Cookie Policy

Last updated September 2026

FAShifts uses exactly two cookies. Both are strictly necessary for the app to work — neither is optional, and there's no advertising, analytics, or cross-site tracking cookie to consent to, which is why you don't see a cookie banner here.

The two cookies

NamePurposeDuration
authjs.session-tokenKeeps you signed in between page loads. Without it, you'd have to log in on every request.Until you log out, or the session expires
currentLocationIdRemembers which of your business's locations you last had selected, if you manage more than one.Persistent, until cleared

Why no consent banner

Under most privacy laws (GDPR's ePrivacy rules, for example), only non-essential cookies — analytics, advertising, cross-site tracking — need opt-in consent. Both cookies above are strictly necessary for basic functionality (staying logged in, remembering a setting you chose), which is the standard exemption. FAShifts doesn't run analytics or advertising, so there's nothing else to disclose or ask permission for. Our error-monitoring tool, Sentry (see the Privacy Policy), doesn't set its own cookies.

Browser storage that isn't a cookie

The app also saves a few small preferences directly in your browser (not sent to our servers) — things like whether your sidebar is collapsed, whether you've seen the onboarding tour, or a display toggle you picked. These are ordinary local storage, not cookies, and you can clear them anytime from your browser's settings without affecting your account.

Changes

If we ever add a cookie that isn't strictly necessary, we'll update this page and add a real consent banner at the same time — not after.
