Cookie Policy
Last updated: 2026-07-21.
DeckScout sets no advertising, analytics or tracking cookies of any kind. The only cookies used are strictly necessary for the Service to work, so no consent banner is shown: under EU ePrivacy rules, technical cookies like these are exempt from prior consent, though we still have to tell you about them.
| Cookie | Purpose | Lifetime |
|---|---|---|
ds_session |
Keeps you signed in after login (Google, Microsoft or Discord) | 7 days (or whatever session length the server is configured with) |
ds_oauth_state |
Anti-forgery check during the sign-in redirect only | 10 minutes |
ds_anon |
Lets an anonymous visitor use their free scans before signing in, without which the limit could not be enforced at all | 30 days |
All three are set with HttpOnly and SameSite=Lax
(and Secure over HTTPS), so they are never readable by
JavaScript and are not sent cross-site. None of them contain your email,
IP address or collection data in readable form: ds_session
carries a cryptographically signed token, ds_anon a random id.
Controlling cookies
You can block or delete these cookies from your browser settings at any
time. Blocking ds_session signs you out; blocking
ds_anon resets your anonymous scan count on every visit, which
in practice makes the free-scan limit meaningless for that browser.
