This Cookie Policy explains how DepTools SAS uses cookies and similar browser storage technologies on deptools.io.
This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which provides full details on how we handle your personal data.
We use no tracking cookies, no advertising cookies, and no third-party analytics cookies. We store authentication tokens and preferences in your browser's localStorage, and we set one single short-lived technical cookie during the GitHub account linking flow. No cookie consent banner is shown because we do not use any non-essential cookies.
Cookies are small text files stored in your browser by a website. They can remember information between page visits or sessions.
We also use localStorage, a browser API that works similarly to cookies but is never automatically sent to the server with requests. It is used exclusively on the client side to store your session and preferences.
DepTools sets only one cookie on your browser, and it is strictly necessary for a specific authentication flow:
| Name | Purpose | Type | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| github_link_user_id | Temporarily holds your user ID during the GitHub account linking flow to maintain state between the redirect to GitHub and the callback. | Strictly necessary | 10 minutes |
This cookie is httpOnly (not accessible by JavaScript), Secure (transmitted over HTTPS only), and SameSite=Lax (not sent on cross-site requests). It is automatically deleted after 10 minutes or once the linking flow completes, and is not used for tracking or analytics.
We use localStorage to keep you authenticated and to remember your interface preferences. This data never leaves your browser automatically — it is only sent to our servers when you explicitly make an API request.
| Key | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| access_token | JWT token used to authenticate your API requests | Session |
| refresh_token | JWT refresh token used to renew your session without re-login | 31 days |
| user | Basic profile information (email, user ID) cached locally | Session |
| organizations | List of organizations you belong to, cached locally | Session |
| selected_org_slug | Your last selected organization, to restore context on return | Persistent |
| nuxt-color-mode | Your light or dark theme preference Functional preference — not strictly necessary | Persistent |
All localStorage data is cleared when you log out or delete your account.
DepTools does not use any of the following:
We do not track your behavior across websites and we do not sell or share your data with advertising networks.
When you interact with third-party services integrated into DepTools — such as GitHub (for OAuth login) or Lemon Squeezy (for payment) — you may be redirected to their own domains. Those services may set their own cookies, which are governed entirely by their respective cookie and privacy policies:
DepTools has no control over cookies set by third-party websites and is not responsible for their practices.
All storage we use is either strictly necessary (authentication tokens) or functional preference (theme). Neither category requires consent under CNIL guidelines, so there is nothing to opt out of. However, you can clear all DepTools data from your browser at any time:
Clear localStorage
Go to your browser's developer tools → Application tab → Local Storage → select deptools.io and delete the entries. This will log you out.
Clear cookies
You can delete the github_link_user_id cookie via your browser settings. It expires automatically after 10 minutes in any case.
Log out
Logging out from DepTools automatically clears all authentication tokens from localStorage.
We may update this Cookie Policy if we introduce new technologies or change our storage practices. When we do, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. We will notify registered users by email of any significant changes.
