This policy explains the cookies and similar local storage used by wocomment.com and app.wocomment.com, operated by Cura Spectra B.V. (KvK 94496005).
1. The short version
We use cookies to keep you logged in, to protect the sign-in form and forms inside the app, and to remember interface preferences such as theme and density.
We do not use advertising, marketing, retargeting or cross-site tracking cookies. We do not sell or share cookie data, and we do not run third-party ad networks or social plugins on our site.
2. Cookies we set
| Cookie | Set by | Purpose | Duration | Category |
|---|---|---|---|---|
wocomment_session | WoComment (first party) | Keeps your session active between page loads. Without it you cannot stay logged in. | Session (deleted when the browser closes) or 2 hours of inactivity of inactivity | Strictly necessary |
XSRF-TOKEN | WoComment (first party) | Cross-site request forgery (CSRF) protection: proves that a form or API request came from our own app. | Session | Strictly necessary |
wocomment_remember | WoComment (first party) | Optional "keep me signed in" — only set if you tick that box at login. | 30 days | Authentication (functional) |
wc_prefs | WoComment (first party) | Stores interface preferences: light/dark theme, table density, default inbox filter, language. | 12 months | Preference (functional) |
wc_cookie_notice | WoComment (first party) | Remembers that you have seen the cookie notice, so we do not show it again. | 12 months | Functional |
We also use browser localStorage in the app for non-identifying interface state (for example the last selected connected Page and column widths). This stays in your browser and is never sent to our servers.
3. Third-party cookies
The only third-party cookies you may encounter come from Stripe, our payment processor, and only when you open the checkout or the billing portal from Settings → Billing:
| Cookie | Set by | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
__stripe_mid | Stripe | Fraud prevention — identifies the browser across payment sessions. | 12 months |
__stripe_sid | Stripe | Fraud prevention — identifies the current payment session. | 30 minutes |
These are set by Stripe under Stripe's own privacy policy (stripe.com/privacy). We do not control them and we cannot read them. They are used for payment security, not advertising.
> Note before publishing: confirm the exact cookie names and lifetimes emitted by the application and by your Stripe integration, and update this table if they differ. If you later add analytics, error monitoring or a chat widget, this table must be updated and a consent mechanism added for any non-essential cookie.
4. Consent
The cookies in section 2 are either strictly necessary to deliver the service you asked for, or functional preferences you set yourself. Under the Dutch Telecommunications Act and the ePrivacy Directive, these do not require prior consent, so we do not show a blocking consent banner. We show a short informational notice linking to this page instead.
Stripe's payment cookies are set only when you actively start a payment or open the billing portal, and are necessary to process that payment securely.
If we ever introduce analytics or any other non-essential cookie, we will ask for your consent first and give you a way to withdraw it.
5. How to control cookies
- In our app: you can change theme and density preferences at any time in Settings → Appearance. Logging out clears your session and authentication cookies.
- In your browser: all major browsers let you view, block and delete cookies — usually under Settings → Privacy. See your browser's help pages for Chrome, Safari, Firefox or Edge.
- Consequences: blocking strictly necessary cookies will stop you logging in to app.wocomment.com and will break form submissions. Blocking preference cookies only means your theme and layout choices reset each visit.
Note that WoComment reads comments from Facebook, Instagram and TikTok through official platform APIs on the server side. That happens without any cookie in your browser, and this policy does not cover cookies set by those platforms on their own websites.
6. Changes and contact
We update this policy when the cookies we use change. The "last updated" date above shows the current version.
