01In short
Dots uses a handful of first-party cookies. The essential ones keep you signed in and remember your choices; they need no consent. Analytics cookies are set only if you accept them. There are no third-party advertising cookies.
Without consent, we still count page views — anonymously, with no cookie and no identifier.
02Essential cookies
Strictly necessary for the site and the app to work. They are exempt from consent.
| Name | What it does | Lifetime |
|---|---|---|
sid | Keeps you signed in. Each space has its own session cookie, limited to its path (e.g. /claude). | 14 days |
pending | Remembers a sign-up in progress until you confirm your e-mail address. | 1 hour |
lang | Remembers the language of the interface. | 12 months |
dots_consent | Remembers your cookie choice, so we do not ask again on every page. | 6 months |
03Analytics cookies (only with your consent)
| Name | What it does | Lifetime |
|---|---|---|
dots_vid | A random visitor identifier, to measure navigation across visits, the sign-up and payment funnel, and which campaign brought you
(utm_*, gclid, fbclid). | 13 months at most |
dots_sid | A session identifier grouping the pages you view in one visit. | 30 minutes of inactivity |
Both are first-party cookies set by dotslabs.io; the data stays with us. Details in the privacy policy.
04Third parties
- Advertising: none today. If we add advertising or retargeting cookies later, they will be listed here and asked for before they are set.
- Stripe: when you pay, you are sent to Stripe’s checkout page, where Stripe sets its own cookies, notably to prevent fraud. They are governed by Stripe’s cookie policy.
- Google Fonts: our typefaces are loaded from Google’s servers. This sets no cookie, but Google receives your IP address.
05Your choice
Accepting and refusing are equally easy, and refusing does not limit anything on the site. You can change your mind at any time:
You can also delete cookies or block them in your browser settings. Blocking essential cookies will sign you out and prevent sign-in.
