Cookie policy

We set one cookie. It keeps you signed in. That's the whole policy, but here it is properly.

Last updated 12 August 2026

01The banner, and what it actually controls

The banner asks about one thing: whether we may count page views. Say no and the analytics script is never loaded, not loaded-but-ignored. Our analytics are cookieless either way; they store nothing on your device, and we run no advertising and no cross-site tracking. The single cookie that keeps you signed in is strictly necessary for a service you asked for, so it isn't part of the choice and declining doesn't switch it off.

Your answer is remembered in your browser's local storage rather than in a cookie, which is why saying yes or no doesn't itself add one to the list below. You can change it here, whenever you like:

Checking your current choice…

02The cookie

Name	Purpose	Lasts	Type
khan_session	Keeps you signed in. It holds an opaque, random token, not your identity, and nothing readable about you.	30 days, or until you sign out	Strictly necessary. First-party.

It's marked HTTP-only, so JavaScript can't read it; SameSite=Lax, so it isn't sent from other sites; and Secure in production, so it only travels over HTTPS.

03What we don’t use

No Google Analytics. No advertising or retargeting pixels. No social media trackers. No session recording or heatmaps. No fingerprinting. Nothing that follows you to another site, and nothing that builds a profile of you.

04Controlling it

Sign out and the cookie is cleared. You can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings, but since this one is what keeps you signed in, blocking it means you can't stay signed in. The public site works fine without it.

05If this changes

If we ever add something that sets a non-essential cookie, we'll update this page and ask for your consent first: properly, with a real choice, rather than a banner engineered to be accepted. Questions: hello@khanterminal.com.
