Cookie Policy

SCUTA Quant uses only essential cookies: to keep you signed in and to protect your account.

Version 2026-10-09-draft

Draft

This document is a draft awaiting review by a lawyer. Text in [BRACKETS] is a placeholder that will be replaced before launch, and the wording may change.

1. Only essential cookies

SCUTA Quant uses only cookies that are strictly necessary to provide the Service you ask for: keeping you signed in and protecting your account (authentication and CSRF protection). We do not use analytics, advertising or social-media cookies, and no third-party tracking scripts run on our pages.

Because these cookies are strictly necessary, they do not need your consent [CONFIRM UNDER APPLICABLE LAW]. We show a short notice so you know about them.

2. The cookies we set

CookiePurposeExpires
scuta_accessKeeps you signed in (short-lived session token, httpOnly)15 minutes
scuta_rtRenews the session token; only sent to the sign-in endpoints (httpOnly)30 days
scuta_csrfProtects forms and actions against cross-site request forgery (httpOnly)30 days
scuta_oauth_stateProtects a Google sign-in in progress; only if you use Google10 minutes
scuta_oauth_intentLinks Google or confirms it is you from Settings; only while you do that10 minutes

All of them are first-party cookies set by our API, marked httpOnly (page scripts cannot read them), SameSite=Lax, and Secure in production.

3. Browser storage

The web app also stores a few values in your browser’s local storage. They are not sent to us and contain no tokens:

KeyPurpose
scuta_signed_inRemembers that this browser has signed in, so signed-out visits skip a session check
scuta_session_refreshesCoordinates session renewal between open tabs
scuta.run-settings.v1.*Your last run settings for each strategy
Workspace layout keysPanel sizes and layout of the strategy workspace
scuta_cookie_noticeRemembers that you dismissed the cookie notice

4. Pages run by others

Stripe Checkout and the Stripe billing portal, and Google’s sign-in page, are run by Stripe and Google on their own domains and set their own cookies there under their own policies.

5. If this changes

If we ever add analytics or other non-essential cookies, we will update this policy first and ask for your consent before setting them; you will be able to refuse without losing access to the Service.

6. Controlling cookies

You can delete or block cookies in your browser settings. Blocking the cookies above stops sign-in from working. Questions: [PRIVACY EMAIL].
