In the Inkhost app
When you sign in at app.inkhost.app, our authentication provider sets a cookie holding your session so you are not asked to log in on every page. It is strictly necessary for the service to work and cannot be turned off while staying signed in. Signing out clears it.
The app may also use your browser’s local storage for interface preferences. That never leaves your device.
On published blogs
We set no cookies on the blogs we serve. There is no advertising tag, no third-party analytics script, and no cross-site tracking pixel.
Page views are counted server-side using a one-way hash of the request combined with a secret salt and the current date. It identifies nobody, it is not stored in your browser, and it changes daily. That is why blogs published with Inkhost do not need a cookie banner for anything we do.
One caveat worth stating: a blog owner can add their own custom header or footer markup. If they include a third-party script that sets cookies, that is their choice and their disclosure to make, not ours.
On this website
inkhost.app uses Vercel Analytics and Speed Insights to measure traffic and page performance. Both are configured to operate without cookies and without collecting personal data.
Controlling cookies
Every browser lets you block or clear cookies. Blocking the session cookie will stop you from signing in to Inkhost, but will not affect reading or publishing blogs. Questions go to privacy@inkhost.app.
