Cookies

A cookie is a small file a website saves in your browser. The Gists website only uses cookies it needs to work. We don't use advertising or tracking cookies, and we don't let other companies set them on Gists.

Cookies we use

• Session (gists-session): keeps you signed in while you use the site. Removed when you sign out or close your browser, unless you chose "Remember me".
• Remember me: keeps you signed in on this browser if you ticked it, until you sign out.
• Security (XSRF-TOKEN): protects your account from forms sent by other websites.
• Invite (gists_invite): if you opened a friend's invite link, remembers who invited you for 30 days, so they get their credit when you join. Removed once you sign up.

The Gists app

The app doesn't use cookies. It keeps your sign-in, language and Data saver choice, and anything waiting to send, in your phone's storage.

Your choices

You can delete cookies in your browser's settings at any time. If you block the cookies above, you won't be able to sign in on the website.
