Cookie Policy
Last updated: 4 May 2026
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They are used to remember preferences, keep you signed in, and protect against certain attacks.
Our approach
We use a deliberately minimal set of cookies. We don't set analytics cookies, we don't set marketing cookies, and we don't share data with third-party advertising networks.
The only cookies bemycoop sets are essential cookies — the ones strictly necessary to keep you signed in and protect form submissions. Under the ePrivacy Directive and GDPR, essential cookies don't require a consent banner, so you won't see one on this site.
Cookies we use
| Cookie | Purpose | Duration | Type |
|---|---|---|---|
| authjs.session-token (or __Secure-authjs.session-token in production) | Keeps you signed in across page loads. Set when you log in and cleared when you sign out. | 30 days | Essential |
| authjs.csrf-token (or __Host-authjs.csrf-token in production) | Protects sign-in / sign-up forms against cross-site request forgery (CSRF). | Session | Essential |
| authjs.callback-url | Remembers where you were trying to go before signing in, so we can return you there afterwards. | Session | Essential |
If you sign in with Discord, the Discord OAuth handshake sets a short-lived state cookie on the discord.com domain. That cookie is set by Discord, not by us, and is governed by their own privacy policy.
Other site storage
The site also uses localStorage on your device for one small UX feature: remembering whether you've dismissed the “welcome / we're young, stick with us” sticky note on the homepage. localStorage isn't a cookie, isn't sent to our servers, and clearing it just makes the note re-appear.
Clearing cookies
You can clear cookies (and localStorage) at any time through your browser's settings. Doing so will sign you out of bemycoop; you'll need to sign in again on your next visit. There is no in-site “clear cookies” button because we only set essential cookies that the site needs to function.
