Cookie Policy
Last updated: April 13, 2026
FlowShot uses only essential cookies — no advertising, no third-party tracking.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored in your browser when you visit a website. They allow a site to remember information about your visit — such as whether you are logged in.
What cookies does FlowShot use?
FlowShot uses only essential cookies. These are strictly necessary for the service to function and cannot be disabled without breaking the application. We do not use any advertising, analytics, or tracking cookies.
Essential cookies — first party
These cookies are set by FlowShot directly:
| Cookie / storage key | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
firebase:authUser:* | Firebase Authentication — stores your encrypted session token so you stay logged in across page reloads and browser sessions. | Until sign-out |
firestore/[app-id]/* | Firestore offline persistence — caches recent Firestore data in IndexedDB so the app loads faster and works briefly without a network connection. | Until cleared by app or browser |
Both of these are stored in localStorage / IndexedDB (not traditional HTTP cookies), but they serve the same session-management purpose and are disclosed here for transparency.
Essential cookies — third party
The following cookies are set by third-party services that are integral to the FlowShot product:
| Service | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| Stripe | Subscription billing and fraud prevention. Stripe sets session cookies during the checkout flow to maintain state and detect fraudulent transactions. These cookies are set only when you initiate a subscription payment. | Session / up to 1 year (Stripe-managed) |
| Video CDN | CDN cookie used for video streaming and delivery. May be set to manage CDN routing and enforce signed-URL access control for protected media files. | Session |
No advertising or tracking cookies
FlowShot does not use:
- Google Analytics or any other analytics platform.
- Facebook Pixel or any social media tracking pixels.
- Advertising retargeting cookies.
- Third-party audience profiling tools.
How to control cookies
Because FlowShot only uses essential cookies, there is no cookie consent banner — essential cookies do not require consent under GDPR or ePrivacy Directive rules.
You can clear cookies at any time through your browser settings. Clearing the Firebase authentication storage will sign you out of FlowShot. Clearing Firestore persistence data will cause the app to re-download data on the next load.
Changes to this policy
If we introduce new cookies, we will update this page and notify account owners by email at least 14 days before the change takes effect.
