Cookie policy
This is a draft under review and not yet in force.
Cookies are small files a website keeps in your browser. Browsers also offer other storage that works the same way for this purpose. This page lists everything sketch.house keeps in your browser, in two groups: essential, which the site needs to do what you ask and which is always on, and analytics, which is off unless you accept it.
Essential: always on
These do not need your consent, because without them the part of the site you are using cannot work.
| Name | What it is for | Kind | How long |
|---|---|---|---|
__Secure-better-auth.session_token | Keeps you signed in | Cookie, set when you sign in | 30 days after you last use the site, or until you sign out |
| Your projects | Keeps your drawing and the plan you uploaded in this browser when you use sketch.house without an account | Browser storage (IndexedDB) | Until you clear the site's data |
| A note that a project moved to your account | Remembers that the project from this browser was saved to your account, so it is not offered twice | Browser storage (localStorage) | Until you clear the site's data |
Your cookie choice (sketch-house:consent:v1) | Remembers whether you accepted analytics, so we do not ask on every page | Browser storage (localStorage), with the date of your choice | 12 months, then the banner asks again |
Analytics: only if you accept
Google Analytics helps us understand how people find and use the site. Its cookies are set only after you accept analytics in the cookie banner, and never before.
| Name | Set by | What it is for | How long |
|---|---|---|---|
_ga | Google Analytics | Tells one visitor's visits apart, without knowing who they are | 12 months |
_ga_<id> | Google Analytics | Keeps the state of the current visit | 12 months |
We also count visits with Cloudflare Web Analytics, which sets no cookie and keeps nothing in your browser.
Choosing
The first time you visit, a banner asks whether you accept analytics; refusing is as easy as accepting, and nothing optional runs until you choose. You can change your choice at any time from "Cookie settings" at the bottom of the site's pages, such as this one.
You can also delete cookies and site data in your browser's settings. Deleting this site's data signs you out, and removes any project you made without an account.
Changes
When we add or remove a cookie, this page changes first, with a new version number and date.
