Privacy & Cookies
the short, honest version

Daily Ketchup is built to catch you up and get out of the way — not to farm your attention. We use only first-party cookies and data. No ads, no third-party trackers, no data selling.

Cookies we set

Cookie Purpose Life
dk_session Keeps you signed in (set only after you sign in). Essential — can't be turned off without signing out. 30 days
dk_anon A random id (no name, no email) so we can tell one anonymous visit from another and not double-count usage. Set only if analytics is on and you haven't declined. 1 year
dk_consent Remembers your analytics choice so we don't ask again. 1 year

What we measure

First-party usage events — which deck was opened, when you reach the "caught up" screen, and what you mute — so we can tell whether the product actually catches people up. It's tied to your account if you're signed in, otherwise to the anonymous dk_anon id above. We don't build advertising profiles and we don't share it.

Your choice

Accounts

If you sign in, we store your email and your per-deck preferences (the topics you've muted, your coverage settings) so your deck can be tuned to you. Sign-in is a magic link — no password. You can export all your data or delete your account any time from your account menu (delete erases your personal data and anonymizes your usage history). Questions? Email mike@unstablestudios.com.
