Cookie Policy
How HookWatch uses cookies and similar browser storage. Short, because there is very little to disclose.
Last updated: 6 July 2026
What cookies are
Cookies are small files a site stores in your browser. Sites also use similar technologies such as local storage. They can keep you signed in, remember preferences, or — on many sites, though not this one — track usage.
How HookWatch uses cookies
Essential cookies
These are required for the dashboard to work — chiefly your authentication session. Without them you cannot stay signed in. They are set by HookWatch (via better-auth), not a third party.
Analytics cookies
Not currently used. If we add product analytics in future, we will name the provider here and add consent controls where required before doing so.
Preference cookies
We may store non-essential preferences (such as your light/dark theme choice) in your browser. These are not used to track you across sites.
Third-party cookies
The marketing site and dashboard do not embed third-party trackers. Third-party services you connect to HookWatch set their own cookies under their own policies, not ours.
Cookies we set
| Name | Provider | Purpose | Type | Duration | Required? |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| better-auth.session_token | HookWatch (better-auth) | Keeps you signed in to the dashboard and secures your session. | Essential / session | 7 days (refreshed on activity) | Yes |
| Theme / UI preference | HookWatch | Remembers preferences such as your light/dark theme choice. | Preference (cookie or local storage) | Persistent until cleared | No |
Managing cookies
You can clear or block cookies in your browser settings. Blocking essential cookies will stop you being able to sign in to the dashboard.

This page will be updated if our cookie usage changes. See the “Last updated” date above.
