Cookie Policy

A cookie is a small piece of text a website asks your browser to keep and send back on the next request. It is what lets a website recognise that two requests came from the same person — which is the only way “you are signed in” can mean anything at all.

Giulia is the Best Pawrent Ever - Her Babies Tracker uses six, and every one of them exists to make a feature you asked for work. We counted them by reading the code that sets them, not by guessing, and the list below is complete — the test that ships with this page derives the same count from the source code directly, so this page cannot quietly fall out of date with what the application actually does.

What you get instead is a notice: one line, the first time you visit, telling you what the cookies do, with a link to this page. You can dismiss it. Dismissing it does not set a cookie — that would be a joke at our own expense — it stores a flag in your browser, described further down.

If we ever add something that genuinely is optional, you will be asked properly, before it runs. See the last section but two.

That is all six. If you find a cookie on a Giulia is the Best Pawrent Ever - Her Babies Tracker page that is not on this list, please tell us — that would be a bug, and we would want to know today.

For anyone who wants the technical shape of them:

• All six are first-party — set by Giulia is the Best Pawrent Ever - Her Babies Tracker, sent only to Giulia is the Best Pawrent Ever - Her Babies Tracker.
• All are SameSite=Lax, so they are not sent along with requests started by another website.
• All are Secure in production, so they travel only over an encrypted connection.
• Five of the six are HttpOnly: script on the page cannot read them, which is what stops a cross-site scripting bug from becoming a stolen session. The exception is duquesa_imp_hint, which is readable on purpose and, as above, carries no authority.
• The four that identify something — duquesa_session, duquesa_profile, duquesa_impersonation and duquesa_legacy_session — are signed. A tampered value fails its check and is treated as absent rather than trusted. The other two are not signed, because neither carries a claim that has to survive tampering: duquesa_imp_hint is discarded the moment it disagrees with the real check elsewhere, and duquesa_paywall only ever means “assume the worst until the server confirms otherwise” — the server confirms it independently every time regardless of what the cookie says.

Two things are kept in your browser’s local storage rather than in a cookie. Local storage is never sent to us — it stays on your device and we cannot read it from the server.

• duquesa-theme — whether you chose the light or the dark appearance. Set only if you use the theme switch; without it, Giulia is the Best Pawrent Ever - Her Babies Tracker simply follows your device’s own setting.
• A flag recording that you dismissed the cookie notice, so it does not reappear on every visit.

Clearing your browser’s site data removes both. Nothing breaks; the theme reverts to your device setting and the notice appears once more.

Paying happens on Stripe’s own pages, not ours. You are sent there, you pay, and you are sent back. No Stripe script runs on any Giulia is the Best Pawrent Ever - Her Babies Tracker page, and Stripe sets no cookie on our domain.

While you are on Stripe’s pages you are on Stripe’s site, under Stripe’s cookie notice and privacy policy. This arrangement is also why card details never touch our servers — see the Privacy Policy.

Stated positively, so it can be checked:

• No analytics of any kind — not our own, not anyone else’s.
• No advertising cookies, no advertising identifiers, no remarketing tags.
• No tracking pixels, no session recording, no heatmaps, no fingerprinting.
• No social media buttons or embeds.
• No support-chat widget.
• No third-party fonts, scripts or stylesheets on any page — Giulia is the Best Pawrent Ever - Her Babies Tracker uses fonts already on your device, partly for speed and partly because loading a font from someone else’s server tells them you were here.

You can verify all of this yourself: open your browser’s developer tools on any Giulia is the Best Pawrent Ever - Her Babies Tracker page, look at the network requests and the cookie list, and compare them with this page.

You can block or delete cookies in your browser’s settings. We will be direct about the consequence: if you block Giulia is the Best Pawrent Ever - Her Babies Tracker’s cookies you cannot sign in, because staying signed in is exactly what the session cookie does. There is no version of the app that works without it.

Blocking only duquesa_profile is harmless; the app will simply ask which profile you mean instead of remembering.

Signing out deletes the session cookie. Clearing site data in your browser removes everything on this page at once.

If we ever want to add something non-essential — an analytics tool, for instance — we will ask you first, with a real choice, before it runs, and refusing will be as easy as agreeing and will not degrade the service. The mechanism for doing that is already built and deliberately switched off, so that adding it is a decision rather than a rebuild.

The table on this page changes before any such cookie is set, not afterwards, and the date at the top changes with it.
