Cookie Policy
The short version
Kept sets no advertising cookies and no cross-site tracking cookies. We do set one analytics cookie, for Google Analytics, so we can count visits and see which pages get read. Everything else is two small preferences stored on your own device so the interface behaves sensibly between visits.
What is stored on your device
| Key | Type | Purpose | Expires |
|---|---|---|---|
kept.cookies |
localStorage | Remembers that you dismissed the cookie notice, so it does not reappear. | Until you clear site data |
kept.wallet |
localStorage | Remembers that you previously connected a wallet, so the site can reconnect without prompting you each visit. | Until you clear site data |
_ga, _ga_* |
Cookie (Google) | Google Analytics. A random identifier that lets Google tell a returning visit from a new one. Not linked to your wallet or your identity. | 2 years |
The two kept.* entries are localStorage, not cookies
— they are never sent to our server with your requests. The _ga
entries are real cookies, set by Google Analytics, and are sent to Google.
Are these strictly necessary?
The two kept.* preferences are: you set them by your own actions,
they contain no identifiers, and they are not used to profile you. Under the
ePrivacy rules that kind of storage generally does not require consent.
The analytics cookie is not strictly necessary — it is there
because we want to know whether anyone is reading this. See
the privacy policy for how to turn
it off.
Third parties
Loading the site fetches a JavaScript library from cdnjs (Cloudflare) and fonts from Google Fonts. These providers see your IP address as part of serving the file. They do not set cookies for us and we receive nothing back from them.
Google Analytics is different: it does set a cookie and it does report back to us, in aggregate. Details and the opt-out are in the privacy policy.
Stock logos are served from our own domain, so browsing the markets table does not reveal to anyone else which stocks you looked at.
Your wallet extension is separate software with its own policy. Connecting it exposes your public address to this site.
Turning it off
Clearing site data in your browser removes all of them. You can also block
storage for this site entirely — the interface still works, you will just see the
cookie notice on each visit and have to reconnect your wallet manually. To stop
the analytics cookie specifically, use Google's
opt-out add-on
or block googletagmanager.com in any content blocker.
