Our Cookie-Free Approach
PrestaStack takes a privacy-first approach to analytics and user tracking. We are proud to operate a completely cookie-free website that respects your privacy while still providing us with the insights we need to improve our service.
This Cookie Policy explains our approach to cookies, tracking, and analytics, and why you won't find any cookie banners or consent forms on our website.
About Umami Analytics
Umami is an open-source, privacy-focused analytics platform that provides website insights without compromising user privacy. Here's what makes it special:
🔒 Privacy Features

📊 Data We Collect

Essential Website Functions
While we don't use cookies for analytics, our website does use some browser technologies for essential functionality:
Session Storage
We use browser session storage to temporarily store information needed for your current session, such as:
- Authentication state to keep you logged in during your session

Important: Session storage is not cookies
Session storage data is automatically deleted when you close your browser tab and cannot be accessed by other websites. It's a privacy-friendly way to maintain essential functionality.

Our anonymous analytics data is retained to help us understand long-term trends and improve our service:
- Page view data: Retained indefinitely (anonymous and aggregated)
- Session data: Automatically deleted when you close your browser

Security Measures
Even though we collect minimal data, we still implement robust security measures to protect any information that passes through our systems, including encrypted connections (HTTPS), secure data processing, and regular security audits.
