What this covers
Cookies are small files a site stores in your browser. This policy covers those, and also the two other places we keep data in your browser — session storage and local storage — because from a privacy point of view what matters is not the mechanism but what is held and for how long.
It applies to our website, the web console, and the docs site. For the wider picture of what we collect, read the Privacy Policy.
Browser storage
| Key | Purpose | Lifetime |
|---|---|---|
| fp_tag | The device fingerprint the client sends alongside requests, matching the cookie of the same name. | Persistent, until you clear site data |
| onepasse_recent_searches, onepasse_search_filter | Your recent searches and last filter, so the console reopens where you left it. | Persistent, until you clear it or clear site data |
| cookie-notice | Remembers that you accepted the cookie notice, so it is shown only once. | Persistent, until you clear site data |
| UI preferences | Interface choices such as theme, sidebar state and dismissed hints. | Persistent, until you clear site data |
Locking your vault, signing out, or closing the browser clears the session-storage entries immediately. On a shared or public computer, lock or sign out when you finish — that is what the lock button is for.
No tracking, no ad tech
To be explicit about what is absent:
- No advertising or retargeting cookies, and no advertising network on any page.
- No third-party analytics or session-recording scripts.
- No social media tracking pixels or embedded like buttons.
- No cross-site identifiers, no fingerprinting for profiling, and no data brokers.
The one fingerprint we do compute is a device tag used purely to bind your session to your device. It is a security control, not a profiling tool, and it is not shared with anyone.
Our payment pages hand off to our payment processor, which sets its own cookies to complete a transaction and prevent fraud. Those cookies are governed by that provider's policy, and they appear only when you are actively paying.
Managing cookies
Every browser lets you view, block, and delete cookies and site data, usually under Privacy or Site settings. You are welcome to do so at any time.
- Clearing our cookies signs you out and ends your sessions on this browser.
- Clearing site data also removes your interface preferences and recent searches.
- Blocking cookies for this site entirely will prevent sign-in from working at all.
Nothing you clear touches your vault. Your data lives encrypted on our servers, and it comes back the next time you sign in and unlock.
Changes to this policy
If we ever add a cookie, this page changes first and the date at the top moves with it. Should we one day introduce anything that is not strictly necessary, we would ask for your consent before setting it — not after.
