PaysumCookie Policy
Effective November 3, 2026
We use a small set of cookies to keep you signed in and make checkout work. No advertising cookies.
1. What cookies are
Cookies are small files a website stores in your browser. Local storage works similarly but stays in your browser and isn’t sent with every request. This policy covers both, and explains how we use them on our website, dashboard and the stores hosted on the Service.
2. Cookies and storage we use
We keep this list short on purpose. We don’t use advertising cookies, and we don’t run third-party analytics on our own website.
| Name | Type | Purpose | Duration | Category |
|---|---|---|---|---|
paysum_session_token | Cookie (HttpOnly) | Keeps you signed in | 7 days | Necessary |
paysum_auth_token, paysum_token | Cookie and local storage | Authenticates your requests while signed in | Until sign-out or the session expires | Necessary |
paysum_session, paysum_user | Local storage | Keeps your session in sync across tabs and caches your profile | Until sign-out | Necessary |
os_clearance | Cookie (HttpOnly) | Records that you passed the security check on a store, so it is not shown again | 12 hours | Necessary |
paysum_oauth_google, paysum_oauth_github | Cookie (HttpOnly) | Protects sign-in with Google or GitHub against forgery | 10 minutes | Necessary |
paysum_cart | Local storage | Remembers the contents of your cart | Until cleared | Necessary |
cookie_consent, cookie_consent_date | Local storage | Remembers your cookie choices and when you made them | Until cleared | Necessary |
Theme preference | Local storage | Remembers light or dark mode | Until cleared | Functional |
user_notifications | Local storage | Remembers which notifications you have read | Until cleared | Functional |
paysum_visitor_id | Local storage | A random ID that lets sellers count unique store visits; not linked to your identity | Until cleared | Statistics |
Necessary storage is required for the Service to work and doesn’t need consent. We only use other storage as described here.
3. Third-party cookies
Some features load services that set their own cookies, under their own policies:
- Cloudflare Turnstile: Bot protection on storefronts, report forms and Discord verification.
- Stripe: Card checkout and plan billing, for fraud prevention.
- PayPal: PayPal checkout.
- Google, GitHub, Discord: Only when you choose to sign in with them.
4. Cookies in seller stores
Sellers can add their own tools to their stores, such as live chat, Google Analytics, Meta Pixel, Microsoft Clarity, Hotjar or Trustpilot. Those tools set their own cookies. The seller decides which tools to use and is responsible for telling buyers about them and obtaining any consent the law requires. Check the store’s own cookie or privacy notice.
5. Your choices
You can change your choices at any time using Cookie settings in the footer of our website. Withdrawing consent doesn’t affect anything stored before you did so.
You can also block or delete cookies and local storage in your browser settings. Blocking necessary storage will sign you out and stop the cart and checkout from working.
