Cookie Notice
The studio keeps one thing in your browser, and your browser clears it when you close the tab. The View sets one cookie, which counts your free paintings for the day.

What does this site keep in my browser?
One entry in session storage, and one cookie on the View.
| Name | Where | What it holds | How long |
|---|---|---|---|
paintedcourse.course | Session storage | The course you found and its survey from OpenStreetMap, so a trip to Stripe's checkout and back doesn't lose it | Until you close the tab |
pc_paint | Cookie, sent only to /api/paint | Today's date and how many free paintings you've made today, signed so it can't be edited. Nothing that identifies you. | Two days |
Both are needed for the site to work as you'd expect, so they're set without asking. The session entry is never sent to us on its own: only the order you place carries the course. The cookie is set when painting is open and you open the View or the studio, and it's how three free paintings a day stay three.
What about the services the studio asks?
Nominatim and the Overpass API servers answer your browser's requests; this site loads no script from them and they set no cookie through it. Stripe's checkout page is Stripe's own and may set its own cookies to prevent fraud, under Stripe's privacy policy.
Do you use analytics or advertising?
No.
No analytics, advertising pixels or third-party trackers. If that ever changes, this page changes first, and we'll ask before loading anything. The privacy notice covers everything else.
