Cookie Policy
The few cookies and browser storage items Gardenroom Studio uses, and why none of them need a consent banner.
Last updated 10 October 2026
The short version
Gardenroom Studio uses one cookie that keeps you signed in, plus a handful of small settings saved in your browser so the dashboard remembers how you left it. We do not use advertising cookies, analytics cookies or any tracking across other websites. Because everything we store is needed to give you the service you asked for, UK law (PECR) does not require us to ask for consent first, so you will not see a cookie banner.
What we use
| Name | Type | What it does | How long it lasts |
|---|---|---|---|
gr.session_token (shown as __Secure-gr.session_token on the live site) | Cookie | Keeps you signed in to your workspace. It is set only after you sign in. | Up to 7 days, or until you sign out |
| Short-lived sign-in cookies | Cookie | Used only while you sign in with Google, Microsoft or Apple, to make sure the sign-in finishes safely. | A few minutes |
gr.sidebar | Browser storage | Remembers whether you collapsed the dashboard menu. | Until you clear your browser data |
gr.assistant.provider and gr.assistant.last | Browser storage | Remembers which AI provider you chose and your last assistant conversation. | Until you clear your browser data |
gr.checklist.dismissed | Browser storage | Remembers that you closed the getting-started checklist. | Until you clear your browser data |
gr.notifications.seen | Browser storage | Remembers which notifications you have already seen. | Until you clear your browser data |
None of these are used to identify you across other sites, and none are shared with advertisers.
Bot protection
Our sign-up page and the enquiry forms on garden-room websites use Cloudflare Turnstile to tell people from bots. It runs a short check in your browser and may look at things like your browser type and network connection. It is there to protect the forms and is covered by Cloudflare’s privacy policy.
Websites built with Gardenroom Studio
The designer and enquiry forms we provide to garden-room businesses do not set cookies or save information in your browser. If a business adds its own analytics or other tools to its website, that business is responsible for telling you about them and asking for your consent where the law requires it.
Managing cookies
You can delete cookies and site data in your browser settings, or block them. If you block the sign-in cookie you will not be able to stay signed in. Clearing the other items only resets your saved dashboard preferences.
Changes
If we ever add a cookie that needs your consent, such as analytics, we will ask you first and update this page. See also our Privacy Policy.
