Cookies policy
Last updated 10 October 2026
This policy explains what cookies and similar storage Yellowtag uses on yellowtag.io, and how to change your choice. Read it with our Privacy Policy.
1. What cookies are
Cookies are small text files stored in your browser. We also use your browser’s local storage, which works in a similar way. We only set first-party cookies, from yellowtag.io itself.
2. Strictly necessary
These are needed for Yellowtag to work, so they cannot be switched off. Under UK rules (PECR) they do not need your consent.
| Name | Purpose | Lasts |
|---|---|---|
| yellowtag-session | Keeps you signed in as you use the app | Your session (up to 2 hours of inactivity, or longer if you chose to stay signed in) |
| XSRF-TOKEN | Protects your account against forged form submissions | Your session |
| yellowtag-cookie-consent (local storage) | Remembers your cookie choice, so we do not ask every time | Until you clear your browser data |
| Theme and display settings (local storage) | Remember your light or dark choice and your cost settings | Until you clear your browser data |
When you subscribe, Stripe’s own checkout and billing pages set their own cookies on stripe.com. Those are covered by Stripe’s cookie policy.
3. Optional: page speed measurement
If you choose Accept on the cookie banner, we use Sentry to measure how quickly pages load and how long requests take, so we can find and fix slow parts. This does not use advertising or cross-site tracking. If you choose Reject, or later withdraw your consent, we do not measure it.
Separately from this choice, Sentry also reports errors (what broke, and on which page). That is part of keeping the service working and secure, and is described in our Privacy Policy.
4. We do not use
We do not use advertising cookies, social media tracking or cross-site profiling.
5. Changing your choice
You can change your mind at any time with , here or in the footer of any page. You can also delete cookies in your browser settings, though Yellowtag will not be able to keep you signed in without the necessary ones.
