Cookie & Local-Storage Notice

Summa aims to operate without advertising or cross-site tracking cookies. We use only technologies necessary to provide, secure and remember the service, unless optional technologies are introduced with a lawful consent mechanism.

1. Current approach

Summa aims to operate without advertising or cross-site tracking cookies. We use only cookies or browser storage necessary to provide, secure and remember the service, unless optional technologies are introduced with a lawful consent mechanism.

2. Necessary technologies

NameTypePurposeDuration
authjs.session-tokenCookieKeeps you signed in and protects the session12 hours
authjs.csrf-tokenCookiePrevents request forgerySession
authjs.callback-url, authjs.state, authjs.pkce.code_verifierCookiesComplete a secure sign-in exchangeShort-lived
auth_flowCookieCarries sign-in, two-factor and password-reset stepsShort-lived
active_tenant_idCookieRemembers which workspace you selected30 days
NEXT_LOCALECookie and local storageRemembers your chosen language1 year
sidebar_stateCookieRemembers whether the sidebar is collapsed7 days
summa-themeLocal storageRemembers light or dark appearanceUntil cleared
summa.waitlist-draft.v1Session storagePreserves an unfinished waitlist formUntil the tab closes

The last four remember a choice you made yourself — language, appearance, layout, or an unfinished form. None of these technologies is used for advertising, profiling or cross-site tracking, and none is shared with a third party.

3. Website statistics

We measure how the public website is used so we can see which pages are useful and whether the site performs well. This measurement uses no cookies and stores nothing on your device, which is why you are not asked for consent for it: the rules on consent govern access to your device, and we do not access it.

Instead, our own servers record the page you requested, the response status, the referring website's domain name, and a coarse description of your device, browser and operating system. Your IP address is used only to derive a short-lived visitor code and is never stored. That code is produced with a secret key which is replaced and destroyed every day, so visits cannot be linked from one day to the next — by us or by anyone else. There is no profile, no advertising use, and no third party involved.

What we recordWhyHow long
Requested page and response statusSee which pages are used and which are failingUp to 90 days
Referring website domainUnderstand where visitors come fromUp to 90 days
Device, browser and operating system categoryEnsure the site works on real devicesUp to 90 days
Daily visitor code derived from IP addressCount visitors and visits without identifying anyoneUp to 90 days; the key is destroyed daily
Page performance measurementsDetect slow pages for real visitorsUp to 90 days

After 90 days the detailed records are deleted and only daily totals remain. Because no stored value can be linked back to a person once the daily key is destroyed, these statistics cannot be tied to an individual and therefore fall outside data subject access and erasure requests. Our lawful basis for this limited processing is legitimate interest.

Pages inside your account — the chat, settings and administration areas — are excluded from website statistics entirely.

4. Optional analytics and tracking

Summa does not activate privacy-invasive analytics, marketing, profiling or tracking technologies without valid prior consent. We do not use advertising cookies, cross-site tracking, session recording or heatmaps. Should any optional technology be introduced, it will remain disabled until consent is given, rejection will be as easy as acceptance, refusal will not block the core service, consent can be withdrawn at any time, and this notice will identify the providers, purposes and durations.

5. No third-party content

The website loads no third-party scripts, fonts, or content delivery networks. Typefaces are served from our own servers, so loading a page sends no request to any outside provider and no outside provider receives your IP address.

6. Browser controls

Blocking necessary cookies may prevent login or other essential functionality.
