Cookie Policy

Every cookie DBDock sets is first-party and essential to signing you in. No advertising, no cross-site tracking.

Last updated:

The short version

DBDock uses only first-party cookies and browser storage needed to sign you in, keep you signed in, and gate access to shared dashboards. We do not use third-party advertising or cross-site tracking cookies, and we do not load analytics that profile you across the web.

Every cookie we set is essential to the service — disabling them will break sign-in. There is no non-essential category to opt out of, which is why DBDock does not show a tracking-consent banner.

Authentication cookies

These keep your session alive. In production they are served over HTTPS with the Secure flag and SameSite=None so the dashboard and API can share them across subdomains; in local development they fall back to SameSite=Lax without Secure.

NamePurposeLifetimeFlags
tekcify_access_tokenShort-lived JWT that authenticates dashboard requests.Until token expirySecure, SameSite=None
tekcify_refresh_tokenRotates your session so you stay signed in without re-entering credentials.30 daysHttpOnly, Secure, SameSite=None
tekcify_expires_atLets the app know when the access token needs refreshing.30 daysSecure, SameSite=None
tekcify_token_scopeRecords the permission scope granted to the session.Until token expiryHttpOnly, Secure, SameSite=None
tekcify_redirect_after_loginRemembers where to send you after an OAuth sign-in.Cleared right after loginSecure, SameSite=None

Shared dashboard cookies

These are only set when you open a shared, read-only dashboard link that someone gave you. They are HttpOnly and never used for tracking.

NamePurposeLifetimeFlags
dd_viewer_tokenAuthenticates a viewer of a shared read-only dashboard link.SessionHttpOnly, Secure
dd_dash_pwConfirms you entered the correct password for a protected shared dashboard.SessionHttpOnly, Secure

Browser storage

Alongside cookies, DBDock stores a few values in your browser'slocalStorage to keep the app responsive. This data stays in your browser and is not a cookie sent to third parties.

NamePurposeLifetimeFlags
dd_notification_prefsRemembers your in-app notification preferences.Until clearedlocalStorage

Managing cookies

You can clear or block cookies in your browser settings, and you can clear DBDock's browser storage by signing out or clearing site data for dbdock.xyz. Because these cookies are essential, blocking them means you will not be able to sign in or use the dashboard.

For details on how the underlying data is handled, see our Privacy Policy.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy as the product evolves. Material changes will be announced in-app or by email, and the "Last updated" date above will change. Continuing to use DBDock after an update means you accept the revised policy.
