Cookie Policy
Last updated: October 18, 2026
1. Introduction
This Cookie Policy explains how WhichDrawer ("we," "us," or "our") uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit our website at whichdrawer.app (the "Website") or use our mobile application (the "App").
Our home page sets analytics storage as soon as it loads, without asking first, and Section 3.2 lists exactly what. Nothing else on our public pages stores anything. You can block or delete it at any time, as described in Section 6.
2. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently and provide information to the website owners.
2.1 Types of Cookies
- Session Cookies: Temporary cookies that expire when you close your browser
- Persistent Cookies: Cookies that remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them
- First-Party Cookies: Cookies set by the website you're visiting
- Third-Party Cookies: Cookies set by a domain other than the website you're visiting
3. How We Use Cookies
We use cookies and similar technologies for the following purposes:
3.1 Essential Cookies
Our public pages need no cookies or stored data to work, and set none for that purpose. The only exception is our admin dashboard (whichdrawer.app/admin/), which only WhichDrawer staff can sign in to. It keeps the sign-in session in your browser's session storage, not in a cookie, so it lasts only for that tab's browsing session.
| Name | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| whichdrawer-admin-auth | Admin dashboard sign-in session, staff only (session storage) | Browser session |
3.2 Performance Cookies
These cookies help us understand how visitors use our Website. Only our home page sets any; our blog and guide pages measure visits without cookies (see Section 5.1).
| Name | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| ph_<project key>_posthog | PostHog: a random identifier that recognises a repeat visit to the home page, the current visit's session ID (a visit ends after 30 minutes of inactivity), and the page you first landed on and the site that referred you, including any query string in either (also kept in local storage) | Up to 1 year (the cookie; some browsers shorten it); the local storage copy stays until you clear site data |
| ph_<project key>_window_id and similar |
PostHog: tells one browser tab's visit apart from another's, and keeps this
visit's referring site and campaign tags such as utm_source (session
storage, not a cookie)
|
Browser session |
| _ga | Google Analytics: a random identifier that recognises a repeat visit to the home page | Up to 2 years |
| _ga_<property ID> | Google Analytics: the current visit's session ID and how many visits this browser has made (a visit ends after 30 minutes of inactivity) | Up to 2 years |
3.3 Functionality Cookies
We do not use functionality cookies. The Website has no settings to remember, such as a language or display preference.
4. Mobile App Storage
Our mobile application uses local storage mechanisms similar to cookies, including:
- Secure Storage: For storing authentication tokens securely
- Local Database: For caching your organizers and items for offline access
- Preferences: For storing your app settings and preferences
This data is stored locally on your device and is not transmitted to our servers except as necessary to sync your content.
5. Third-Party Services
We use third-party services on our Website. The cookies we set (Section 3.2) are first-party cookies: PostHog's and Google's scripts set them on whichdrawer.app, so blocking third-party cookies does not block them (see Section 6.3).
5.1 Analytics Services
We use PostHog and Google Analytics to understand how our Website is used. Google Analytics is loaded through Google Tag Manager, which itself stores nothing. On our home page they set the cookies listed in Section 3.2. Our blog and guide pages use PostHog without cookies or local storage, and Google Analytics with its storage consent set to denied, so it sets no cookies there either. Section 2.4 of our Privacy Policy describes what is collected.
5.2 Hosting and Infrastructure
Our Website is hosted on Vercel. Vercel serves our pages without setting any cookies.
6. Managing Cookies
6.1 Browser Settings
Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can usually find these settings in the "Options" or "Preferences" menu of your browser. The following links provide information on how to manage cookies in popular browsers:
6.2 Mobile App Settings
In our mobile app, you can manage data storage through the app settings or your device's app settings. You can also clear app data from your device's settings.
6.3 Consequences of Disabling Cookies
Blocking cookies and site data does not stop any part of our Website from working. On our home page it stops PostHog and Google Analytics recognising a repeat visit; blocking cookies alone stops Google Analytics but not PostHog, because PostHog also keeps its identifier in local storage. Blocking only third-party cookies has no effect on either, because they are first-party cookies (Section 5). Our blog and guide pages store nothing to begin with.
7. Do Not Track
Some browsers include a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that signals to websites that you do not want your online activity tracked. Our Website currently does not respond to DNT signals. No page on our Website records a session replay. Our blog and guide pages record visits without cookies; our home page sets the cookies in Section 3.2. Section 2.4 of our Privacy Policy describes what is collected.
8. Updates to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new policy on this page and updating the "Last updated" date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
