A friendly guide to the tiny text files we use to keep Statusly running smoothly.
Think of cookies like the seasoning in a good dish — a little bit goes a long way, and we use them to make your experience tastier. We don't store anything sensitive or personal (like your credit card details) in these cookies; they're just here to help us serve you better.
In the simplest terms, a cookie is a small text file that a website stores on your device. It contains information about your visit so the website can remember things for you later.
When you log into Statusly or save your preferences, we use cookies to remember that you're you. When you come back, we don't have to ask you to sign in again. They are the invisible glue holding the internet together, keeping your sessions alive and your experience smooth.
We categorize our cookies into three main groups based on what they do. We respect your privacy, so we try to keep the "marketing" ones to a minimum and focus on the ones that actually help your servers stay happy.
If you ever feel like we've overdone the seasoning, you can always adjust your browser settings to reject or delete cookies.
We serve three kinds of cookies: the essential, the analytical, and the occasional treat.
These are the bare minimum. They make sure Statusly actually works. They handle your login sessions, remember your language settings, and keep you logged in while you browse. Without these, you wouldn't be able to use the platform at all.
We use these to understand how people use Statusly. Which features do you love? Where do you get stuck? This helps us improve the platform so it continues to be a joy to use. We use Google Analytics for this, but we don't track your personal browsing habits outside of our own site.
These are the occasional treats from our partners. They might be used to show you relevant ads or remember your choices across different websites. We keep these to a minimum and always respect your choice to opt-out.
