This page lists every cookie Synthesist can set and what each one is for. How the data itself is handled is in the privacy policy.
Essential cookies
These are needed for the site to work, or for something you asked it to do, so they do not need your consent. They are not used to track you.
| Name | Purpose | Lifetime |
|---|---|---|
gitcaddy_session | Keeps the site's forms and security checks working while you browse. | Until you close the browser |
gitcaddy_reader_pending, gitcaddy_waitlist | Holds a sign-up while you enter the code emailed to you. | 30 minutes |
gitcaddy_landing_user | Remembers that you confirmed your email address, so you are not asked again each time. | 12 months |
Article pages also save one setting in your browser's local storage: whether you left the notes panel open. It never leaves your device.
Optional cookies
This site sets no optional cookies, so there is nothing to accept or reject.
Third parties
This site sets no third-party cookies, and its fonts, images and scripts are served by its host. Content an author embeds from another site in an article is governed by that site's own cookie policy.
Your control
You can delete cookies or block them in your browser's settings at any time. Blocking the essential ones may stop forms from working.
