Cookie policy
Last updated 19 August 2026. What we use, why, and how to control it.
1. What cookies are
Cookies are small text files a website stores on your device to remember information between visits, such as whether you're logged in. Similar technologies include local storage and session storage, which we refer to collectively as "cookies" in this policy for simplicity.
2. Cookies on this marketing website
This website (the one you're reading now) uses only strictly necessary cookies required for basic functionality, and does not currently set any analytics, advertising, or cross-site tracking cookies. We don't run third-party ad networks or tracking pixels here.
If that ever changes, for example by adding privacy-respecting analytics to understand which pages are useful, we will update this policy first and provide a way to opt out where required by law.
3. Cookies in the Kistkeep application
The Kistkeep web application (app.kistkeep.com, or your Herd development URL) is a separate service from this marketing site, and uses cookies that are strictly necessary for it to function: a secure, encrypted session cookie that keeps you signed in, and a CSRF-protection cookie that guards against cross-site request forgery attacks. Neither is used for advertising or cross-site tracking.
We also store a small number of local preferences in your browser's local storage, not a cookie, such as your light/dark theme choice, purely to remember your preference on your own device.
4. Payment processing cookies
When you subscribe to a paid plan, our payment processor Stripe may set its own cookies during the checkout flow, for fraud prevention and to process your payment securely. These are governed by Stripe's own privacy and cookie practices, not ours; see stripe.com/privacy for details.
5. How long cookies last
Session cookies (like the app login cookie) are deleted automatically when you close your browser, or expire after a period of inactivity for security. We don't set long-lived tracking cookies on this marketing site.
6. Managing cookies
Because this marketing site sets no non-essential cookies, there's nothing to opt out of here. For the Kistkeep application, the session cookie is required for the service to work; disabling it in your browser will simply log you out. You can control or delete cookies at any time through your browser's settings, most browsers let you view, block, or delete cookies on a per-site basis.
7. Do Not Track
Since we don't set tracking cookies on this site in the first place, we don't currently process browser "Do Not Track" signals differently, there's nothing being tracked to stop.
8. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy if our use of cookies changes. Material changes will be reflected here with an updated date, and where legally required, we'll notify you separately.
