Cookies
The short version
programmable.page doesn't use advertising or analytics cookies, or anything that tracks you across other sites, so there is no cookie banner. The only cookies we set keep people signed in. The pages businesses send you set none at all.
What we set
| Name | What it's for | How long | Kind |
|---|---|---|---|
pb_session | Keeps you signed in to the app. Holds a random token; the session it names is stored on our server. | 30 days after you last used it, or until you sign out | Strictly necessary |
pb_oidc | Ties a sign-in through the shared Programmable sign-in to this browser, so it can't be hijacked. | 10 minutes | Strictly necessary |
pb_admin | Signs in the people who run the Service to its operator console. Never set for anyone else. | 12 hours | Strictly necessary |
pb:theme, pb:lastWorkspace, pb:workspaceLook | Browser storage (not cookies) in the app: light or dark, the workspace you opened last, and whether the app wears your brand. | Until you clear it | Functional |
pb.draft.*, pb.outbox | Browser storage in the app: what you were typing, and actions waiting for a connection when you're offline. Stays on your device. | Until sent, or you clear it | Functional |
Pages you receive
Pages are shown from a separate site, programmable.onl, inside a sandbox that has no cookies or storage of any kind. Nothing there can remember you between visits.
Other companies' cookies
- Paying. When you pay from a page, or a business pays for Pro, it happens on Stripe's checkout page, and pages with a Pay button the business added load Stripe's own buttons. Stripe uses its cookies to prevent fraud, under its own policy.
- Network protection. Cloudflare, which protects and delivers our pages, may set a strictly necessary cookie (such as
__cf_bm) to tell people from bots. It identifies no one.
Our own pages and the app use fonts from our own servers, so your browser doesn't contact Google to show them.
Your choices
Your browser's settings can delete or block any cookie or stored data. Blocking pb_session stops you signing in to the app; opening, answering and paying from pages works without cookies. More in the Privacy Policy, or write to [email protected].
