Cookie Policy
How we use cookies on Echoed
The short version
We only use cookies for authentication. No tracking cookies. No advertising cookies. No analytics cookies. Just what's needed to keep you logged in.
Unlike most platforms that use dozens of cookies to track your behavior, show you ads, and sell your data — we use cookies for one purpose only: keeping you securely logged into your account.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that websites store on your device. They help websites remember information about your visit, like your login status or preferences.
There are two main types:
- Session Cookies: Temporary cookies that exist only while your browser is open. They're deleted when you close your browser.
- Persistent Cookies: Cookies that remain on your device for a set period of time or until you delete them.
Cookies we use
Echoed runs on its own native authentication. Here are the only cookies Echoed uses:
| Cookie Name | Purpose | Duration | Type |
|---|---|---|---|
a_session_[project_id] |
Stores your authentication session to keep you logged in. Contains an encrypted session token. | 1 year (or until logout) | Essential |
a_session_[project_id]_legacy |
Fallback session cookie for older browsers that don't support newer cookie attributes. | 1 year (or until logout) | Essential |
Cookie properties
Our authentication cookies are configured with the following security settings:
- HttpOnly: The cookie cannot be accessed by JavaScript, protecting against XSS attacks
- Secure: The cookie is only sent over HTTPS connections
- SameSite: Set to prevent cross-site request forgery (CSRF) attacks
- Path: Restricted to our application paths only
What we don't use
Unlike most platforms, we do not use:
- Advertising Cookies: We don't show ads, so we don't need to track you for advertisers
- Analytics Cookies: We don't use Google Analytics or similar tracking services
- Social Media Cookies: We don't embed social media trackers
- Third-Party Cookies: We don't allow third parties to set cookies through our platform
- Fingerprinting: We don't use browser fingerprinting techniques
Managing cookies
Since we only use essential authentication cookies, there's no cookie consent banner to deal with. These cookies are strictly necessary for the service to function.
Deleting cookies
You can delete our cookies at any time through your browser settings. Note that this will log you out of Echoed and you'll need to sign in again.
