Cookie Policy
This Cookie Policy explains how EtchwpKits (etchwpkits.com) uses cookies and similar technologies, such as your browser's local storage.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help websites function properly, remember your preferences, and provide analytics data.
Browser storage (local storage and session storage) is a similar technology: a website keeps small pieces of information on your device. Unlike a cookie, it is not sent to the website with every request. Session storage is cleared when you close the browser tab; local storage stays until it is removed or you clear your site data.
2. Cookies and Browser Storage We Use
We set no cookies of our own. What the Website needs to remember is kept in your browser's storage, only for the Website to work, and is never used for advertising or to follow you across other websites.
2.1 Essential Storage (First-Party)
These items are necessary for the features they belong to. Most are only stored once you use that feature.
| Name | Purpose | Stored |
|---|---|---|
| sb-…-auth-token | Keeps you signed in to your account (set by Supabase, our sign-in provider) | Local storage, until you sign out |
| cookie-consent | Remembers that you have seen the cookie notice | Local storage, until you clear your site data |
| sidebar-state | Remembers which filter groups you opened in the Library | Local storage, until you clear your site data |
| etchwpkits: | Restores your Library search, filters and scroll position when you go back | Session storage, until you close the tab |
| isNewSignup, newUserEmail | Shows the welcome message once after you sign up | Session storage, removed once shown or when you close the tab |
2.2 Analytics
We count visits with Cloudflare Web Analytics, provided by our hosting platform, to understand how visitors use the Website. It:
- Does not use cookies or browser storage
- Does not identify you personally or follow you across other websites
- Reports aggregated data only
- Helps us improve the user experience
Data that may be collected:
- Pages visited and the referring page
- General location (country level)
- Device type and browser
- Page load performance
2.3 Shared Client Links
When an agency shares a page with you through an EtchwpKits link, that page remembers the following on your device for that link only:
| Name | Purpose | Stored |
|---|---|---|
| ewk-session: | Keeps a password protected link open without asking for the password again | Local storage, until the link's session expires |
| ewk-comment-name | The name you leave comments under | Local storage, until you clear your site data |
| ewk-seen-version: | Which version you last saw, and that you have seen the welcome, so neither shows again | Local storage, until you clear your site data |
3. Third-Party Services
3.1 Authentication (Supabase)
Our sign-in is powered by Supabase. Your session is kept in your browser's local storage (see section 2.1), not in a cookie.
For details, see Supabase Privacy Policy.
3.2 Payment Processing (Stripe)
Payments take place on Stripe's own checkout page, which opens in a new tab. Stripe may set cookies there, on its own domain, for:
- Payment processing and fraud prevention
- Session management during checkout
These cookies are only set when you start a payment, and never on etchwpkits.com.
For details, see Stripe's Cookie Policy.
3.3 Hosting (Cloudflare Pages)
Our Website is hosted on Cloudflare Pages, which also provides the visit counting described in section 2.2. Based on our inspection, the hosting platform sets no cookies on etchwpkits.com.
For details, see Cloudflare Privacy Policy.
4. Cookies We Do NOT Use
