Cookie Policy
SteamStats uses strictly necessary cookies to keep you signed in and to remember your cookie choice. Settings you change in the app, such as the theme, stay in your browser. Analytics cookies are off unless you allow them, and no advertising cookies are used. You can change your choice at any time with Cookie settings in the footer.

1. What this policy covers
Cookies are small text files that a website stores in your browser. Local storage is a similar browser feature that keeps settings on your device. This policy covers both, on steamstats.io and in the SteamStats app, and forms part of our Privacy Policy.
Last updated: 2 November 2026.
2. Categories
- Strictly necessary: sign-in, security and remembering your cookie choice. Always on, because the site cannot work as you ask without them.
- Preferences: settings you change in the app, such as the theme, chart date ranges and recent searches. They are stored only when you change a setting, stay in your browser and are not sent to us.
- Analytics: help us understand which pages and features are used. Off by default and used only if you allow them. Not active today; this policy will list their cookies before analytics is switched on.
- Advertising: none. SteamStats uses no advertising or cross-site tracking cookies.
3. Cookies we set
| Cookie | Category | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| ss_consent | Strictly necessary | Stores your cookie choice, its version and when you made it | Six months |
| better-auth.session_token | Strictly necessary | Keeps you signed in after you open a sign-in link or use a passkey; on HTTPS its name starts with __Secure- | Seven days, renewed while you use the app |
| better-auth-passkey | Strictly necessary | Holds the one-time challenge while you sign in with a passkey or add one | A few minutes |
4. Settings kept in your browser
| Key | Category | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| mantine-color-scheme-value | Preferences | The theme you pick: light, dark or system |
| v2:range:… and range:… | Preferences | The date range you choose on each chart |
| layers:wishlist-daily-2 | Preferences | The chart layers you turn on or off |
| vis-now-view | Preferences | The store visibility view you choose |
| v2.search.recent.… and ss.recent | Preferences | Your recent searches |
| ss.lastGame | Preferences | The game you opened last |
| v2:hide-launch-row:… | Preferences | Whether you hid the launch row on a game page |

The public website stores nothing in local storage until you change a setting in the app.
5. Third-party cookies
When you open checkout in the app, Paddle's payment window loads from Paddle and may set its own cookies to process the payment and prevent fraud. Paddle is the merchant of record, and its cookie policy applies to those cookies. SteamStats sets no other third-party cookies.
6. Analytics, once switched on
When we switch on product analytics, we plan to use PostHog's EU cloud, hosted in Frankfurt, Germany. Its script will load only after you allow analytics, and it stops loading on your next page view if you withdraw consent. Before it goes live, this policy will list its cookies, their duration and whether IP addresses are stored.
7. Your choices
- On your first visit, a bar at the bottom of the page offers Accept all, Necessary only and Settings. Necessary only is as easy as Accept all, and nothing beyond strictly necessary cookies is set until you choose.
- Settings shows each category: strictly necessary is always on, and analytics stays off until you turn it on.
- Cookie settings, in the footer of the public pages, reopens the bar so that you can change or withdraw your choice at any time.
- We ask again after six months, or sooner if we add a category.
- You can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings; blocking strictly necessary cookies stops sign-in from working.
8. Changes and contact
We update this policy when the cookies or storage we use change; the date at the top of the page shows the latest review. Questions: support@steamstats.io.
