This Cookie Policy explains which cookies and browser storage the Hush website uses and why. It forms part of our Privacy Policy.
What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. Browser storage (localStorage and sessionStorage) works similarly and also keeps small pieces of information on your device.
Cookies and Storage We Use
We use only the cookies needed to keep you signed in and to remember your preferences. We do not use analytics, advertising or social media tracking cookies, and we do not let third parties set tracking cookies through our website.
Strictly Necessary
These let you sign in and use your account. They cannot be disabled.
| Name | Purpose | Lifetime |
|---|---|---|
better-auth.session_token (prefixed with __Secure- over HTTPS) | Keeps you signed in | 7 days, renewed while in use |
better-auth.session_data (prefixed with __Secure- over HTTPS) | Caches your sign-in state to avoid repeated checks | 5 minutes |
hush.pendingKnowledgeJoinCode (sessionStorage) | Holds the share code of a knowledge base you are joining until you sign in | Cleared when the tab closes |
Functional
These remember your preferences. Blocking or deleting them does not affect signing in; the site simply stops remembering your settings.
| Name | Purpose | Lifetime |
|---|---|---|
PARAGLIDE_LOCALE | Remembers your language | About 400 days |
sidebar_state | Remembers whether the account sidebar is expanded | 7 days |
theme (localStorage) | Remembers light or dark theme | Until you clear your browser data |
Managing Cookies
Most browsers let you manage cookies in their settings. You can:
- Delete cookies and site data from your device
- Block all or some cookies in your browser settings
- Ask your browser to notify you when it receives a cookie
Blocking strictly necessary cookies will prevent you from signing in.
Changes to This Policy
If we start using a new type of cookie (such as analytics cookies), we will update this policy and our Privacy Policy first, and update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page.
