This policy explains which cookies and similar browser storage Appsium uses on appsium.io, app.appsium.io and appsium.page, what they are for, and how you control them. It is part of our Privacy Policy.
1. In short
- We use a few strictly necessary cookies to sign you in and remember your choices. They are always on.
- We use Google Analytics only if you click “Accept”. Until then the Google Analytics script is not loaded at all and no analytics cookies are set.
- We do not use advertising or cross-site tracking cookies.
- You can change your mind at any time with the Cookie settings link, which is also in the footer of every page.
2. What cookies and local storage are
Cookies are small text files that a website stores in your browser and that are sent back to the site with later requests. Local storage and session storage are similar browser features that keep data on your device without sending it to the server automatically. We use the word “cookies” for all of them where the difference does not matter.
3. Strictly necessary cookies
These are needed for the service you asked for, so they do not require consent. Without them you could not sign in or keep your cookie choice.
| Name | Set by | Purpose | Lifetime |
|---|---|---|---|
appframe_session | app.appsium.io (first party, HttpOnly) | Keeps you signed in to the portal. Holds a random session token and nothing else. | 30 days |
appsium_consent | appsium.io and app.appsium.io (first party) | Remembers whether you accepted or declined analytics cookies, so we do not ask on every page. | 12 months |
sidebar_state | app.appsium.io (first party) | Remembers whether you collapsed the portal sidebar. | 7 days |
| Paddle checkout cookies | Paddle.com (third party) | Set by our payment provider only when you open the checkout or billing portal, to run the payment and prevent fraud. See Paddle's privacy notice. | Set by Paddle |
4. Analytics cookies (optional)
With your consent we use Google Analytics 4 on appsium.io and app.appsium.io to see which pages and features are used and how visitors find us, for example which page led to a sign-up. We do not send your name or email address to Google Analytics, and we do not use it for advertising.
| Name | Set by | Purpose | Lifetime |
|---|---|---|---|
_ga | Google Analytics, on the appsium.io domain | Distinguishes one visitor from another with a random ID. | 2 years |
_ga_GP30Q0PDLK | Google Analytics, on the appsium.io domain | Keeps the state of your visit (session) for our Analytics property. | 2 years |
When analytics is on, Google receives your IP address, browser and device details, the pages you view and the actions you take. Google processes this data on our behalf, including in the United States. See how Google uses information from sites that use its services.
If you decline, or withdraw consent later, the Google Analytics script is not loaded and we delete the _ga cookies from your browser.
5. Local storage
We keep some data in your browser so the product works smoothly. It stays on your device, is not used to track you across sites and is strictly necessary for the feature you are using.
| Where | What is stored | Kept for |
|---|---|---|
| Portal (app.appsium.io) | An unsaved app brief draft, so you do not lose your work if the page closes. | 14 days |
| Portal | IDs of running jobs (keyword research, screenshot generation), dismissed hints and completed onboarding steps. | Until cleared |
| Portal | Your last opened page, chosen workspace language, screenshot source choices and recent search simulator terms. | Until cleared |
| Free tools (appsium.io) | The country you last picked, the text you typed into the character counter, and your App Review check answers. | Until cleared |
You can remove all of it by clearing site data for appsium.io in your browser.
6. Third-party content
These do not set cookies through us, but your browser contacts another company's servers, which then see your IP address:
- YouTube. The “See how it works” video is embedded in privacy-enhanced mode (youtube-nocookie.com). Nothing loads from YouTube until you click the button. Once the video plays, Google may store data in your browser under its own privacy policy.
- Apple. App search in the free tools and the portal sends some lookups straight from your browser to Apple's iTunes Search API, and app icons and screenshots load from Apple's image servers.
- Flag images. Country flags in the free tools load from flagcdn.com.
Fonts, scripts and styles are served from our own domains.
7. Pages on appsium.page
App pages hosted on appsium.page do not use cookies, analytics or advertising, and show no cookie banner.
8. Your choices
- Cookie settings. Open Cookie settings to accept or decline analytics at any time. Declining is as easy as accepting, and nothing on the site depends on your answer.
- Browser controls. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings. If you block strictly necessary cookies you will not be able to stay signed in.
- Google's opt-out. Google offers a browser add-on that stops Google Analytics on every site.
Cookie choices do not affect CLI tokens, AI assistant connections or the server logs described in the Privacy Policy.
9. Legal basis
Strictly necessary cookies and local storage are used on the basis of our legitimate interest in providing the service you request and, where applicable, the exemption for strictly necessary storage in ePrivacy rules. Analytics cookies are used only with your consent, which under Turkish law is your explicit consent. You can withdraw it at any time without affecting earlier processing.
10. Changes
We update this page when the cookies we use change, and change the date at the top. Questions: support@appsium.io.
