Cookie Policy
We Were Here
Last updated: July 2026
The short version
We use two small cookies to remember what you've already seen on this device — no analytics, no tracking.
What are cookies
Cookies are small files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help websites remember information about your visit.
What we currently use
We Were Here uses two small cookies, both set by our own site — not by a tracking or advertising network:
- Welcome message— remembers that you've already seen our welcome message, so it doesn't show again on return visits. Lasts up to a year.
- First-time hint— remembers that you've already seen the tap-to-place hint on the canvas, so it doesn't repeat. Lasts up to a year.
Neither cookie identifies you personally, tracks your activity, or is shared with anyone else — each only stores a simple yes/no about what you've already seen on this device.
Analytics and tracking
We do not use analytics or tracking cookies of any kind. No analytics tool is implemented on this site, so nothing about how you browse or use We Were Here is collected or measured through cookies.
Third party cookies
Stripe— when you make a payment, you're taken to Stripe's own secure checkout page, which may set its own cookies as part of processing your payment. These are governed by Stripe's cookie policy, not ours.
What we don't do
- We do not use advertising cookies
- We do not track you across other websites
- We do not sell your browsing data to anyone

If we add or change what cookies we use we will update this page and the date above.
