Effective July 10, 2026 · Operated by HUSH
This page explains the cookies and similar technologies HUSH uses and how you can control them.
1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small data files a website stores in your browser. They can be first-party (set by HUSH) or third-party (set by an integrated service). HUSH also uses localStorage for the same purposes described below.
2. Cookies we use
Strictly necessary
- Session — keeps teachers signed in. Set by our authentication provider.
- Vote deduplication — a random device identifier stored in the student's browser to prevent multiple votes on the same question.
- Payments — set by Stripe on payment pages for fraud prevention and session integrity.
Preferences
- Interface state such as the last-selected time range on the Live Questions view.
Analytics
- We use privacy-conscious product analytics to understand feature usage. No submission content is sent.
We do not use advertising cookies.
3. How to control cookies
You can clear or block cookies in your browser settings. Blocking strictly-necessary cookies will prevent you from signing in or submitting questions. Where required by law (e.g. EU/UK), we display a consent banner for non-essential cookies.
