Cookie Policy
Last updated 14 November 2026
Cookies are small text files a website stores in your browser. Shelf uses as few as possible: only the ones needed to keep you signed in. We don’t use advertising, analytics or social-media tracking cookies, so there is no cookie banner to click through.
1. Cookies we set
| Name | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| sb-…-auth-token | Keeps you signed in after you log in. Set only when you sign in, and may be split into several numbered parts. | Until you sign out, or about a year |
This cookie is strictly necessary for the sign-in feature you ask for, so it doesn’t need your consent. If you never sign in, we set no cookies at all.
2. Third parties
Some tool logos load from Google’s favicon service. Your browser contacts Google to fetch those images, and Google may receive your IP address and browser details as part of that request under its own privacy policy. Shelf does not place Google cookies.
3. Controlling cookies
- Signing out removes the sign-in cookie.
- You can view, block or delete cookies in your browser settings. If you block the sign-in cookie, you won't be able to stay signed in, but browsing still works.
4. More information
For how we handle personal data generally, see the Privacy Policy. If we ever add optional cookies, such as analytics, we will update this page and ask for your consent first.
