Overview

This Cookie Policy explains how Memory Hunt uses cookies and similar technologies, such as browser session and local storage, to run the service. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.

02

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. Similar technologies, like local storage and session storage, let a site remember information in your browser. Together they help keep you signed in, maintain an active session, and keep the service secure.

How We Use Cookies

Essential cookies

  • Keep hosts signed in through our login provider, Clerk.
  • Maintain a guest's upload session so their photos and progress are remembered while they participate.
  • Protect against fraud and keep the service secure.

Functional storage

  • Remember a guest's chosen name or nickname during an event so they don't have to re-enter it.
  • Store small preferences that make the experience smoother.
04

Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies are set by the trusted providers that power Memory Hunt:

  • Clerk sets cookies needed for secure host login and session management.
  • Stripe may set cookies during checkout to process payments securely and help prevent fraud.

These providers use cookies in line with their own policies, and only as needed to deliver their part of the service.

05

Managing Cookies

Most browsers let you view, manage, and delete cookies and clear local storage through their settings. You can choose to block or remove cookies at any time.

Please note that essential cookies are required for Memory Hunt to work. If you block them, you may not be able to sign in, join an event, or upload photos.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. When we make material changes, we will update the date at the top of this page. Your continued use of Memory Hunt after an update means you accept the revised policy.
