Cookies
Last updated July 2026
StudiesSprint sets one cookie, and it exists purely to keep you signed in. There is no analytics, no advertising, and nothing that follows you to other sites — which is why you never see a consent banner here.
The one cookie
| Name | Purpose | Expires |
|---|---|---|
| ss_session | Keeps you signed in. Holds a signed token identifying your account — no personal details are stored in the cookie itself. | 7 days |
It is httpOnly, so scripts running in the page can't read it, and it is sent only to StudiesSprint. Blocking it means you cannot stay signed in — everything else on the site still works.
Why there's no banner
UK and EU rules require consent for cookies that aren't strictly necessary. Ours is strictly necessary — without it there is no way to know you are signed in — so consent isn't required and asking for it would be theatre.
If we ever add analytics or anything that tracks you, this page changes first and you get a real choice, defaulted to off.
Local storage
The newsletter box in the footer remembers the address you typed, in your own browser's local storage under ss_newsletter. It stays on your device. Clearing your browser data removes it.
Third parties
Paying takes you to Stripe's own checkout page, which sets its own cookies under Stripe's policy — needed to process the payment and prevent fraud. We don't embed Stripe scripts on our pages, so no Stripe cookies are set until you actually go there.
