Cookie Policy
Last updated 7 November 2026
Cookies are small files a website stores in your browser. Blync uses a small number of them, plus browser storage, as described below. This policy forms part of our Privacy Policy.
Strictly necessary (always on)
These are needed for Blync to work, so they don't need your consent. You can block them in your browser, but sign-in and guest drafts will stop working.
- next-auth.session-token and related Auth.js cookies (app.blync.app and .blync.app): keep you signed in and protect sign-in against forgery. Session cookies expire after up to 30 days or when you log out.
- blync_guest (app.blync.app): links drafts you make without an account to your browser, so you can pick them up again or move them into a new account. Expires after 30 days.
- Cookie choice (browser local storage on blync.app): remembers whether you accepted or declined analytics cookies, so we don't ask on every visit.
Analytics (only with your consent)
On blync.app we use Google Analytics to understand how visitors find and use the website. We use Google Consent Mode with analytics storage set to "denied" by default, so these cookies are only set after you click Accept in the cookie banner.
- _ga and _ga_<id> (blync.app, Google): distinguish visitors and sessions. Expire after up to 2 years.
Google processes this data as described in its own privacy policy. We don't use advertising or cross-site tracking cookies.
Your choices
- Change your analytics choice at any time with "Cookie settings" in the footer of blync.app.
- Block or delete cookies in your browser settings. If you delete the guest cookie before signing up, unsaved guest drafts can't be recovered.
- Install the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on to opt out of Google Analytics on all websites.
