2. Cookies We Use & Why
SQB Stream uses minimal cookies strictly focused on functionality, security, and preference retention. We do not use third-party behavioral advertising cookies.
A. Strictly Necessary & Security Cookies
- SQBS_SESSION: A secure PHP session cookie used to maintain your session state, authenticate admin sessions, and secure checkout sequences. Expires when you close your browser.
- csrf_token: A cryptographic security token used to protect forms (trial submissions, checkout, and contact) against Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) attacks.
B. Functional Preference Cookies
- SQBS_CURRENCY: Stores your manual currency preference (GBP '£' or USD '$') so that plan prices appear in your chosen currency across all pages. Persists for 30 days unless cleared.
- sqbs_cookies_accepted: Stored in local browser storage to remember that you have reviewed and acknowledged our cookie banner so that it is not repeatedly displayed.
C. Content Delivery & Performance CDNs
To ensure lightning-fast page loading across the globe, we load fonts and icons from content delivery networks:
- Google Fonts (Poppins & Inter): Cached locally by your browser for optimal typography rendering.
- Cloudflare / cdnjs (Font Awesome): Provides UI icons for navigation and devices.
