WStation · wstation.app
WStation uses cookies where it cannot work without them, browser storage to remember what you chose, and Google Analytics to count visits. Every item is named below — if it is not on this list, this site does not set it.
Cookies
| Name | What it does | How long |
|---|---|---|
| ws_session | Keeps you signed in. Without it you would have to sign in again on every screen. It cannot be read by scripts in your browser. | 30 days |
| ws_oauth_state | Set only while you are signing in with Google, to check that the reply came back from the request you started. Deleted the moment you land back. | 10 minutes |
| ws_oauth_return | Remembers which screen you were on so Google sign-in returns you to it. Deleted on arrival. | 10 minutes |
| _ga | Set by Google Analytics. Gives your browser a number so that repeat visits can be counted as one person rather than several. Not needed to use the site. | 2 years |
| _ga_HRTX1TMPV3 | Set by Google Analytics to keep track of a single visit. Not needed to use the site. | 2 years |
The first three are strictly necessary: the service cannot sign you in without them. The two beginning
_ga are not — they are measurement, and they are set by Google, not by us. There are no
advertising cookies, and nothing here is sold to anybody.
Google Analytics
This site loads Google Analytics on every page. It records which pages are opened, roughly where in the world the visit came from, and what kind of device and browser it was, and it sends that to Google. It is switched on from the first page load rather than after a prompt, so if you would rather not be counted, a browser that blocks analytics scripts — or your browser's own "do not track" and content-blocking settings — will stop it. Nothing about your business records, customers or invoices is sent to Google.
Stored in your browser
These are not cookies and are never sent to a server. They live in your browser, and clearing your browsing data clears them.
| Key | What it holds |
|---|---|
| wstation.theme | Whether you chose the light or the dark theme. |
| wstation.activeBusiness | Which of your businesses to open on. |
| wstation.cookieNotice | That you have seen the cookie notice, so it stops appearing. |
| wstation.guest.v1 | Everything you enter while trying the app without an account. This never leaves your browser. |
| wstation.guest.noticeSeen | That you have been told demo work is not being saved anywhere. |
| wstation.guestNotice | That you dismissed the banner about trying the app without an account. Kept only until you close the tab. |
Turning them off
Your browser can block or clear cookies for this site. Blocking them means sign-in will not work, because there is nothing left to remember you by — the demo will still run. Clearing browser storage loses your theme, and any demo work you have not signed in to keep.
