The admin session cookie
| Cookie | Purpose | Lifetime |
|---|---|---|
gsv_session | Identify an authenticated admin session. It is set after a successful login and uses HttpOnly, SameSite=Strict and Secure on the live HTTPS site. | Up to eight hours. Sign out removes it and invalidates the session. |
The app does not set this login cookie merely because you browse the catalogue. Admin sign-in needs cookies; disabling them prevents the session from working.
Hosting and external websites
Cloudflare may use additional cookies when its security or bot-protection features are active. These depend on the host’s settings and the checks triggered for your visit. Read Cloudflare’s cookie information for details.
Marketplace websites may set their own cookies after you visit them. Google Fonts is loaded as an external resource; see our privacy notice for information about those requests.
Other browser storage
The current app does not save customer searches, products or admin login tokens in localStorage. Earlier browser-only versions of the editor may have left a gsv-mart-products-v1 entry on a browser that used them. The current hosted website does not use that entry; you may remove it through your browser’s site-data settings.
Browser caching may keep copies of public images and page assets to speed up loading. Product photo previews are temporary while editing; selecting a photo does not upload it until the admin saves the product.
Your controls
You can inspect, block or delete site cookies and storage through your browser settings. Clearing the admin cookie stops that browser from accessing its session; use Sign out to also invalidate the session on the server. Clearing browser storage does not delete server-side products or admin accounts.
The app currently has no advertising or analytics cookies to opt into. If optional tracking is added later, the notice and any required consent controls will be updated before it is enabled. Questions can be sent to martgsv@gmail.com.
