This page lists every cookie that droidsender.com sets, on this site and in the dashboard, what each one is for and how long it lasts. Essential cookies make the site and the dashboard work and are always on. The statistics cookie is only set if you accept it. We do not use advertising cookies.
Essential cookies
These cookies are needed for signing in, for security and for remembering your choices. They cannot be turned off, and none of them is used for statistics or advertising.
| Cookie | What it is for | How long it lasts |
|---|---|---|
ds_consent | Remembers your cookie choice, so the banner does not appear on every page. | 13 months if you accept statistics, 6 months if you do not |
ds_consent_ads | Remembers your answer about advertising. No advertising runs today, so it only stores the answer. | 13 months if you accept any optional cookie, 6 months if you reject them all |
droidsender-language | Remembers the language you picked in the language menu. | 1 year |
ds2_at | Keeps you signed in to the dashboard. The page itself cannot read it. | 15 minutes, renewed while you use the dashboard |
ds2_rt | Renews your session without asking you to sign in again. It is only sent to the sign-in service. | 14 days |
ds2_sessao | Tells the site that you are signed in, so the menu shows Dashboard instead of Log in. It holds no credentials. | 14 days |
ds2_ajuda_tel | Opens the help chat on your phone while you install the app, after you scan the code shown on the computer. It only gives access to that conversation. | 3 hours |
ds_inst | Remembers that you just downloaded the Android app, so the install page shows the next step. | 1 hour |

Statistics cookie, only with your consent
| Cookie | What it is for | How long it lasts |
|---|---|---|
ds_vid | A random identifier that links your visits across days, so we can see how people find DroidSender, for example that someone first came from a search and created an account days later. Rejecting deletes it. | 13 months |
Without your consent we still count visits, but nothing is stored in your browser. A visitor is recognised only within the same day, from a code made from the IP address and the browser with a key that changes every day, and the IP address is not stored.
We work out the country of each visit from its IP address at the moment of the visit. Country data by IP Geolocation by DB-IP.
Advertising
We do not use advertising cookies or pixels today, and nothing is sold or shared. The cookie banner already asks about advertising, and ds_consent_ads only stores your answer. If we ever add an advertising pixel, it will be listed on this page before it is switched on, and it will only run if you said yes.
Other storage in your browser
The dashboard also keeps a few settings in your browser's local storage. Unlike cookies, they are not sent with every request, and none of them is used for statistics or advertising.
