Cookie Notice
Last updated: September 30, 2026
This notice lists the cookies and similar browser storage Everylink uses on everyl.ink, the dashboard and public profile pages, what each is for, and how to control them.
1. What we use
We use a small number of first-party cookies and browser storage items. We don't use advertising cookies, and our visit statistics are cookieless.
| Name | Where | Purpose | Type | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| better-auth.session_token | Cookie (everyl.ink and subdomains) | Keeps you signed in to the dashboard and API. | Strictly necessary | 60 days |
| better-auth.session_data | Cookie (everyl.ink and subdomains) | Short-lived signed copy of your session so pages load without a database lookup. | Strictly necessary | 5 minutes |
| el_ref | Cookie (everyl.ink) | Remembers the referral link you arrived through so the referrer gets credit if you sign up. | Functional | 15 days, cleared after sign-up |
| el_ref_v:<code> | Session storage | Stops one referral visit being counted twice in the same tab. | Functional | Until the tab closes |
| el_claim | Local storage | Carries the page name you picked across the sign-in email round trip. | Strictly necessary | Until you finish claiming |
| everylink-query-cache | Local storage | Caches your dashboard data so it opens instantly; cleared when you sign out. | Functional | Until sign-out |
| el:cacheOwner | Local storage | Records which account the cached dashboard data belongs to, so a different sign-in on the same browser never sees it. | Strictly necessary | Until cleared |
| el:activeProfileId | Local storage | Remembers which of your profiles you were last editing. | Functional | Until cleared |
| el:playground:v1 | Local storage | Saves your edits to the demo editor on the home page (never sent to us). | Functional | Until you press Reset or clear it |
| el_sid, el_u, el_r | Session storage (profile pages) | A random session ID plus the landing address and referrer, so a visit is counted once. | Analytics | Until the tab closes |
| sentryReplaySession | Session storage (signed-in dashboard only) | Links error reports and session replays to one browsing session. | Analytics (error monitoring) | Until the tab closes |
On secure connections your browser may show the session cookies with a __Secure- prefix.
2. What the types mean
- Strictly necessary — needed for something you asked for, like signing in. The site doesn't work properly without them.
- Functional — remember choices and speed things up. Removing them won't break anything, but some convenience is lost.
- Analytics — help count visits and diagnose errors. They contain no personal details and are cleared when you close the tab.
3. Third-party cookies
- Cloudflare, which delivers our sites, may set security cookies such as
__cf_bmto filter out bots. - Google Fonts serves a typeface on the sign-in and onboarding pages and receives your IP address when it loads; it doesn't set cookies for this. Our other pages serve their fonts from our own domain.
- Stripe sets its own cookies on its checkout and billing portal pages, for fraud prevention and to process payments.
- Profiles can embed videos (YouTube's privacy-enhanced mode, Vimeo, Loom) and maps (OpenStreetMap). These providers may set or read their own cookies or storage when the embed loads, under their own policies.
4. How to control them
You can view and delete cookies and site data in your browser settings, and block them for everyl.ink. Blocking the session cookies will sign you out and stop the dashboard working; everything else will keep working. Signing out also clears the dashboard's cached data.
