Cookie policy

Last updated: 15 April 2026

1. The short version

This site uses essential cookies only. We do not use advertising cookies, analytics cookies, or tracking pixels. We do not share cookie data with any advertising network.

2. What is a cookie

A cookie is a small text file stored on your device by your browser. They are used to keep you logged in, remember your preferences, and make websites work properly.

3. What this site stores

We do not set traditional cookies on your device. Instead, the SUMM platform uses browser localStorage and sessionStorage — these are similar to cookies but stay only on your device and are never sent to advertising networks or third parties.

Here is exactly what we store and why:

summ_sessionlocalStorage

What it stores: Your sign-in token (encrypted)

Why: Keeps you logged into the tracker without needing to request a new sign-in link every visit

How long: Until you log out or delete your account

summ_user_idlocalStorage

What it stores: Your anonymous user ID

Why: Identifies your account locally

How long: Until you log out or delete your account

summ_user_namelocalStorage

What it stores: Your first name

Why: Personalises the tracker interface

How long: Until you log out or delete your account

summ_streaklocalStorage

What it stores: Your current tracking streak count

Why: Displays your streak in the dashboard

How long: Until you log out or delete your account

summ_cookie_oklocalStorage

What it stores: That you have acknowledged this banner

Why: Stops the cookie banner appearing on every page

How long: Permanent (until you clear browser storage)

summ_checker_answerslocalStorage

What it stores: Your symptom checker answers in progress

Why: Saves your progress if you close the checker mid-way

How long: Cleared automatically when you complete signup

summ_beta_dismissedsessionStorage

What it stores: That you have dismissed the beta notice

Why: Stops the notice reappearing during your session

How long: Until you close your browser tab

4. Third-party cookies

We load one third-party script: Klaviyo, which powers our email capture forms. Klaviyo may set its own cookies (__kla_id, _kx) on your device for email tracking purposes. These are set by Klaviyo, not by us, and are governed by Klaviyo's privacy policy at klaviyo.com/legal/privacy-notice.

Klaviyo cookies are only set after you interact with an email signup form.

We do not load Google Analytics, Meta Pixel, TikTok Pixel, Hotjar, or any other tracking or advertising scripts.

5. How to control cookies and localStorage

You can clear localStorage and sessionStorage at any time through your browser settings:

  • Chrome: Settings Privacy and security Clear browsing data
  • Safari: Settings Advanced Website Data Remove All
  • Firefox: Settings Privacy & Security Cookies and Site Data

Clearing this data will log you out of the tracker. Your account and health data stored on our servers will not be affected — you can sign back in with a new magic link.
