Cookies
We keep this short: WordCloud.ie only sets the cookies it needs to work. There are no analytics or advertising cookies today. Below is every cookie we set, in plain English.
Cookies we set
| Cookie | Purpose | Duration | Essential? |
|---|---|---|---|
| wc_anon | Remembers an anonymous draft while you build it, before you have an account, so your words and design are not lost. | Up to 1 year | Yes |
| better-auth.session_token | Keeps you signed in once you create an account or sign in. | 7 days (renews while you’re active) | Yes |
| wc_cookie_consent | Remembers the choice you made in the cookie banner below. | 6 months | Yes |
On the live site, the sign-in cookie’s name gets an extra __Secure- prefix (a browser-level protection that only applies over https) — it is the same cookie described above.
No analytics yet
We don’t run any analytics cookies today. If we add them in future, they will only run for visitors who accept cookies in the banner — choosing “Essential only” keeps them off.
Cookies set by others
A couple of pages hand off to other companies, who may set their own cookies under their own domains — we don’t control these, so ask them for details:
- Cloudflare Turnstile — a bot check on the sign-in and sign-up pages.
