Our Approach to Cookies

SideMirror takes a minimal approach to cookies. We believe in transparency and only use what is strictly necessary.

For Creators (Authenticated Users)

When you sign in to your account, we use a single session cookie. This is essential for keeping you logged in and protecting against cross-site request forgery (CSRF). It is:

  • Strictly necessary for authentication
  • Not used for tracking or advertising
  • Deleted when you sign out or when your session expires

For Respondents (Feedback Givers)

Feedback pages set exactly one cookie: a strictly necessary, anonymous session cookie.

It exists for security only: protecting the form against cross-site request forgery, remembering an access code you entered, and rate limiting. It contains no identity, is never used for tracking or analytics, and expires after 2 hours. No tracking of any kind occurs on feedback pages.

Third-Party Cookies

  • Stripe Checkout: When Creators make a payment, they are temporarily redirected to Stripe's checkout page. Stripe may use its own cookies during this process, governed by Stripe's Cookie Policy.

We Do NOT Use

  • ✕ Analytics cookies (no Google Analytics, no Mixpanel, etc.)
  • ✕ Advertising or marketing cookies
  • ✕ Social media tracking cookies
  • ✕ Any third-party tracking cookies
