Cookies
There are three, they are all ours, and they are all necessary for the site to work. There is no consent banner because there is nothing to consent to.

What we set
- sis_session
- Keeps you signed in. Set when you sign in, lasts 30 days, or until you close the browser if you did not tick “remember me”. It is HttpOnly, so no script can read it, and it is bound to app.seeninsearch.com — it is never sent to the public site.
- sis_oauth
- Set for ten minutes while you are signing in with Google or GitHub, and deleted the moment you come back. It exists to prove the sign-in you complete is the one you started.
- sis-theme
- Not a cookie — a value in your browser’s local storage, remembering whether you chose light, dark or system. It never leaves your device and is never sent to us.
What we do not set
No analytics cookies. No advertising cookies. No third-party trackers. We measure the product with a handful of events written to our own database, described in the privacy notice — not with a tracking script.
The public site at seeninsearch.com runs Cloudflare Turnstile on the scan form to keep bots out. Turnstile may set its own cookie on that domain as part of the challenge; it is Cloudflare’s, it is used to tell a browser from a bot, and it is not used to profile you.
Controlling them
You can clear cookies and local storage in your browser settings at any time. Clearing sis_session signs you out; clearing sis-theme puts the site back to following your system setting. Blocking them entirely means you cannot sign in — there is no other mechanism for it.
