This page explains the cookies Dot.Files actually sets. There aren't many — Dot.Files doesn't run advertising or analytics trackers, so every cookie below exists to make the platform work, not to profile you or serve you ads.

Cookies we set

Cookie	Purpose	Duration
dot-files-session	Keeps you signed in and remembers your session state as you move around Dot.Files. Strictly necessary.	Ends when your session expires or you sign out.
XSRF-TOKEN	A security token that protects forms and requests on Dot.Files from being forged by another site. Strictly necessary.	Ends when your session expires or you sign out.
remember_web_...	Only set if you tick "Remember me" when signing in. Keeps you signed in on that browser after you close it.	Up to 5 years, or until you sign out or clear it.

What we don't use

Dot.Files does not use advertising cookies, third-party analytics or tracking pixels, or cross-site marketing cookies.

Cookies set by connected platforms

If you use single sign-on to move between Dot.Files and another Dot Ecosystem platform, that platform may set its own cookies once you land on it — those are covered by that platform's own Cookie Policy, not this one.

Managing cookies

Because Dot.Files's cookies are strictly necessary, turning them off in your browser will likely break sign-in and core functionality. Most browsers let you view, delete, or block cookies through their settings if you'd still like to manage them yourself.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Cookie Policy if the cookies Dot.Files sets change. We'll change the "Last updated" date above when we do.
