What cookies are
A cookie is a small value that a website stores in your browser and receives with later requests. This policy covers the Stowspace website. The Windows and Android apps store local settings that are not controlled by browser cookie settings.
Cookies Stowspace uses
Sign-in sessions
Supabase authentication cookies keep you signed in, refresh your session, and identify you to account pages and protected API routes. Cookie names depend on the configured Supabase project and may be split into several chunks. Account features need these cookies.
Google signup state
Stowspace briefly stores a stowspace_oauth_signup cookie when you start Google signup. It tells the callback that you are creating an account rather than signing in, so signup and legal consent can finish correctly. Stowspace clears it after the callback or when the flow fails.
Security checks
Security services may use short-lived browser storage or cookies to verify selected forms and prevent abuse. Stowspace does not use these values for advertising or cross-site profiling.
Optional website analytics
With your permission, Stowspace loads Google Analytics 4 to measure public page views and a small set of product actions, such as Windows downloads, store-link clicks, signup starts, and checkout starts. Stowspace does not send your account identifier, email address, saved content, search terms, or URL query strings to Google Analytics.
Google Analytics may set _ga and _ga_*cookies to distinguish browsers and measure visits. Advertising storage, advertising personalization, Google Signals, and user-ID collection remain disabled. No Google Analytics tag or request is loaded before you accept analytics.
Service providers
Supabase manages sign-in sessions. Cloudflare Turnstile may process browser and network signals on selected authentication forms. Google Analytics processes optional website measurement only after consent. The Privacy Policy and Subprocessors page explain their roles in more detail.
Your controls
You can delete or block cookies in your browser. Blocking sign-in or security cookies can stop login, signup, account management, billing, and other connected features from working. The free local Windows library does not require a website sign-in.
Use Cookie Settingsin the website footer to accept, reject, or change analytics permission. Withdrawing permission stops future measurement and removes Stowspace's Google Analytics cookies from the browser. Your choice is stored locally with this policy's version and is requested again when the policy version changes.
Changes and contact
Stowspace will update this policy if its browser storage practices materially change. Send questions to [email protected].
