Cookie Policy
The short version
StudentStack sets no cookies of its own, uses no advertising or tracking cookies, and does not need a cookie banner: nothing on the site tracks you, and the only things stored in your browser are two small convenience values that never leave your device. This page lists everything, so you can check.
What is stored in your browser
| Name | Type | Purpose | How long |
|---|---|---|---|
ss-bar-dismissed | Local storage | Remembers that you closed that bar, so it stays closed | Until you clear your browser data |
That is the whole list. The value contains no personal information, is never sent to us or anyone else, and the site works without it. (Whether to show that bar at all is decided from the page you arrived from, which the browser already knows; nothing about which pages you read is written to your device.)
Cookies our host may set
The site is served by Cloudflare. To protect the site from automated abuse, Cloudflare may set strictly necessary security cookies on some requests (for example __cf_bm). These are used only to keep the site up and are exempt from consent rules as strictly necessary. Cloudflare Web Analytics, which we use for visitor counts, is cookieless and stores nothing on your device.
If you ever use the checkout
Nothing is for sale today. If we ever enable a purchase, opening the checkout page would load PayPal's payment buttons, and PayPal sets its own cookies for fraud prevention under PayPal's cookie policy. That happens only on that page and only when a live offer exists.
Other companies' sites
Every deal links to the company's own website. Those sites set their own cookies under their own policies, and affiliate links may let a company know you arrived from StudentStack.
Our promise
If we ever add a cookie or storage that tracks or identifies you, we will ask for your consent first and update this page before it goes live.
