The short version: hellodebut.com uses one cookie. It keeps the founder signed in to the admin area. It is not used for tracking, analytics, or advertising.
What is a cookie?
A cookie is a small piece of text a website asks your browser to store and send back on later requests. They are how a site remembers you between page loads — for example, that you are logged in.
Cookies we set
| Name | Purpose | Type | Lifetime | Who can read it |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| hd_admin_session | Keeps the Arcada LLC admin authenticated. Set only after a successful login at /admin. | Strictly necessary | 14 days, rolling | hellodebut.com only |
That is the entire list. If you are a regular visitor, a customer viewing a preview at /p/<slug>, or a customer on a claimed Site at /c/<slug>, no cookies are set on your device by us.
What we do not use
- No Google Analytics, Plausible, Mixpanel, or any other analytics cookie.
- No Facebook Pixel, Google Ads tag, TikTok pixel, or any ad-tech cookie.
- No A/B testing or session-replay cookies.
- No social-media share or embed cookies.
- No "consent banner" cookie — because we have nothing to consent to.
Third parties
The Stripe Checkout page (hosted on Stripe's domain, not ours) sets its own cookies for fraud prevention while you complete payment. Those are governed by Stripe's privacy policy. We do not receive that data.
Controlling cookies
You can clear or block cookies in your browser settings. Blocking hd_admin_session will simply prevent the founder from staying logged in to the admin area; it has no effect on customers or visitors.
Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control
Because we do not run cross-site tracking, DNT and GPC signals have nothing for us to honor — there is no tracking to disable.
Changes
If we ever add a new cookie, we will update this page and the Privacy Policy before we ship it, and we will be transparent about the purpose.
