Cookie policy

Short version: the website uses no analytics or tracking cookies; the console uses only the two needed to keep you signed in. No tracking, no ads.

1. What cookies are

A cookie is a small piece of text a site stores in your browser to "remember" you between requests — like keeping you signed in. Similar tech includes localStorage.

2. The website (webchecks.site)

This website is pure static pages and uses no analytics, tracking, or ad scripts. It writes a language-preference cookie (wc_lang, one year, containing no identifier) only when you switch language manually or are redirected by browser language on first visit; beyond that the website stores no cookies or settings. While you read these pages, all we see is your IP and browser type in server access logs, kept no more than 30 days.

3. The console (my.webchecks.site)

NameTypePurposeValidity period
PHPSESSID(or equivalent name)Essential · cookieSession cookie for sign in, plus CSRF protection. Marked Secure, HttpOnly, SameSite=Lax.Browser session; expires when idle
wc_langPreferences · cookieRemembers your chosen interface language (Simplified Chinese / English / Traditional Chinese)one year
wc-themePreferences · localStorageRemembers your light / dark theme choiceUntil you clear browser data

None of the above tracks what you do on other sites, and none of it is shared with third parties.

4. Public status page

Status pages (/status/…) need no sign in and apply no cookie settings.

5. Third parties

We embed no third-party scripts (analytics, ads, social plugins, font services). The DingTalk, webhook, and other receivers you configure in console Settings never set cookies in your browser.

6. How to manage

The session cookie is required to sign in — the console won't work without it. You can view and delete cookies and local storage in your browser settings anytime; sign out also ends the session.

7. Changes and contact

If we introduce new cookies, this page will be updated and dated first. Questions: support@my.webchecks.site.
