1What cookies are
A cookie is a small piece of text that a website asks your browser to keep, and that your browser sends back to the same website with later requests. That is how a website remembers, for example, that you have signed in. Some cookies last only until you close your browser; others last until a set date.
2The cookies we set
cueboss.co sets three cookies, all of them needed for the website to work, and only on the pages that need them. The home page and these policy pages set none.
| Cookie | What it does | When it is set | How long it lasts |
|---|---|---|---|
sessionid |
Keeps you signed in. It holds a random key that points to your session on our server, not your details. | When you sign in, and partway through signing up, signing in with Google or resetting your password, so the website can finish the process | 2 weeks, or, if you sign in with your password and leave “Keep me signed in” unticked, until you close your browser. Signing out removes it. |
csrftoken |
Protects our forms from cross-site request forgery: it lets us check that a form was sent from our own page, not from another website acting in your name. | When you open a page with a form, such as signing in or creating an account | 52 weeks |
messages |
Carries a one-time notice to the next page, such as confirming that you have signed in. | Only when there is a notice to show you on the next page | Until the notice is shown, which removes it, or until you close your browser |
All three are sent only over encrypted (HTTPS) connections, and your browser does not send
them when another website loads something from ours. Scripts on a page cannot read
sessionid or messages.
3What we don’t use
No analytics cookies, no advertising cookies, no tracking pixels, and no cookies from anyone else on cueboss.co. The website runs no scripts, so it keeps nothing in your browser’s local storage either.
4Signing in with Google
If you choose to sign in with Google, your browser goes to Google’s own pages for that step. Those pages set and read Google’s cookies, under Google’s cookie policy. cueboss.co sets no Google cookies, and we can’t see Google’s.
5The CueBoss app
The app doesn’t use cookies to talk to us. When it checks for updates it sends no cookie and nothing that identifies you or your account. What it remembers between sessions, such as your settings, stays on your computer.
6Why we don’t ask for consent
The law in the EU and the UK requires a website to ask before it sets a cookie, except for cookies that are strictly necessary to provide something you asked for. All three of ours are in that group, which is why cueboss.co shows no cookie banner. If we ever add a cookie that isn’t strictly necessary, we will ask you first and update this policy.
7Controlling cookies
Your browser’s settings let you see, delete and block cookies, for every website or for
cueboss.co alone. If you block ours, you can still read the website, but you won’t be able to
sign in or send its forms. Deleting sessionid signs you out.
8Changes to this policy
If the cookies we set change, we will update this page, and the date and version at the top of it.
