Cookies and local storage
ARACHNE uses only what's strictly needed to make the Service work. We don't use advertising, tracking or analytics cookies, so we don't need to ask for consent and there's no cookie banner.
Cookies
- Sign-in cookie (
__Host-arachne_s): keeps you signed in. It holds a random token, is HttpOnly and Secure, and lasts until you sign out or it expires. - Admin cookies (
__Host-arachne_a,__Host-arachne_p): only for administrators signing in to the admin area. - Cloudflare security cookies (such as
__cf_bmorcf_clearance): Cloudflare may set these to protect the site from bots and attacks. See https://developers.cloudflare.com/fundamentals/reference/policies-compliances/cloudflare-cookies/.
Local storage in your browser
The scanner saves things in your browser's local storage and IndexedDB so it works the way you set it up: your settings and API keys (arachne.settings), your scan history and saved scans (the arachne database), and whether you closed the announcement banner (arachne.banner). This stays on your device and isn't sent to us, except API keys sent with the lookup they're for.
These are strictly necessary for a service you asked for, so under the ePrivacy rules they don't need consent. You can delete them at any time from your Account page ("Clear data in this browser") or in your browser's settings; you'll then need to sign in and set things up again.
Fonts and libraries
The fonts and graph libraries the site uses are served from this site, so your browser doesn't contact Google Fonts or other content networks.
