Cookie notice
Last updated 24 October 2026.
Very little. One cookie keeps you signed in, one remembers your choice, Google reCAPTCHA sets one where you sign in, and Stripe sets two on payment pages. Google Analytics runs only if you say yes.
Cookies, and things like them
A cookie is a small file a website keeps in your browser. Browsers also hold other kinds of storage that work the same way. This notice covers all of them.
Strictly necessary
These keep the site working as you asked. They are on for everyone and need no permission.
| Name | Set by | What it does | Lasts |
|---|---|---|---|
__session | notturno.studio | Keeps you signed in. Set only when you sign in. Scripts on the page cannot read it. | 14 days, or until you sign out |
nt_consent (browser storage) | notturno.studio | Remembers your cookie choice. | 13 months |
firebase:authUser:… (browser storage) | notturno.studio, through Firebase | Keeps your trips, the partner portal or the console signed in on this browser. | Until you sign out |
firebase-heartbeat-database (browser storage) | notturno.studio, through Firebase | Records which Firebase services this browser used, and on which days, and is sent with requests to them. Set only on the sign-in page and the pages behind it. | Until you clear your browser’s storage |
_GRECAPTCHA | Google reCAPTCHA | Checks that requests to your account and to Ocean come from a person at a browser, not a script. Set only on the sign-in page and the pages behind it. | 6 months |
firebase-app-check-database (browser storage) | notturno.studio, through Firebase | Holds the short pass reCAPTCHA issues, so the check is not repeated on every request. The pass expires within an hour. | Until you clear your browser’s storage |
__stripe_mid | Stripe, on notturno.studio | Helps prevent fraud on pages where you add a card or pay. | 1 year |
__stripe_sid | Stripe, on notturno.studio | As above, for a single visit. | 30 minutes |
When you sign in with Apple or Google, or pay on Stripe’s checkout page, those companies set their own cookies on their own sites, under their own notices.
Preferences you set
Your browser also remembers a few choices you make on the site: light or dark, notes you have closed, the tab you were on. They stay in your browser, are never sent to us, and last until you clear your browser’s storage.
Analytics, with your permission
If you accept analytics, Google Analytics counts how the site is used: the pages read, how you arrived, your approximate location (country and city), the type of device and browser, and steps such as opening an offer or asking for an invitation. Google Analytics does not keep your IP address. We have turned off Google’s advertising features and Google signals. We keep this data for 14 months.
Until you accept, the Google Analytics script does not load and nothing is sent to Google.
| Name | Set by | What it does | Lasts |
|---|---|---|---|
_ga | Google Analytics | Tells one visitor’s visits apart from another’s, using a random number. | 13 months |
_ga_<ID> | Google Analytics | Keeps track of the current visit. | 13 months |
Google provides Google Analytics to us as a processor. Some of what it collects may also be used by Google under its own terms.
What we do not use
No advertising cookies. No tracking across other sites. No social media pixels.
Changing your choice
Use “Cookie preferences” at the foot of every page. Turning analytics off removes the Google Analytics cookies from this site at once. You can also clear cookies in your browser’s settings; we will ask again on your next visit.
In the apps
The apps do not use cookies, but they keep similar things on your phone: your sign-in, the token that lets us send you notifications, and the usage events described in the privacy notice.
