Cookie policy

Every cookie Austant sets, what it’s for and how long it lasts. There are only a few, and none of them are for advertising or analytics.

Last updated

The short version

  • We use cookies to keep you signed in, protect forms, and remember an affiliate referral.
  • No advertising cookies, no analytics, and nothing that tracks you across other websites.
  • Stripe sets its own cookies on its payment page to prevent fraud.

The full text below is what applies. If anything here is unclear, write to us and we’ll explain it.

What cookies areLink copied

Cookies are small text files a website stores in your browser. They let the site remember things between pages and visits, such as the fact that you’re signed in.

Cookies we useLink copied

Essential cookies are needed for Austant to work, so they can’t be switched off. Functional cookies make a feature work but aren’t needed to use the service.

Browser storageLink copied

Your browser’s local storage remembers whether you chose light or dark mode (austant-appearance). It stays in your browser, is never sent to us, and you can clear it at any time.

Third-party cookiesLink copied

When you add a card or pay, you do it on Stripe’s payment page, where Stripe sets cookies to process the payment and prevent fraud. Those cookies are covered by Stripe’s own privacy and cookie policies.

Our pages load the Instrument Sans typeface from Google Fonts. Google receives your IP address to deliver the font files, but doesn’t set cookies.

Your choicesLink copied

You can block or delete cookies in your browser’s settings. If you block essential cookies, you won’t be able to sign in to Austant. Blocking the referral cookie just means a referral won’t be credited.

Changes and contactLink copied

If we add or change cookies, we’ll update this page and the date at the top. Questions? Write to us at [email protected]. Our privacy policy explains how we handle personal data more generally.
