Cookie Policy
Effective Date: 23rd September 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how Skinstrack ("we", "us", or "our") uses cookies and similar technologies on skinstrack.com. It works together with our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service.
1. What Cookies Are
Cookies are small text files that a website stores in your browser. Local storage is a similar browser feature that keeps small pieces of data on your device. Both let a site remember information between page loads, such as whether you are signed in.
2. Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are required for the site to operate. They keep you signed in and protect Skinstrack from abuse and automated traffic. They cannot be switched off without breaking core features such as login, the dashboard, and payments, so they do not require your consent.
| Name | Provider | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| sid | Skinstrack (api.skinstrack.com) | Keeps you signed in after Steam login and links requests to your account session. | 14 days |
| __cf_bm, cf_clearance | Cloudflare | Bot management and DDoS protection. Distinguishes real visitors from automated traffic. | 30 minutes to 1 year |
| Turnstile challenge data | Cloudflare Turnstile | Confirms that protected forms and actions are submitted by a person, not a bot. | Session |
3. Analytics Cookies
We use Google Analytics to understand how many people visit Skinstrack and which pages are useful. The data is aggregated and is not used for advertising or to build a profile of you.
| Name | Provider | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| _ga | Google Analytics | Distinguishes unique visitors so we can measure overall traffic. | 2 years |
| _ga_L6NYCMVEK9 | Google Analytics | Keeps session state for our Google Analytics 4 property. | 2 years |
4. Local Storage
Some preferences are kept in your browser's local storage instead of cookies. These entries never leave your device except where noted, and are not used for tracking.
| Name | Provider | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| st_rid, st_rv:* | Skinstrack | Random anonymous ID and your votes on item ratings, so the same vote is not counted twice. | Until cleared |
| st_utm | Skinstrack | Remembers which campaign link brought you to the site, attached once to your Steam sign-in. | Until cleared |
| loadout_provider, comparison_filters_v1 | Skinstrack | Remembers your chosen market and filter preferences in tools. | Until cleared |
5. Third-Party Pages
When you sign in with Steam or pay through Stripe or OxaPay, you are sent to pages run by those providers. They set their own cookies under their own policies, which we do not control.
6. Managing Cookies
You can view, block, or delete cookies and local storage in your browser settings. Blocking strictly necessary cookies will stop you from signing in and may cause parts of the site to fail. You can opt out of Google Analytics on every site with the Google Analytics opt-out add-on.
7. Contact & Updates
We may update this Cookie Policy when we add or remove cookies. When we do, we will update the effective date at the top of this page. For questions, contact us at [email protected] or via our Discord server.
