Cookie policy

Door Money sets almost no cookies. This page lists the ones it does, what each one is for, and what the banner at the bottom of the page is asking.

What a cookie is

A cookie is a small text file a site asks the browser to keep, so the site can recognize the same browser on the next request. Some cookies are needed for a site to work at all, such as the one that keeps a person signed in. Others exist to track people across sites for advertising. Door Money sets only the first kind.

The cookies Door Money sets

Four, and two of them belong to Stripe and appear only while someone is paying.

The sign-in cookie's full name includes the project reference of the database it belongs to, so the middle part varies.

What Door Money does not use

  • No analytics cookies. Door Money counts page views with Vercel Web Analytics, which sets no cookies and stores no IP addresses.
  • No advertising cookies, no retargeting, no social media pixels.
  • No third-party fonts. The typefaces are served from Door Money's own servers, so no font provider sees a visit.
  • No chat widgets or other embedded services on the marketing pages.

The law asks for consent before a site sets cookies that are not strictly necessary. Door Money sets none of those. The banner at the bottom of the page is a notice, not a request: it says what the site sets and links here. Accepting it sets one more cookie, so the banner stays away for a year.

The widget on other sites

When a musician embeds the widget, it loads inside a frame served by Door Money. The widget sets no cookies until a fan starts a payment, at which point Stripe's two cookies apply inside the frame only. The organizer's own site may set cookies of its own; those are the organizer's, and the organizer's own policy covers them. See the widget page for how the embed works.

Other browser storage

Door Money does not currently use local storage, session storage or any other browser storage. If that changes, this page will say so and explain why.

How to control cookies

Every browser lets a person see, block and delete cookies through its settings, usually under privacy. Blocking all cookies on Door Money has two effects: sign-in stops working, and Stripe may decline a payment it cannot check for fraud. Everything else on the site, including every fundraiser and every public page, works without cookies.
