Cookie Policy
Last updated: 15 October 2026
Cookies We Use
Every cookie here is set by this site, is httpOnly (the page's own scripts cannot read it) and is only sent back to us. Where a name has <company> in it, that part is your company's page address, so each company's page gets its own cookie.
On your company's page
showcase_unlock_<company>
Set when you type your company's page password, so you do not have to type it on every visit. It holds a hash, never the password.
Lasts: 90 days, renewed on each visit · Strictly necessary: Yes
us_approver_<company>
Set when you add your name to approve cards, so your decisions stay under your name when you come back.
Lasts: 400 days · Strictly necessary: Yes
us-prospect
Set when a company starts an order on our sign-up page, so the later steps can only act on the company that browser created. The sign-up page is not open to the public yet.
Lasts: 7 days · Strictly necessary: Yes
When you sign in with Google
Signing in is optional, and the password link works without it. These are only set if you choose it.
__Secure-authjs.session-token
Keeps you signed in. Encrypted; it holds your account ID and the name and email address Google sent us. Not your picture. Deleted when you sign out.
Lasts: 30 days · Strictly necessary: Yes
__Host-authjs.csrf-token
Stops another site from signing you in or out without you asking.
Lasts: Until you close your browser · Strictly necessary: Yes
__Secure-authjs.callback-url
Remembers which page to bring you back to after Google.
Lasts: Until you close your browser · Strictly necessary: Yes
__Secure-authjs.pkce.code_verifier
A one-off check that the answer coming back from Google belongs to the sign-in you started.
Lasts: 15 minutes · Strictly necessary: Yes
Our own team only
Customers never get these. They are listed so the page is complete.
unicorn-auth
Keeps our own team signed in to the admin side of the site (httpOnly, signed).
Lasts: 30 days · Strictly necessary: Yes
us_view_as_act
Lets one of our team make changes on a customer's page while on a call with them, recorded under our name and not the customer's.
Lasts: 2 hours · Strictly necessary: Yes
Stored in your browser, not cookies
A few pages also keep small notes in your browser's own storage. These never leave your device and we cannot read them. Our admin pages keep a few working notes in our own team's browsers too. Customers never get these.
us:meet:<company>:section
us:walk:<company>:step
Puts you back on the section or step you were last reading.
Lasts: Until you clear it · Strictly necessary: Yes
us:pack-opening:<company>:seen
us:open-first:<company>
Remembers that you have already opened your pack, so the page does not make you open it again.
Lasts: Until you clear it · Strictly necessary: Yes
Third-Party Cookies
We set no third-party cookies and run no advertising or tracking technologies. We do use Vercel Analytics, which counts page views without setting a cookie and without building a profile of you. If you sign in with Google, Google sets its own cookies on its own sign-in pages; its privacy policy covers those.
Consent
Under the UK Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR), cookies and other notes stored in your browser that are strictly necessary for something you asked for do not need consent. Every cookie and stored item on this page is one of those, which is why there is no cookie banner.
Managing Cookies
You can delete cookies at any time through your browser settings. Deleting the password cookie means typing your company's page password again. Deleting the Google cookies signs you out, and signing out from the approval page deletes the session cookie for you.
