Cookie Policy
Last updated: October 2, 2026 · Draft
TRAX is operated by Bianca Ruehlig, sole proprietor ("TRAX", "we", "us"), [registered address]. This policy lists every cookie TRAX sets, what it's for and how long it lasts, and what's kept in your browser.
1. Cookies TRAX sets
TRAX sets five cookies of its own: to sign you in, to remember the project you were last in, and one that lets TRAX record your usage while you're signed in, on its public pages too (see the Privacy Policy). TRAX sets no advertising or third-party tracking cookies.
| Cookie | What it does | How long |
|---|---|---|
sl_session | Keeps you signed in (secure, not readable by scripts) | 7 days |
trax_si | Tells TRAX you're signed in, so your usage is recorded on its public pages too | 7 days |
trax_ctx | Remembers the project you were last working in, so Rights and other pages reopen it | 60 days |
sl_view_as | Admins only: viewing TRAX as a member to help them | 1 hour |
sl_trial_reveal | Opens a trial link someone sent you | 15 minutes |
2. Counting visits
For people who aren't signed in, visits to TRAX's public pages are counted without cookies: the page, country, device type and where the visit came from, and presses of a few buttons (like playing a demo video), with nothing that identifies you. When you're signed in, your usage is recorded as the Privacy Policy describes.
3. What's kept in your browser
TRAX also keeps a few things in your browser, on that device only:
- Local storage: choices, so they're there next time (for example Spin Sampler's view and where you left off, where you put The Loop, the AI Hub's choices, Master TRAX's ambient music, whether to tag captures with a location, your Help votes and notices you've dismissed). Settings that belong to your account, like Spin Sampler's, are also kept with your account.
- Local storage, if you open a packet someone shared: a random id for your browser, sent with that visit's engagement (time on the page, how far you read, printing).
- Session storage: a random id for this browser session, sent with usage events so they group together.
- IndexedDB: captures waiting to upload (the recording, its transcript and any location tag, removed once uploaded), and any older Spin demo take waiting for you to sign in.
- A service-worker cache of the app's files and its offline page, so TRAX opens without a connection. Your pages are never cached.
4. Clearing them
Clearing your browser's site data for TRAX removes all of these.
5. Other services' cookies
- Stripe: when you subscribe, the checkout runs on Stripe's own pages, which use Stripe's cookies.
- YouTube (privacy-enhanced mode) and Vimeo: help videos load from them only when you press play, and they may then set their own cookies.
- OpenStreetMap: the calendar map loads its map tiles from OpenStreetMap; nothing about your account is sent.
6. Your choices
You can block or delete cookies in your browser's settings. If you block TRAX's sign-in cookies, you won't be able to sign in.
