1. What cookies are
A cookie is a small text file that a website asks your browser to keep. It lets the website remember something between one page and the next, or between one visit and the next. Some cookies are essential for a website to work. Others, such as advertising and analytics cookies, are not, and need your consent before they are used.
2. Why we use cookies
We use cookies to keep the website secure, to remember your choices, and to make it work better for you. Receipters Technologies Limited (“Receipters”, “we”, “us”) is responsible for the cookies on this website.
3. The cookies on this website
| Name | What it does | Type | How long it lasts |
|---|---|---|---|
| sbx_notice | Remembers your cookie choice (accept all, reject non-essential, or your own settings), so that we do not ask again on every page. | Essential | 12 months |
| sbx_session | Keeps you signed in after you enter a one-time code. It holds a random token and nothing about you. Only a fingerprint of the token is stored on our side. It is set only when you sign in, and browser scripts cannot read it (HttpOnly). | Essential | Up to 30 days, or until you choose Sign out |
Browser storage
Besides cookies, this website keeps up to four small items in your browser’s local storage. None of them is sent to us by the browser on its own, and you can remove them in your browser settings.
- sbx_in only says that this browser has signed in, so that the menu can show “Your box” instead of “Sign in”. It holds no personal information and is removed when you sign out.
- sbx_last holds the email address you last signed in with, so that the PIN window on this device knows who you are and needs only your PIN. Without it, the PIN window cannot sign you in. This is personal information. It stays on this device, and it stays after you sign out, so that you can come back with your PIN. On a shared or public device, choose “Not you?” in the PIN window, or clear your browser data, and it is removed.
- sbx_hide remembers that you chose to hide your details on your profile screen. It holds no personal information. Switch “Hide my details” off, or clear your browser data, and it is removed.
- sbx_notes holds the notes you write beside your receipts, until your box is live. They stay in this browser.
Locked documents
If you add documents to Important docs, the locked files are kept in your browser’s IndexedDB storage, in a database whose name starts with sbx-docs- and ends with a fingerprint of your account. Each file, and its name, is encrypted on your device before it is saved. The browser also keeps a secret key there, which cannot be taken out of it. None of this is sent to us, and we cannot read it. It stays until you delete the documents, erase your locked space from Important docs, or clear your browser data. Until your box is live, this is the only place they are kept.
4. What we do not use
- No advertising cookies and no advertising identifiers.
- No analytics or tracking cookies. We do not measure what you do on this website with a third-party tool.
- No third-party cookies. Our fonts, images and scripts come from our own pages, so no other company sets a cookie through this website.
If we ever add a cookie that is not essential, we will ask for your consent first and update this page before it is used.
5. Your choices
The first time you visit, a message lets you accept all, reject non-essential cookies, or open cookie settings to choose. Today we use no non-essential cookies, so every choice leaves the website working the same. We still keep your choice, so that anything optional we add later stays off unless you accepted it. You can change your choice at any time:
You can delete or block cookies in your browser settings. If you block essential cookies, the website still shows its pages, but the cookie message will appear again, and you will not be able to stay signed in. To see the message again, delete the cookie named sbx_notice. To sign out everywhere on this device, choose Sign out on your box page, or delete the cookie named sbx_session.
6. Changes to this notice
When we change the cookies this website sets, we will update this page and its date. The privacy notice explains how we handle personal information more widely.
