Cookie Policy
Last updated
This policy explains how Rebase uses cookies and similar browser storage. Our approach is deliberately minimal.
1. The widget is cookieless
The Rebase widget and API do not use cookies. Authentication is handled with short-lived tokens kept in your browser’s local storage on the device you sign in from — not cookies — and the API is stateless. This means embedding the widget does not add tracking cookies to your site. The interactive demo on our demo page loads the real widget, which behaves the same way.
2. What we store, and why
- Essential local storage (widget): authentication and session tokens and lightweight UI state, so you stay signed in and the widget behaves correctly. Strictly necessary for the service to function.
- Widget usage analytics (session storage): a session-scoped anonymous identifier used for product analytics while you use the widget, cleared when the tab closes. When you are signed in, product events are associated with your account — see the Privacy Policy.
- Your consent choice (rebase.dev): the choice you make in our cookie banner is itself stored in a first-party cookie and local storage (
rebase_cookie_consent, kept for 12 months) so we don’t re-ask on every visit. Strictly necessary. - Analytics identifier (rebase.dev): with your consent, a first-party anonymous identifier in local storage used for our own visit analytics, described below.
3. Analytics
With your consent, our marketing website uses Google Analytics — which sets its own cookies (such as _ga) and acts as a third-party processor, see our Subprocessors page — and our own first-party analytics, which sends anonymous usage events (page views, clicks on key actions) to our API so we hold our own copy of how the site is used. Neither loads without your consent, wherever you are — not just in the UK and EEA — and you can change or withdraw your choice at any time via “Cookie settings” in the footer.
4. No advertising or cross-site tracking
We do not use cookies for advertising, ad targeting, or selling data, and we do not embed third-party advertising trackers.
5. Managing storage
You can clear cookies and local storage at any time through your browser settings. Clearing the widget’s storage will sign you out and reset widget UI state.
6. Changes & contact
If our use of cookies or local storage changes, we’ll update this page. Questions? Email [email protected]. See also our Privacy Policy.
