used; at most 400 days |
hivepost:try-draft | Browser storage (localStorage) | Keeps the post you wrote before making an account, so it is still there after you sign up | Until you sign up or clear it |
hivepost:install-dismissed | Browser storage (localStorage) | Remembers that you closed the “Install the app” note | Until you clear your browser data |
| App files for offline use | Browser cache (service worker) | Lets the installed app open and show an offline page | Until the next app update or you clear it |
| Push subscription | Browser | Only if you allow notifications: lets us send alerts to this device | Until you turn notifications off |
These are strictly necessary for a service you asked for, so the law lets us use them without asking first (ePrivacy Directive art. 5(3); Romanian Law 506/2004, art. 4).
Link-in-bio pages set no cookies and store nothing in visitors' browsers. Visits and clicks are counted on our server without storing IP addresses.
What we don't use
- No advertising cookies. We don't show ads or sell data.
- No tracking across sites: no Facebook pixel, no Google Analytics.
- No screen or keystroke recording.
- No outside fonts: our fonts load from our own servers.
Other companies' cookies
Some steps take you to another company's page, which sets its own cookies under its own policy:
- Stripe, when you pay or manage your card (fraud prevention).
- The social networks and Google, when you connect an account or sign in on their page.
Your choices
You can delete or block cookies and site data in your browser settings. If you block ours, you can't stay signed in to HivePost; the public website still works.
If we ever add optional cookies, for example to measure which pages are useful, we will ask first and you can say no without losing anything.
