Cookie policy
A cookie is a small piece of text that a website asks your browser to keep and send back on later visits. SaltBrite sets six, and none of them follow you around other sites. This page lists them, and the outside services that set their own.
Cookies we set
| Name | What it does | How long it lasts |
|---|---|---|
saltbrite.auth |
Keeps you signed in. It's set when you log in or verify your email, and removed when you log out. | 30 days, extended each time you visit, when "Remember me" is ticked at login. Otherwise until you close the browser. |
.AspNetCore.Antiforgery.* |
Stops another site from submitting one of our forms on your behalf. Set by any page with a form on it. | Until you close the browser. |
saltbrite-units |
Remembers whether you chose centimetres or feet and inches on the model profile form. Set the first time you open that form. | One year. |
saltbrite-weight |
Remembers whether you chose kilograms, pounds or stone on the same form. Set the first time you open it. | One year. |
saltbrite-culture |
Remembers whether you picked UK or US English with the switch at the foot of the page. Set only when you use the switch. | One year. |
saltbrite-consent |
Remembers whether you pressed Accept or Reject on the cookie banner, so the banner isn't shown again. Set when you press either button. | One year. |
.AspNetCore.Correlation.Google |
Ties Google's answer to the sign-in you started, so a forged answer can't sign you in. Set only when you press Continue with Google. | A few minutes. |
saltbrite.external |
Holds what Google told us for the moment between Google sending you back and the site reading it. Removed the instant it's read. | Ten minutes at most. |
saltbrite.google-join |
Carries your Google email and name to the Finish joining page when you're new. Removed once your account is made. | Fifteen minutes. |
The first two are needed for the site to work, so there's no way to turn them off and still log in. The next three are a convenience. If you block them, the units and the spelling follow your browser's language. The consent one only records your answer to the cookie banner. Block it and the banner comes back on every page. The last three exist only while you're signing in or joining with Google, and only if you choose to.
One more thing lives in your browser but isn't a cookie: the light or dark theme you pick with the toggle in the header or footer is kept in your browser's local storage under saltbrite-theme. It's never sent to us. If you answer "Not now" when a conversation offers notifications, that's remembered the same way, under saltbrite-push-dismissed, so we don't ask again on that device. Ticking "Press Return to send" under the message box is kept there too, under saltbrite-enter-sends. And if you turn notifications on, your browser installs a small script from us (a service worker) whose only job is to show them; it stores nothing.
Cookies set by others
Google Analytics. The live site uses Google Analytics to count visits and see which pages get used. The cookie banner records your answer but does not change whether Google Analytics runs. Google Analytics sets cookies named _ga and _ga_ followed by an ID, which last two years and give your browser a random number so that a repeat visit can be told from a new one. Google's own cookie page has the detail.
Cloudflare Turnstile. The join form and the contact form carry a Cloudflare check that tells people from scripts. It runs in a frame from challenges.cloudflare.com, and Cloudflare may set cookies of its own there to complete the check. SaltBrite can't read them.
Cloudflare, for photos. Photos are served from our photo domain, sltbrt.com, through Cloudflare's network. Cloudflare can set cookies on that domain for security. We don't set any there ourselves.
The fonts come from Google Fonts. That sends your IP address to Google when a page loads, but sets no cookie.
Controlling cookies
Every browser lets you see, block and delete cookies, usually under Privacy or Site settings. Blocking all cookies for saltbrite.com means you can't log in. To keep Google Analytics from counting you on any site, Google offers a browser add-on.
Changes
If the site starts setting a new cookie, or a listed one changes, this page changes with it. The date at the top says when it was last touched. Our privacy policy says what we do with the rest of your data.
