Cookies

To make this site online pomodoro-like procrastination free timer work properly, we sometimes place small data files called cookies on your computer or device. Most big websites do this too.

What are cookies?

A cookie is a small text file that a website saves on your computer or mobile device when you visit the site. It enables the website to remember your actions and preferences (such as login, language, font size and other display preferences) over a period of time, so you don’t have to keep re-entering them whenever you come back to the site or browse from one page to another.

How do we use cookies?

1. Our website uses cookies to store "session id". "Session id" is a hash string which contains no private information. However, it uniquely identifies the user inside our login system, therefore, if stolen, an adversary could potentially get access to your private data by logging in using this "session id" (thus, impersonating yourself). Please check "Privacy" page to understand what kind of private data the website stores.

To mitigate such threat, the website uses HTTPs protocol, so no casual web traffic listener could obtain session id. But you must understand, since the cookies are stored on YOUR computer or device, the website cannot prevent access to this "session id" information in case adversary has an access to the data on your computer. Also, this won't protect it against man-in-the-middle attack with a forged HTTPs certificate. Always make sure that website's HTTPs certificate is a valid one! (Your browser must warn you if it is not).

2. Also our website uses 3-rd party services: Google Analytics, YouTube, Free Suggestion Box . We have no control over the way they function, including their cookies policy. You have to read their documentation to understand how they work with the cookies.

3. Please note, that we don't use cookies to store any statistical data, like, "how many times the timer was launched" or "how successful is your struggle against procrastination". Neither we use it to store any private information, like, name, email etc.
