What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help websites remember your preferences, keep you logged in, and understand how you use the site. This Cookie Policy explains what cookies ContactTh.is uses and why.

How We Use Cookies

ContactTh.is uses cookies primarily for essential functionality. We do not use cookies for advertising or third-party tracking. Our approach is privacy-first: we use only the cookies necessary to provide a secure, functional service.

Types of Cookies We Use

We categorize our cookies as follows:

Essential Cookies (Required)

These cookies are necessary for the Service to function and cannot be disabled. They include:

  • • Session cookies: Keep you logged in during your visit
  • • Authentication cookies: Securely identify you after login
  • • Security cookies: Protect against cross-site request forgery (CSRF) and other threats
  • • Preference cookies: Remember your settings (e.g., selected project, sidebar state)

Functional Cookies (Optional)

These cookies enhance your experience but are not strictly necessary:

  • • UI state cookies: Remember sidebar preferences, collapsed sections, or display options
  • • Feature cookies: Track whether you've seen onboarding tips or announcements

Analytics Cookies (Internal Only)

For users in our tester program, we may collect anonymous usage data to improve the Service. This data is processed internally and not shared with third parties. Regular users are not subject to analytics tracking beyond essential server logs.

Cookies We Do NOT Use

  • • Third-party advertising cookies
  • • Social media tracking cookies
  • • Cross-site tracking cookies
  • • Cookies that sell or share your data with advertisers

Third-Party Services

Some third-party services we use may set their own cookies:

  • • Stripe: May set cookies for payment processing and fraud prevention. See Stripe's Cookie Policy at stripe.com/cookies-policy
  • • Google Maps: May set cookies when loading map data. See Google's Cookie Policy

Cookie Duration

  • • Session cookies: Deleted when you close your browser
  • • Persistent cookies: Our authentication cookies last up to 30 days for convenience
  • • Preference cookies: Last up to 1 year or until you clear them

Managing Cookies

You can control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to: view what cookies are stored, delete cookies individually or all at once, block cookies from specific sites, and block all third-party cookies. Note that blocking essential cookies will prevent you from using ContactTh.is.

Browser-Specific Instructions

  • • Chrome: Settings → Privacy and Security → Cookies and other site data
  • • Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
  • • Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data
  • • Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions → Cookies and site data

Do Not Track

Some browsers have a "Do Not Track" feature. Since we do not engage in cross-site tracking or advertising, our Service operates the same regardless of this setting.

We may update this Cookie Policy to reflect changes in our practices or for legal reasons. We will post any changes on this page with an updated "Last updated" date.
